There was 32 seconds between the time the injury showed up, and her finally getting off, after a big jump. She had plenty of time, and plenty of evidence to come to the right decision to get the horse to stop, rather then pushing him on to the jump. She just wanted to keep going with no concern for the animal. At the level of horsemanship she is supposedly at, she knew.
In obvious cases of deliberate neglect I have no problem calling it for what it is. In High level competition, sportsmanship and care of the horse should be the top most consideration.She had none.

Well, she’s probably finished, at least at that level. It sounds like many are looking at it like you are. And I don’t disagree that the welfare of the horse needs to be the primary motive in this or any competition.
