Spencer Wilton Hospitalized in Sydney

British Olympic and WEG team rider Spencer Wilton has been hospitalized in Sydney, Australia, with a ruptured disc in his lower back.

Wilton has been struggling with severe back pain since 2018, which he called "the downside of being a professional dressage rider."

In July 2018 he first developed severe back issues and was diagnosed with several prolapsed discs. He made it through the World Equestrian Games with physiotherapy but after Tryon he went in for a second MRI and got an epidural, which takes away most of the pain for a three to four month period in combination with physio.
