Vlock, one of four riders representing Israel in its Olympic equestrian debut, will be competing as part of the jumping team and as a jumping individual. He will be competing with his horse Amsterdam 27, an 11-year-old Holsteiner gelding.[1][2][3] Vlock was eliminated from the jumping team qualifiers event after falling off his horse Amsterdam. Both of them are reportedly unharmed.[4]

Thank you for everything, and above everything else for trying your best to understand me and how I think and for being my friend. It's an honor to learn from you everyday and be a part your journey too."". Instagram. Retrieved 2022-07-26.
