Our deepest thanks to Donna and Debbie, who took care of Tracey on course after she was kicked at the Spring Mountain Endurance ride. Your kindness is appreciated. Tracey was competing on Baxtreet (Lingxiu x Lilliana Bint Lillaine) in the 40klm trainer when she was kicked. Due to the injury she withdrew from the ride, Baxtreet was deemed fit to continue.
