“He Has Been an Amazing Horse,”: Despite a Heartbreaking Withdrawal, Legendary Equestrian Pays Her Tributes to 5 Star Horse.

The world of equestrian sports comes with its own set of ups and downs. And sending a horse back to the stable can undoubtedly be considered one of the sad moments that come with the sport. After spending years in the arena with the four-legged friend, saying goodbye is truly a heart-wrenching feeling for any rider.

Recently, the equestrian legend, Georgie Goss, also had to bid farewell to his beloved Irish horse, Halltown Harley. The 17-year-old, who qualified for many events and championships with Goss, stepped back from the international competition and is going back to the stables. Amid his retirement, Goergie paid a heartfelt tribute to his horse.

17-year-old chestnut Halltown Harley, after stepping back from the international competition, is going back to the stables. Following this, Georgie Goss expressed her love for Harley, in an interview with the Horse and Hound stating, “He has been an amazing horse. He had been one of those horses who always gave their all. Goss added that he would have jumped for anything for me. I was really lucky to have him.”

According to the equestrian, the decision to send Harley back to the stable was difficult, but the right one. As last year, the chestnut suffered a life-threatening illness leading to round-the-clock care and frequent feeding during the night. Georgie thinks the horse needs to have a few easy years now and have fun. Halltown Harley had joined the legendary equestrian’s stable after the retirement of her five star horse born in 2003, Wii Limbo. Since then, Harley has enjoyed many wins with the equestrian.

Harley had joined Georgie’s stables through the co-owner of the horse, Suzane Doggeett. As after the rider’s 5-star horse, Wii Limbo, went lame, Susan and Georgie found this extraordinary chestnut horse after four months of searching. Since reaching the stables of the equestrian legend, Harley participated in two badminton matches and won a few four-star matches. Harley has also traveled to many continents to secure his wins, including Tokyo, where the horse has participated in the Olympics test event. The 17-year-old was also supposed to compete for Ireland in 2023, but will be joining Wii Limbo in the stables.
