    Was just listening to the exciting finale to badminton this evening and remembered this horse and his horrible fall. Anyone know if he is back competing at all? Did he recover?

    As far as I know, he recovered well but I haven't heard him coming back into competition yet (or if he will)

    He's only back home a few months I think. The official line seems to be a comeback, even badders next year! I really hope he does, probably my favourite top horse. Such a brave little lad!

    I've heard some stuff that suggests that if he comes back it'll be a surprise, I really hope they're not true :(

    With all due respect to Camilla, shes a super rider and Jif is a little legend but I sometimes wonder if she needs to slow down a touch.... she always seems to be fastest or up there(other horses as well as Jif) and I think she was WAY up on time at the Olympics...

    He's apparently back in tack for the first time since the accident this week :)

    Yes when you see how emotionally invested the riders obviously are, its hard for the viewer not to get a bit choked up too.

    The piece they did on Pacino was more intense again.
