The couple had also illustrated in 2018 by winning a 1.50m class at the CSI 4*-W in El Jadida, Morocco, before also winning a Grand Prix at 1.50m at the CSI 3* in Gorla Minore, Italy, in 2021 , or even pocketing third place in a 1.50m class at the CSI 5* in Ascona, Switzerland, last year. “You are the horse of my life”wrote the Swiss on social networks. “Our journey began over eight years ago and I will forever cherish the memories we created together. Thanks to you, we joined the Swiss team, celebrated our first victory in a national Grand Prix, ran our first CSI 5*, our first Nations Cup and also won the European Team Championships in Riesenbeck. You made me the rider I am today […] You have truly earned your retirement and I look forward to making new memories with you off the track. Enjoy it champ, you’ve earned it!”
