The organizing team of the GMHA June H.T. regrets to announce the euthanization of a horse after completing the final phase for the division, cross-country. The horse tripped and stumbled suffering an injury. The horse was attended to by the onsite veterinarian and shipped to a veterinary hospital for further evaluation. The horse was diagnosed with a fracture, and the decision was made to humanely euthanize the horse at that time. The rider was uninjured in the incident.
The organizing team of the GMHA June H.T. and the USEA wishes to extend their deepest sympathy to all connections.
