Connections have paid tribute to a CSI5 grand prix-winning showjumper who was fatally injured while competing at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, US.
H&M Chilli Willi, ridden by Belgium’s Nicola Philippaerts, was put down after sustaining a “very complicated fracture” to his left foreleg when he tripped.
A statement from the Philippaerts family said Nicola and Ludo, in consultation with co-owner Frans Lens, had to make a “terrible decision” to have the 13-year-old stallion put down.
The horse joined the Philippaerts’ yard as a seven-year-old and had much top-level success across the world with Nicola. The combination would have been in the running for a place at this summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
