At the end of April, Pedro Veniss announced the retirement of his 15-year-old success mare For Felicila (For Pleasure x Espri). The mare will be spending her retirement at Elevage de Will where she will turn her focus to breeding. 

With Veniss in the saddle, For Felicila helped Brazil win the CSIO5* Nations Cup at Hickstead in 2017 and recorded five-star victories at big venues such as Stuttgart and Spruce Meadows. The mare also has several other wins on her record, from Oliva and Vejer de la Frontera. 

Diving into our photo archives, we wish For Felicila a happy retirement!
