The elite British event rider, who suffered a head trauma in a fall last year, fell during the cross-country at Weston Park on Saturday (9 April).
Parklane Hawk fell at a corner fence in the advanced section, but was not injured. “I’m fine, it’s good to have it done,” he said today (11 April). “It’s nice to be fine.
“He [Parklane Hawk] clipped the top of the corner and fell over. He had gone really well until then — he felt good.
“I think it just caught us out. It was a straightforward corner and he just touched it.” William’s wife, Alice Plunkett, tweeted at the weekend to reassure fans that the popular rider had not been injured.
“William had a fall at Weston Park,” she said. “He is absolutely fine. Relieved to get the first fall since his accident over with and be none the worse.”
