British Olympic gold medallist, Peter Charles, has sold his medal winning horse, Murka's Vindicat W, to the daughter of rock star Bruce Springsteen.
Team GB beat the Netherlands in a jump-off and it was Hampshire-based Charles' clear round that clinched the top spot.
It was Britain's first Olympic team showjumping gold medal since 1952.
Charles, who won the equestrian event along with Scott Brash, Nick Skelton and Ben Maher, wrote on his Facebook page: "Vinnie is one of the best horses I have ever ridden, so the decision to move him on has not come lightly."
