STABLES
He is based at JS Opatrny, his family's stables in Horovice, Czech Republic. He trains horses and helps his father Vaclav on the farming side.

AIMING FOR TOKYO
He plans to ride his horse Forewer at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I already had millions in offers [for Forewer]. I replied that if Forewer is ever going to be for sale, it will be only after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. He is simply one of the 100% candidates for the event. It suited me that the Olympic Games was postponed. Forewer is nine years old and he has a chance to mature and gain experience for Tokyo." (irozhlas.cz, 04 Oct 2020; sport.cz, 12 May 2020)
