Michael Jung is the leading eventing athlete of his generation and a three time Olympic gold medalist. He has a very natural way of riding and working with his horses and like many of the others at the top of the game believes in allowing horses to be horses, turning them out in fields and allowing them to relax in between competitions. Michael believes that competitions or shows are really only the results of the work done at home and while everyone can have good or bad days, he firmly believes that if you put in the work at home, it will be pay off when it comes to performance and success on the competition circuit.
