British Dressage is sad to report that Delatio, ridden by Emile Faurie and owned by Elena Knyaginicheva, has unfortunately sustained an injury which will prevent him from competing at this week’s FEI World Cup™ Dressage Final in Paris (13 – 14 April 2018).

Emile commented: “Delatio’s been going brilliantly and we’ve been very much looking forward to competing at the World Cup Finals, but this morning he sustained a slight training injury, and with the long term future of the horse in mind, we have made the decision to sadly withdraw from the Finals. It’s very disappointing as he’s been having such a fantastic season.”

Great Britain will nonetheless still feature at the spectacular Paris AccorHotels Arena as Hayley Watson-Greaves and Rubins Nite who’ve enjoyed a tremendous 2017/2018 World Cup season, last week received a well-deserved spot at the Finals following the withdrawal of Australian rider Mary Hanna.
