Zaneta Skowronska's Polish team horse Love Me has failed the re-inspection at the 2024 Olympic Games early Tuesday morning 30 July 2024. 

Three horses were scheduled for re-inspection, only one showed up but did not pass. Polish team reserve Aleksandra Szulc will step in.

The three horses did not pass the first trot up (Amplemento, Love Me, Malagueno LXXXIII). Christian Schumach (AUT) and Jose Daniel Martin Dockx (ESP) decided to pull their horses from the show, while Skowronska re-presented her horse but was not accepted. 

"During the morning re-inspection, unfortunately Love Me was not allowed by the committee to start in the Olympics," the Polish equestrian federation posted. "Thank you very much Żaneta Skowrońska-Kozubik for your hard work put into preparing for this launch. Therefore, we will see Aleksandra Szulc on Breakdance in the arena."

Polish first reserve is Aleksandra Szulc with the 13-year old Polish warmblood Breakdance (by Fred x Carbano).
