At Eventing Equestriad yesterday Stuart Tinney and his 4* Australian 3 Day Event winner, Panamera looked fabulous on the cross country (above) but withdrew before the showjumping phase. Sadly, a statement just put out advises that Panamera is now no longer available for selection due to injury. The statement reads;
Monday May 28th 2012.
It is with huge sadness that Panamera our Elite listed mare will be no longer be available for team selection for The London Olympics.
Panamera sustained an mild injury to her suspensory ligament whilst competing at Equestriad CIC***. With a short rest she will make a full recovery.
Stuart, Karen, part owner Tim Game and all the Team here at Tinney Eventing are absolutely devastated. Being so close to the Games it could not have come at a worse time.
We will now concentrate on Panamera's full recovery and Melbourne International 3DE where Stuart will compete Pluto Mio and Orchard Hill.
We send commiserations to all at Tinney Eventing and all the best for Panamera's speedy recovery
