Late July US team rider Kasey Perry-Glass announced the retirement of her number one Grand Prix Horse, DWB gelding Goerklintgaards Dublét by Diamond Hit x Ferro, bred by Jørgen Ravn.
Kasey Perry-Glass discovered and purchased Dublét in Denmark in 2012 and had their Grand Prix debut in 2016.
They were part of the bronze winning US team at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the silver winning team at the 2018 WEG in Tryon.
On her Facebook page Kasey Perry-Glass writes:
- When I look back on our journey, I see more than just his accolades and the ones he has given me. I see a horse with a huge heart to please, love, and try his hardest in everything he does. He does not owe me anything and now I owe him the best retirement a horse deserves! I have come to the conclusion that purusing another year at the elite level is not in his best interest. Representing the USA has been one of the greatest honors of our partnership. We never took it for granted and did it with Pride.Obviously, this is a lot harder for me than it is for him; he thinks he has the life with all-day turnout and easy rides.
NADWA wishes Dublét a happy retirement.
