. The situation is different for the Mexican rider Patricio P. Pasquel, who also has experience in championships and CSI5* events. He remains suspended through October 27. He received his first warning at the end of July at the CSI3* in Dinard and then another at the end of September at the CSI2* in Puebla, in his home country of Mexico.
Another well-known rider is now facing a four-week suspension: four-time European Junior Champion Max Wachman (22) from Ireland, who has long been among the world’s best in the senior ranks and is currently ranked 283rd in the world. He received his first warning in early February in Ocala, USA. Last weekend, a bleeding spot—which he had caused—was again noticed on one of his horses, which he was riding at the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Oliva Nova. As a result, he is now barred from competing in any tournaments until November 18.
