Sorry, you are wrong again.
They were just showing this event on NBC, and I just happen to catch Amy’s run.
As she came around that curve before the last jump the announcer said,” Oh, Amy is having some difficulties”, before she took the jump, and immediately on the horse landing the jump he was in the process of saying “this horse has obviously sprained something”.
I can argue with anyone about when a horse is lame or not especially when it was so very obvious way before the jump. Any spectators who thought it was just a twisted shoe, are the ones who need to gain some knowledge.
It’s also polite to ping someone when you are bad mouthing them.

It's interesting to hear that you consider yourself qualified to argue with the likes of David O'Connor and Mark Phillips, who have a different view of the matter than you do. Perhaps you would care to enlighten us about what qualifies you to do so. Whom did you train with? How many horses have you brought to the FEI levels?
An announcer saying, "Amy is having some difficulties" hardly substantiates the view that she deserves to be cited for animal abuse and prevented from riding again.
I did not ping you because I was not directly discussing you, but all of the non-professionals who are attacking this woman and convicting her without all evidence being presented. If you choose to include yourself in their number, so be it.
I consider our discourse closed. You may have the last word, if you like.
