Horse suffers freak injury

TOKYO: Singapore were eliminated from the equestrian dressage qualifiers after Caroline Chew’s horse Tribiani was found to be bleeding from the mouth, bringing an abrupt end to the country’s first foray into the sport at the Olympics.

“It was a bit of a freak accident... he was feeling really good actually, presenting really well and then just caught his lip in the corner, I think. I didn’t feel it happen, but obviously the judge saw it,” Caroline told reporters.
