Thirty-three-year-old eventer Katharine Morel of Fort Saskatchewan, AB, and her horse, Kerry On, died following a rotational fall at Rocking Horse Winter III Horse Trials in Altoona, FL, on Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020.
Morel and the eight-year-old Thoroughbred mare fell at fence eight of the Intermediate level cross-country course.
Discovered by Morel as an off-the-track three-year-old, Kerry On made her FEI debut with the Canadian rider in 2019, contesting three CCI2* events that season. Last month, the pair finished fourth in the Open Intermediate division at Rocking Horse Winter II Horse Trials.
Rocking Horse Stables hosts five United States Eventing Association (USEA) recognized horse trials during the fall and winter months with divisions ranging from Beginner Novice to Advanced Level.
