New Zealand’s Andrew Nicholson is recovering following surgery to repair an injury to his cervical spine (neck), which he sustained August 9th in a fall at the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe.

Nicholson was taken to a local hospital in Swindon after he fell from Cillnabradden Evo at the final fence of the CIC3* Championships cross country course, then transferred to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

The nine-year-old gelding was not injured in the fall.
