The Mexican Equestrian Federation (FEM), led by its president Juan Manuel Cossio Vásquez del Mercado, announced a change in the jumping team that will compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The Mexican pair Federico Fernández Senderos (Romeo) will arrive as a reserve and will replace José Antonio Chedraui Eguía (H-Lucky Retto) because the mare will be undergoing veterinary treatment.
