Andreas Helgstrand to leave Blue Hors

Hummm. Now that's probably one of the best jobs in dressage.

I can't help but wonder whether this means that Matine will never be seen in competition again. I can't imagine that he would leave if he had the chance to ride her in the WC this or next year.....

I believe Matinee is broken

and probably going for breeding.

I love her, her kur on youtube gives me goose bumps!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, she was amazing, wasn't she! So sad that she might never do that again

.

But can't wait to see her babies! Playing fantasy horse breeder - who would you put her to?

 

[cruiseline]

I would love to see a foal from her and Steffan Peters horse Ravel

Yep it would be Ravel.

 

[Halfstep]

I was thinking Breitling W myself, or maybe Royal Diamond to hopefully keep the grey colour.........

I'd heard she was broken too, not coming back to competition. the person who told me said "too much too young"... enormous shame, she was the most amazing mare.

 

[Eventerlad15]

What a shame! She really is the most amazing horse to watch, I could watch that vdeo all day.

I agree she's a beautiful mare and the youtube video is jaw dropping

Although I thought she was at a high level for a young horse. Does anyone know what is wrong with her?

 

[BankEndRescue]

what a crying shame, she was simply spectacular

 

[arwenplusone]

ditto this. One of my favourite horses in competition.

Didn't she have some sort of accident coming of the lorry somewhere? I'm not sure went or where but I thought it was last year some time? I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong though!
Sounds like AH has had a good few years there and enjoyed it, good luck to him with his new business!

Someone with better Danish than me might confirm but I am hoping this is saying Matinee will be back out this October

what a shame, she looked so good

What a shame, she had movement to die for. My Danish WB is by Blue Hors Don Schufro and sadly he was pushed too far too quickly and has had to be retired aged 7 with DJD of both hocks, such a waste.

she damage to the tendon connected to the fetlock bone (suspensory ligament) and therefore she was not fit enought for the olympics but there is a planed come back
