World Champion Allstar B Euthanised After Sustaining Injury on Aachen Cross-Country

We’re devastated to report that Allstar B, the seventeen-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding with whom Great Britain’s Ros Canter became World Champion in 2018, has been euthanised after sustaining an irreparable injury while on course at Aachen today. The injury occurred at fence 16d, a skinny arrowhead that came as the final element of a coffin complex, where ‘Albie’ ran out to the right of the fence and was subsequently pulled up lame. The on-site vets were in immediate attendance on the scene, and Albie was removed to a veterinary clinic for further investigation. There, it was decided that, for the sake of the horse’s welfare, euthanasia was the only viable solution.
