At the beginning of June, Lauren Hough announced the retirement of her top horse Ohlala (Orlando x Cardento). The retirement came a year after the now 15-year-old mare sustained an injury and was given a break from competition.

The pair has countless of victories to look back at, from venues such as Birmingham, Bolesworth, Calgary, Geneva, La Coruna, Lexington, London, Maastricht, Washington, Wellington and Wiesbaden – as well as jumping several clear Nations Cup rounds for Team US throughout their time together. Hough and Ohlala were also individual and team bronze medallists at the Pan American Games in Caledon, Ontario, in 2015. 

With this we take a look back at some of many magic moments in Ohlala's career and wish her a happy retirement!
