After a long and very successful career, Oh d'Eole will be retired from the sport.
The now 14-year-old mare by Kannan x Papillon Rouge has competed at the highest level of the sport for several years with top riders: McLain Ward, Marc Bettinger, Michel Robert, Kevin Staut and eventually Gregory Wathelet who took over the reins at the end of 2014.
Oh d'Eole has been known as one of the fastest horses on the circuit, and has victories from all over the world on her record: Shanghai, Lyon, Bourg-en-Bresse, Barcelona, Magna Racino and Spruce Meadows are among the destinations she won big classes with her different riders.
