Austrian equestrian Victoria Max-Theurer was forced to withdraw from the Olympics on Saturday after learning that her horse had developed a tooth infection.
Max-Theurer said her 11-year-old horse, Abegglen NRW, had been behaving oddly during training but it wasn’t until the horse was seen by a team vet that they discovered he had developed an abscess in one of its molars, Horse&Hound reported.
Max-Theurer, 35, would have been making her fifth Olympic appearance.
“This hurts a lot, but the most important thing is and remains my horse’s health,” she continued.
The Austrian Olympic Committee called Max-Theurer’s withdrawal before Saturday’s grand prix a “heavy setback.”
“We hope that Abegglen will feel better soon and that Victoria will continue on her path,” the committee said, via Reuters.
