She was always a special one! After winning countless of international competitions together with her rider Patrice Delaveau, Ornella Mail HDC (Lando x Alligator Fontaine) will be retired from the sport. The now 14-year-old mare has a long list of victories under Delaveau: The biggest ones came in the CSI5* Grand Prix of Helsinki (2011), and she has also been victorious in the derbies of La Baule (2013) and Falsterbo (2011). In this photo tribute we celebrate Ornella Mail HDC, her signature jump and take the opportunity to wish her a fantastic retirement at Haras des Coudrettes. All photos (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.
