Michael Jung withdraws from WEG eventing; reserve called up for German squad

Michael Jung will miss this year’s World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Tryon, USA (11-23 September) as his ride, FischerRocana FST, has suffered an injury.

The German Olympic champion announced on his website that the mare, the reigning world silver medallist, has suffered an injury to her near-fore fetlock during training.

“According to the vet it is a minor injury, but it takes time,” he said, explaining Rocana has missed the final training sessions and the timescale is too short to get her fit before the horses leave for the US next week.
