Gemma Stevens retira a Chilli King de los Badminton Horse Trials

Gemma Stevens ha retirado a su caballo Chilli King de los Mars Badminton Horse Trials justo antes de la primera inspección veterinaria. Esta semana competirá únicamente con Chilli Knight. Varios jinetes más también se retiraron durante los días previos al evento.

Gemma Stevens anunció la retirada de Chilli King, de 11 años, el 6 de mayo. El caballo, que debutaba en el nivel cinco estrellas, mostró signos de no encontrarse bien durante un entrenamiento matutino, lo que motivó la decisión a pesar de no presentar ninguna lesión grave. Stevens declaró sentirse muy afectada pero que no estaba dispuesta a arriesgar al caballo en un nivel tan exigente. En su lugar, planea preparar al animal para la competición de Burghley más adelante este año.
