Tragic Accident at Saumur, France
Team Fredericks share their heartbreaking news - Nullabor (stable name, Neville) passed away on the Cross-Country course in Saumur, 17th May 2008.
In a freak accident, Nullabor slipped on the flat whilst galloping between fence two and three. He died of a suspected broken neck, although an autopsy will be performed to confirm the cause.
We respect and appreciate the beauty, grace and nobility of Neville and the gifts he brought us. We gratefully acknowledge the joy and unconditional love and acceptance he gave us. Neville made our dreams possible.
As Rudyard Kipling said "He will be our friend for always and always and always."
