Louise Bell's Man On Fire dies after Lincoln Show

Showing producer Louise Bell has lost one of her top working hunter horses — Man On Fire.
The nine-year-old collapsed and died on the journey home to Banbury from Lincoln Show on Wednesday 23 June.
The bay gelding, bred by John Whitaker, was by the coloured showjumping stallion Utah Van Erpekom whom John used to compete.
Man On Fire won £7,000 in his first season on the show circuit, when he was six, and had been a consistent winner for Louise, standing champion at South of England show (10-12 June).
A post-mortem showed he died from a ruptured large intestine.

thats very sad  you would think he would have shown some symptoms of colic first wouldnt you, very unusual to just die like that - what a horrible shock for them |

Having read Louises blog kindly posted on the ShowRing website by someone, it is clear how devestated Louise is. Such an awful situation, I cant believe she has lost 2 top class horses in such a short space of time.
RIP Man on Fire and (hugs) to the Bells

You are all right there are a lot of losses this year; not only did we lose our little man Sedgehill Cavalier at the beginning of June, but a week later my YO lost her 31 year old coloured small hunter, also to suspected twisted gut; and all the while she has been in hospital having chemo for leukaemia.
Life's a b*tch!!
