At the age of 17, it has been decided that David Will and Angelica Augustsson's success mare Mic Mac du Tillard (Cruising x Galoubet A) will be retired from the sport.

"After an incredible career under the saddle of Angelica Augustsson and David Will, still winning a lot this year and in an amazing shape at 17, Mic Mac du Tillard has started her Farewell Tour at the 2017 Global Champions Tour of Mexico, Miami, Shanghai and Madrid. She will say good bye to competition in Paris at the Global Champions Tour in front of the Eiffel Tower, to become a breeding mare at Elevage du Tillard in Normandy where she was born," reads the announcement from Elevage du Tillard. 

Mic Mac du Tillard has had a long and extremely successful career that includes a team bronze medal at the 2013 European Championships in Herning and a World Cup win from Gothenburg in 2011 – both with Angelica Augustsson in the saddle. Mic Mac du Tillard has a long number of international victories, both with Augustsson and Will  – who took over the reins in 2014 when Augustsson moved from Dietmar Gugler to work at Ashford Farm – from Aachen, Hamburg, Cannes, Miami, Madrid, Vienna, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dortmund, Nörten-Hardenberg, Mannheim, Pforzheim, Münster, Samorin, München and Kiel.
