Boyd Martin Will Ride Tsetserleg at Tokyo Olympics After Luke 140 Sustains Minor Injury

Put him in, coach! US Equestrian has announced that Boyd Martin will ride his Tokyo reserve horse, the Turner family’s Tsetserleg TSF, at the Olympic Games next month after his nominated ride, the Luke 140 Syndicate’s Luke 140, sustained an injury on his last gallop.

“US Equestrian has announced a horse substitution for the U.S. Eventing Olympic Team ahead of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020,” a press release from US Equestrian states. “The Luke 140 Syndicate’s Luke 140, the selected mount for Boyd Martin (Cochranville, Pa.), will be replaced by Martin’s first direct reserve, Tsetserleg, a 14-year-old Trakehner gelding owned by Christine Turner, Thomas Turner, and Tommie Turner. Luke 140 sustained a minor injury during his training preparation and has been withdrawn from consideration for the team but is expected to make a full recovery.”
