Jill Humphry jumped into a good position on the ranking of the FEI Worldcup finales. However, shortly after the US-rider performed well on Thursday, her , Chromatic BF collapsed and died in the stabling area.
It is with great sadness that we announce that the US horse Chromatic BF, ridden by Jill Humphrey, has passed away during the FEI World Cup Final.
Chromatic BF had returned to the stables after competition on the evening of 18 April and unexpectedly collapsed. He was immediately attended to by the US Equestrian veterinary staff and FEI veterinarians but was unable to be resuscitated.
In line with the FEI Veterinary Regulations, samples have already been taken from the horse, and a full postmortem in line with FEI protocols will be conducted.
Our editorial office send their deepest condolences to the rider, owners, groom and connections.
