Australian rider Heath Ryan, who fell Saturday on cross-country, has a broken collar bone, according to Rolex officials. His horse, Flame, is reportedly OK. Ryan fell yesterday at Jump 27, the Dray, not far from the end of his ride.
Eventers in general, and Australians, are tough. According to the Rolex website, Ryan is flying home tomorrow to Sydney and riding in competition again on Thursday.
