As reported on the Burghley (http://www.burghley-horse.co.uk) website:

It is with deepest regret that we announce that Caroline Pratt suffered a fatal accident while competing at the Burghley Horse Trials on Saturday, Sept. 4.

Pratt, 42, from Middlewich, Cheshire, Great Britian, was single.

The accident was at Fence 26, The Lake Crossing. The horse, Primitive Streak, a 12-year-old, bay gelding, was uninjured.

Jane Holderness-Roddam, chairman of British Eventing, said, “On behalf of the whole sport, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Caroline’s family. The thoughts and prayers of eventing people all over the country are with them at this sad time.”
