Update on Camilla Speirs and Portersize Just a Jif

31 Jul 2012


Marcus Swail, Team Ireland's vet at the Olympic Games in Greenwich, said this morning that he wished to clarify the position on Camilla Speirs's horse Portersize Just a Jif, who sustained a fall during the cross country phase of eventing yesterday (Monday).


"The horse sustained some bruising to his ribs and chest during the fall. He has been under observation at the Olymic Venue Veterinary Clinic during the night and this morning was comfortable, " he said.


"He is moving to another veterinary clinic off site today for a few more days of observation just to make absolutely sure that he's fine."


Rider Camilla Speirs is also fine after the fall.
