2016 Badminton champion - La Biosthetique Sam will be Michael's mount in Rio
“Today must be the worst news of the year” says Michael Jung on his Facebook page as he announced that FischerTakinou would be unable to fly to Rio due to an infection
Michael’s reserve horse La Biosthetique Sam will now be his ride in Rio and Michael says
“The most important thing is that Taki is soon going to be fine and I can count on Sam”
(Some minor modification to the translation on Facebook which had the very tempting headline of ‘No rio for fishing boats d herta kinou’)
Although Michael is obviously disappointed, it isn’t a bad option to be riding the Individual Olympic (2012), European (2011) and World (2010) gold medal winning horse and this year’s Badminton champion.
