Tragedy struck Czech equestrianism. On the same day, the legend of Czech jockeys, Filip Minařík, and young showjumping hope Alžběta Vyštajnová committed suicide. It was reported by the website jezdci.cz.
On Monday, a huge shock rocked the Czech equestrian world. At the age of 48, the four-time German champion and icon of Czech racing sport ended his life. Minařík, a native of Prague’s Radotín, attended the autumn meeting in Baden Baden as a spectator last weekend, a few days before his death, writes web jezdci.cz.

Minařík became the first Czech to surpass the 1,000 career victory mark and took part in the British Shergar Cup. In 2020, he ended his long career due to an injury from a fall from the saddle.
