The oldest horse in the field left the competition at the eventing World Championships first trot-up this afternoon (14 September) in Pratoni del Vivaro, Italy.

Mexican rider Daniela Moguel was asked to take 19-year-old Cecelia, owned by Paloma Garcia and Jorge Eduardo Martinez Castrejon, to the holding box when she presented her to the ground jury and the rider then chose to withdraw rather than re-present.
