Too bad... is there a video clip? What was the distance from the last jump to the finish?

It sounds to me that the horse was injured before the jump?, but the rider kept going...was the injury bad enough that she knew he was injured?

OK - I’ve seen the video... The horse was off before the last jump, and after, certainly... Was it edited or were they just seconds from the finish?
It’s debatable to me whether the rider could clearly tell what was happening well enough to make a decision in real time that is as easy as in hindsight, they can’t see like we can.

I don't know. This might be a difficult call from the saddle, especially with the last fence in sight.
He stumbled, seemed to recover, then went very gimpy on the foreleg. But then it seemed to get better, or the horse compensated for it.
