It turns out that Clooney has a humerus fracture on his right side after a pasture accident earlier this month. According to his rider, Martin Fuchs, “He is in the best care at Tierspital Zürich and seems to be his normal self at the moment.
“He is eating well and is able to put weight on his right leg. The sling helps to stabilize him. Thank you all for your supportive messages and comments.”
The wonderful Clooney was ridden by Martin to individual silver at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games and gold at the 2019 European Championships. .

“If any horse can get through this, it’s Clooney,” he has emphasized. He is hoping Clooney can be made well enough to enjoy a long retirement.
