Another injury for Orient Express HDC

No luck for the French top rider Patrice Delaveau and his Orient Express HDC. Earlier this year the stallion was already put out of sport after being injured. After the Valkenswaard Global Champions Tour competition, the thirteen-year-old has been stuck on the sideline once again.

In an interview to GrandPrixReplay, Delaveaux expressed his malfortune of this year. At Valkenswaard, the silver medal winner of the 2014 WEG, had already quit the competition early.

Delaveau added that the horse is already back at work, but hasn't made any jumps yet. The come back is planned at the FEI World Cup competition of Lyon in November. There is no hurry as the stallion will be the trump card of Delaveau at next year's Olympic Games in Rio.
