Great Britain
Gareth Hughes has withdrawn his number one Grand Prix horse, Briolinca, from British Olympic team contention. The horse is not fit to compete at highest level.
Briolinca is a 15-year old Dutch warmblood mare by Trento B x Royal Dance. She is bred by the Van der Steen brothers in The Netherlands and owned by Hughes in partnership with Julia Hornig.
Gareth and Rebecca Hughes scouted her as a 3-year old. She was first ridden by Rebecca as a youngster, before Gareth took over.
Five Years on the Rise
One of Britain’s top dressage horses has been ruled out of this summer’s Tokyo Olympics owing to injury.
Gareth Hughes’ 2019 European Championships team horse, the 15-year-old Trento B mare Classic Briolinca, sustained a strain to a ligament in her front leg at the start of this year. As a result, she has been withdrawn from Olympic team consideration.
“With that sort of injury they do need a few months off and the timing couldn’t have been worse; she will be back in work just as they trot down the centre line in Tokyo,” Gareth told
H&H.
