We are sad to announce that our ‘horse of a lifetime’, Remming will be retired from top level competition following injury.
While based with Carl Hester for a week’s training, Remming was examined and scanned by Team GBR vet Robrecht Cnockaert on 27 May who diagnosed a 40% tear in his left foreleg suspensory ligament. He was then put on a strict exercise plane and referred to Glasgow for a second scan.
We took him to Glasgow on 17 June and they confirmed the significant trauma injury to the leg.
This current injury combined with a previous hind leg injury and his age (16), confirm that he is unlikely to ever return to top class competition. He will now be in a programme of intensive, careful management which should ensure he’s capable of returning to light work and hacking in the future.
Christine commented; “We, as his owners, would like to thank Remming for being our 'horse of a lifetime '. An outstanding horse of beauty and intelligence, he is a true gentleman who always gave his best. He will now have the very best of treatment for the rest if his days and will enjoy a happy, peaceful retirement alongside his friends Mozart and Ghandi in Scotland.”
