Update on Justine Dutton: The British Eventing Team member, who had a rotational fall on the cross country course, provided an update on her Facebook page about her condition for friends and well-wishers:

Hey everyone, Justine here. Wanted to give you all an update while I get up to having my phone for a few minutes. I am doing alright but in a lot of pain and have been admitted to Fairfax hospital in VA for at least a couple days. I am sporting multiple broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a broken shoulder and a broken collar bone as well as a beautiful black eye. Jak is absolutely fine thank goodness and is back in Pa happily out with his friends. I don’t entirely remember what happened but I understand it was pretty horrific and I am sorry to anyone that witnessed it. Thank you to everyone who’s texted or called to check on me and I am eternally indebted to Jill Henneberg who has been my rock and not left my side – she’s mainly in charge of my phone so if you text you may get a response from her which will be far more entertaining than me. Hugest of thanks to Katie Reynolds 父 Wentz and Kathleen Raye Cuca for coming to the hospital and spending hours on hours with me. Chris Barnard will be back from GA and here with me first thing tomorrow.

The U.S. Eventing Team won their second consecutive FEI Nations Cup™ CICO3* at the Great Meadow International, presented by Adequan on Sunday. The team from Canada took second place and Great Britain was third.
