I just got off the phone with Beth, here is the story she told me.

Austin jumped the gate, and it was 4 1/2 feet tall. Austin is almost 5 feet tall. You got the sizes mixed up there.

Austin hurt his leg. They brought him to the horse show because they didn't notice it at first. When they took him out of the trailer, he was limping. Their mom went home to get him some medicine. They waited around to see if the medicine would help him.

The poor boy was still limping, so he didn't get to go into any of the shows.

*************
I hope Austin gets better. Poor boy. Give him hugs from me, Beth. Hoping for a fast recovery, and some prizes at the next show!
