The video of the fall of Athina Onasis during an equestrian event in Geneva, which led to the euthanasia of the horse, was released on the internet.
The video clearly shows Athina’s accident and the seriousness of the accident for both horse an rider.
She was not injured, but the animal did not, unfortunately, avoid injury.
The horse was moved by crane to a special veterinary clinic where he was examined by veterinarians, who decided to euthanize it, since it had suffered serious njuries.
“To help it avoid suffering, we deemed it necessary to put it to rest”, said the vet responsible for the decision. Athina is, according to reports, inconsolable, since the horse Ad Camille Z-Zang had been her comrade in many races worldwide.
