August 20th, 2016

Traveling back to Germany, after an emotional Olympics, happy to enjoy my bronze medal with my friend and colleague and also bronze medal winner, Eric Lamaze. I am happy to say that Nacho is sound and fit after today's mishap. He squealed and leaped in the air tonight when we jogged him up before I left Rio. Not tired at all! After the crash at the first fence, I was not sure if Nacho had injured himself. That is why I only jumped one more fence and took him out of the course to check his condition.

Bronze Medal for Team Germany!!! 💪🏻🇩🇪🏅🎉 😄 🍾

Nacho jumped great again today!! He had just one unlucky fence down and was just above the time allowed. Christian Ahlmann with Taloubet Z and Daniel Deusser with First Class both had 4 penalties, Ludger Beerbaum and Casello went clear. A perfect jump-off by Nacho, Taloubet and First Class secured the bronze medal!! :)

Congratulations to Team France for winning the Gold medal and Team USA for winning the Silver medal!
