After the fall, Frodo Baggins was immediately attended by a team of veterinarians. He was given intravenous fluids and supportive medications for shock and pain.  After he was stablilized, he was sedated and transported by ambulance to nearby Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, where he was immediately attended by emergency personnel.

Further tests showed that Frodo Baggins had sustained a fracture at the base of his skull, as well as a severe lung injury.  As the prognosis was very poor, a representative of the family concurred that euthanasia was the most humane option for the horse.  A complete necropsy examination will be performed.  Everyone at the event is saddened by the loss of this brave horse.

Ashker was transported to the University of Kentucky Hospital, where it was determined she sustained a fractured jaw, broken ribs and collarbone, punctured lungs and lost some teeth.  She is on a ventilator in critical but stable condition at a level 1 trauma center at UK.
