IT has emerged that German eventing rider Michael Jung managed to win the European gold medal last weekend and Burghley International Horse Trials the week before, while riding with a broken leg.

Jung suffered the injury in a fall at the water complex with Fisher Rocana FST at Burghley on September 6th but amazingly managed to not only carry on competing with his second mount La Biosthetique Sam - they managed to win the four-star competition.
