Rio Olympic team gold medal-winning horse dies, aged 13: ‘He was my faithful friend’

Entebbe De Hus, who was a member of France’s gold medal-winning eventing team at the Rio Olympics, has died after a bout of colic.

The 13-year-old, owned by Agnès Célerier and his rider Karim Laghouag, had returned home from the Grand Renaud au Mans veterinary clinic on Sunday (21 October), but he could not survive a second attack and died at the clinic last night.

Karim said: “He has been and will remain my faithful friend. I am devastated because what he brought me was unique and magical.”
