At the end of November, Scott Brash announced the retirement of the incredible Hello Sanctos (Quasimodo van de Molendreef x Nabab de Reve).

The now 17-year-old gelding has recorded Grand Prix victories all over the world, and is the only horse in history to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping after topping the Rolex Grand Prix of Geneva in 2014 then following up with victories in the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen as well as at Spruce Meadows in 2015. Brash and Hello Sanctos were also part of the British team that won the gold at the Olympic Games in London in 2012 as well as gold at the European Championships in Herning in 2013. In Herning, Brash and Hello Sanctos also won the individual bronze medal. 

With this photo special, we take a look back at a few of the many, many, magic moments in Sanctos' career as we wish him a happy retirement!
