Isabell Werth, a five-time German Olympian and five-time World Cup Gold Medalist, will not be competing with her top horse for 2024, Emilio as planned.

“As always, our horses lead the way. Unfortunately, Emilio has a bony skin inflammation due to a trauma. This will cancel his start to the World Cup Final in Riyadh. What a pity! I’m going to start with Quantaz instead. He is very good and I hope we will be able to prove our form there. Please keep your fingers crossed.”
