Edwina given all clear after fall in Global Champions Tour

Australia’s Edwina Tops-Alexander has maintained her 14 point lead on the Global Champions Tour ladder, despite a devastating fall at the latest round in Wiesbaden, Germany Saturday night.

A fall from her steed Cevo Socrates saw Edwina taken to hospital with a slight concussion and suspected broken wrist.

Equestrian Australia’s National Performance Director for Jumping, Stephen Lamb, said he spoke with Edwina’s parents and she is OK.

“Edwina’s parents confirmed she was taken hospital and they thought she may have a broken wrist but it all checked out OK and she should be out later on Sunday,” he said.

Edwina’s consistent performance throughout the GCT has allowed her to maintain the lead and has the rest of the pack chasing the world’s best ranked female jumping rider.
