Legolas retired from competition sport in Del Mar

American Rio Olympic team horse Legolas has been retired from competition sport in a special ceremony held on Saturday evening 28 April 2018 during the CDI-W Del Mar.

The Westfalian gelding Legolas (by Laomedon x Florestan II) is 16 years old.

For his retirement, a tribute video was shown (see embedded video), followed by Steffen riding Legolas to their freestyle music. The ceremony ended with the traditional, public unsaddling. Legolas then got a special cooler and wreath of roses around his neck.
