The event riders are supervised by Dominik Burger as chef d’equipe and Ernst Wettstein as technical trainer.
“The WEG terrain course in Tryon will be very demanding with a length of around 5,700 meters and a maximum of 42 effort.,” said Burger. “We have to ride tactically and use the horses according to their potential and their fitness. From our point of view, we have a very strong team this year, and we are curious what we will achieve together.”
