Very sadly the now 14 year old Utascha has been put to sleep after breaking a leg. The mare had huge success with Eric van der Vleuten and Jeroen Dubbeldam in the saddle, before she was sold to Qatar in December 2013. Utascha participated for the Netherlands at two European Championships –  in 2011 with Eric van der Vleuten and in 2013 with Jeroen Dubbeldam in addition to jumping at the World Equestrian Games with van der Vleuten in 2010. Utascha SFN had numerous top results at five star Grand Prix level, with victories from Oslo, Wiesbaden, Arnhem and Humlikon with Dubbeldam in the saddle.
