Dressage Legend Satchmo Retired from Competition

Eurodressage has reported that Isabell Werth officially retired her Olympic mount, Satchmo, from competition in a special ceremony at the CDI Stuttgart on Saturday  19 November 2011. The horse is still completely fit and healthy, however, Werth feels there is no need to pressure the now 17-year old Hanoverian to perform another show season. Werth has seven Grand Prix horses waiting at home, so she is ready to give them a big future in the international Grand Prix show ring and retire her star horse.
