Gemma Stevens drar sig ur Badminton Horse Trials med Chilli King

Gemma Stevens har dragit sig ur Mars Badminton Horse Trials med hästen Chilli King precis innan den första hästbesiktningen. Hon kommer endast att tävla med Chilli Knight under veckan. Flera andra ryttare har också dragit sig ur under de sista dagarna inför evenemanget.

Gemma Stevens meddelade att 11-åriga Chilli King dras ur tävlingen den 6 maj. Femstjärniga debutanten visade tecken på att inte må bra under en morgonritt, vilket ledde till beslutet trots att ingen allvarlig skada föreligger. Stevens sade att hon var förtvivlad men ovillig att riskera hästen på en så krävande nivå. Hon planerar att istället sikta på Burghley senare under året.
