Top US showjumper Lauren Hough is forced to take an unfortunate break from competing following a minor meniscus tear sustained while riding at her Wellington, Florida base on Sunday January 24.

According to her official social media account on Facebook, Hough is scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery next Tuesday and will return to the competition ring in three to four weeks.

We wish Lauren a quick recovery!
