Vet check show-jumping horses
134 show-jumping horses were presented at the vet check

Three horses were sent to the holding box. Isaac (Rider: Royne Zettermann/SWE) passed the subsequent check, Paradigm (Rider: Mario Deslauries/CAN) and Cartouche (Rider: Ales Opatrny/CZE) will have to be presented at the re-inspection on Tuesday morning.

Two horses were withdrawn: Guarana Champeix (Rider: Rutherford Latham/ESP) and O de Pommes (Rider: Vitor Teixeira/BRA). This means that the Brazilian team now only has three riders. After the last-minute cancellation of the reigning Olympic gold medallist, Rodrigo Pessoa, the remaining team members are Bernardo Alves, Alvaro Mirando and Cassio Rivetti.
