I think it was diplomatic:)
No, really, I find it hard to believe that at that level of competition, with the experience that a rider would have at that level, that she could NOT know that horse was seriously hurt. It was so obvious in the film, and she had plenty of time to know it was serious before the jump.
I think she took a gamble and lost. And for that I don’t think she should be allowed to compete at that level again. But I’m not PC:)

Fair enough. :~)
I think from the standpoint of protecting the best interests of the horses used in sport, that’s definitely the strongest statement they could have made.
