It is with great sadness that the Caber Farm September Horse Trials Organizing Committee reports that Rocket Man lovingly know in the barn and shown previously as Warrior, a 6-year-old Oldenburg gelding (W Revenue x Moon Legacy) ridden by Erin Grandia and owned by Erin and Julie McPherson, was euthanized due to injuries sustained after getting loose from the stabling at Caber Farm on September 4th, 2020. The veterinarian was on site and immediately tended to Warrior. The members of the Caber Farm Organizing Committee wish to extend their deepest sympathy and condolences to all those connected with Warrior.
