At the Olympic Games in Rio the eleven year old gelding Hermes Ryan (s. Hugo Gesmeray) ridden by Simon Delestre got injured in his stable. He had a small fracture in the lead joint and Simon Delestre's Olympic dream with the chestnut came to an early end . The chestnut got some time to recover from his injury and started working again a few days ago. He is being worked on the flat now and by the end of the year he should jump a little bit at home. Simon Delestre says on his Facebook page: "It has been some days now that Hermes Ryan has returned to a more intense training, his physical state allowing him to flat very normally. He should jump a little bit at home by the end of the year, he his in a perfect state of mind, mostly thanks to my amazing team who takes great care of him. I will take all time necessary to put him back into competition in the best conditions possible."
