As you likely have heard by now, tragedy befell the equestrian community when a young rider named Olivia Inglis died during an event in New South Wales, Australia on Sunday. The 17-year-old died after a rotational fall of her horse, Coriolanus; he reportedly caught his knees on the fence and flipped over, crushing Inglis. Paramedics rushed to help Inglis, but sadly they were unable to save her. It has also been confirmed that Inglis’s Coriolanus was euthanized on Tuesday under recommendation from a veterinarian because the fall resulted in a displaced fracture in his neck.

In touching tribute to the young equestrian, people from all over the world are posting notes and photos of themselves and their horses using the hashtag #RideForOlivia. The images will be compiled and made into a photo mosaic and given to Olivia’s parents.
