Top event horse put down during colic operation: ‘He was an absolute dream horse’

A horse who would have been an individual medal contender for next year’s rescheduled Tokyo Olympics has been put down.

Bayro, the ride of Dutch eventer Tim Lips, was put down yesterday (29 March) – vets were unable to save the 14-year-old grey during a colic operation.

“This morning we had to say goodbye to my favorite horse Bayro with a lot of pain in our hearts,” said Tim. “I have been lucky to have had many special horses in my life, but Bayro was definitely the number one – a horse with a sweet character, so intelligent, so much quality; an absolute dream horse.”
