Lyndal Oatley's Sandro Boy Passed Away

Lyndal Oatley sadly had to part from her number one Grand Prix horse Sandro Boy, who died unexpectedly at their home yard in Appelhulsen, Germany, on 1 June 2018.

"Utterly heart broken and have no words," Lyndal wrote on Instagram. "He died unexpectedly and quickly today while still making sure all around him were ok before very quickly leaving us."

The 17-year old Oldenburg gelding most likely died of an aortic rupture during a light stretching session. Oatley told Eurodressage that the horse gave his rider just enough seconds to dismount, and then looked at Lyndal and her husband Patrik Kittel and died.
