The defending Olympic show jumping individual gold medalist, Ben Maher of Great Britain, is switching rides to defend his title in the competition that begins Thursday in Paris. Point Break, the horse he was scheduled to compete, is “down to form, post-travel.”
Instead, he will ride Dallas Vegas Batilly, the horse he owns with Charlotte Rossetter and Pamela Wright. He rode Explosion W when he earned the title at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
