Tom McEwen’s two Olympic medallists are enjoying some time relaxing together following JL Dublin’s success at Paris 2024 last month. Tom shared a video on Instagram of JL Dublin and Toledo De Kerser, who won Olympic team gold and individual silver at Tokyo in 2021 and world team gold in 2018, trotting round the field at the world number one’s Gloucestershire yard yesterday.

Toledo, who is owned by Fred and Penny Barker, Jane Inns and Tom’s mother Ali, suffered an injury on the cross-country course at Burghley Horse Trials last year. Tom’s wife Harriet told H&H that he did a few months’ ridden work as part of his rehabilitation earlier in the year, then was turned away again. He will come back into ridden work again later in the year.
