Aiken, S.C.—April 8— The team at Stable View has shared with great sadness that Bold Tiger, ridden by Dr. Nikki Scherrer, DVM, and owned by Jill Tallman, was humanely euthanized as a result of an accident on cross-country while competing at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina. The pair was competing in the CCI2*-S division.
The horse is being taken to the Athens Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for necropsy examination.
The rider, Nikki Scherrer, was transported to the hospital for further examination, out of abundance of caution, but no major injuries were sustained.
Further inquiries should be directed to Press Officer Sally Spickard at 619-886-2668.
The USEA extends our condolences to all of Bold Tiger's connections and wishes Scherrer the best of luck in her recovery.

There is nothing like competing in a USEA Classic Series Event and interim USEA Podcast Host Rosie Russell sat down to chat with the three champions from the Coconino USEA Classic Series.

In eventing, as across equestrian disciplines, every rider entry holds significant importance, extending far beyond the individual competitor. For the eventing community specifically, each entry plays a vital role in promoting inclusivity, ensuring financial viability, and maintaining the high standards set by USEA-recognized events.
I have been working towards my goal of qualifying for AEC for quite some time now. I made the switch from hunters to eventing about eight years ago because I loved the adrenaline rush of cross-country. Although my family wasn’t able to buy a horse that had “been there, done that,” they have shown so much support for me in this dream.
