Neveah, 2006-2013

By Equiventures | Feb 08, 2013

It is with deep regret that the USEA announces the passing of Andrea Leatherman's 7-year-old Thoroughbred mare, Neveah, after a fall at the Ocala Horse Trials today. We send our greatest condolences to Andrea and all of Neveah's connections.

"Horse No. 27, Neveah, fell at Obstacle No. 4 on the Intermediate Cross-Country Course.. The obstacle was a Tabled Oxer. Neveah caught both front legs on the front of the oxer and rotated over the jump. It landed with its head and neck on Andrea Leatherman. Sadly, Neveah expired shortly after landing. Andrea suffered a concussion and undetermined other injuries. She regained consciousness and was speaking clearly. She was transported to Ocala Regional Hospital for examination. Equiventures and the Florida Horse Park extend our deepest sympathies to Andrea and her crew." - Malcolm Hook, Technical Delegate
