Die Prüfung wurde trotz des Todesfalls weitergeführt. Die Parade zu Ehren der britischen Medaillengewinner von Athen wurde abgesagt. Der einzige deutsche Teilnehmer, Adam Liedermann (Blender), wurde mit seinem Pferd Rainbow schon vor dem Geländeritt aus dem Feld genommen.

CAROLINE PRATT
It is with deepest regret that we announce that Caroline Pratt suffered a fatal accident whilst competing at Burghley Horse Trials on Saturday, 4th September 2004.
Caroline Pratt, aged 42, from Middlewich, Cheshire was single.
The accident was at Fence 26 The Lake Crossing. The horse, Primitive Streak, a 12 year old Bay Gelding, owned by Mr Kinsey, number 112 was uninjured.
Jane Holderness-Roddam, Chairman of British Eventing said "On behalf of the whole sport, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Caroline's family. The thoughts and prayers of eventing people all over the country are with them at this sad time."
