Ireland's Bertram Allen will unfortunately be missing out on the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, as his horse Pacino Amiro (Pacino x Nc Amiro) has sustained an injury.
Announcing the news on social media, Allen wrote: "I’m saddened to share that Buddy (Pacino Amiro) has a minor injury and won’t be able to compete in the Paris Olympics. I was so looking forward to our second Olympics together, but Buddy’s recovery is our top priority. I wish the entire Irish team great success in Paris. They’re stronger than ever and ready to achieve amazing things."
In Ireland's definite entries for Paris, Allen and Pacino Amiro were listed as the travelling reserve pair. Horse Sport Ireland has not yet announced who among their non-travelling reserves will replace Allen and Pacino Amiro.
