It was supposed to be Charlotta Rogerson's first World Championship, but that won't happen now. The Swiss dressage rider has had to withdraw from the competition in Aachen, leaving only three Swiss riders to compete.

According to the Swiss magazine “Pferdewoche,” which cites a report from the association, Charlotta Rogerson’s horse—Bonheur de la Vie, the former Louisdor Prize winner trained by Sandra Nuxoll—is not in good condition.


Rogerson explained: “This decision was anything but easy for me. My horse isn’t 100 percent fit right now. My horse’s well-being always comes first for me—even if that means giving up my biggest athletic dream. However, my horse’s health and trust are more important than any championship. I look forward to returning stronger alongside Bonheur de la Vie. I sincerely wish the Swiss team a successful World Championship and am keeping my fingers crossed for them.”


Not a draw


We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed, because with Charlotta Rogerson’s absence, the team is losing its strongest pair—and she won’t be replaced. So the team won’t have a discard score. The riders are: Charlotte Lenherr on Dettori, Delia Eggenberger on Santa Maria, and Estelle Wettstein on Quaterboy.
