Sanceo Retiring from Competition After Leading USA to Historic Silver Medal at Tokyo Olympics

Sanceo, the horse that Sabine Schut-Kery rode to lead the United States team to an historic silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, has been retired from competition.

“We have made the decision to retire him at the age of 17 from competitive sport,” Sabine texted dressage-news.com from her home in San Ramos, California Sunday night.

Saneco is a Hanoverian stallion (San Remo x Ramiro’s Son II) owned by Alice Womble.

The German-born Sabine first competed Sanceo as a four-year-old in California in 2010 and developed the horse in mostly national competitions for the next five years.

After their first Florida competitions at Small Tour in 2015, the partnership was selected for a summer European tour, competing at Munich, Germany and Achleiten, Austria.
