The Queen of the Kur, Anky van Grunsven, has announced that she will not be competing in the dressage phase of the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky this year.

 

Anky’s number one horse, Salinero, has been injured for two months after bruising his withers in his stall. The healing process is taking much longer than expected and will take at least one more month.

 

Anky has also decided not to try her second mount, the Painted Black, because of inconsistent performances of late and a small injury.

 

Anky estimates her chance to finish in the top five as very small.

 

Her withdrawal should not affect the Dutch WEG team, which is still expected to be very strong.

 

It is not known whether Anky will aim to compete in the reining phase instead.
