Tokyo talking points
OUR riders returned from Tokyo 2020 with no fewer than 13 medals, proving themselves once again to be among the world’s best.
Vital to the performance of our Team GB horses are the vets and farriers that accompany them to the Games. With so much uncertainty in the run- up, and concerns regarding the challenging Tokyo climate and Covid-safe practices, the equestrian support team recognised that this would be no ordinary event. What did they make of the experience?
“The 2019 Tokyo test event gave us the chance to see how the horses coped with the travel and conditions,” says British eventing vet Liz Brown MRCVS.
