Horse Week: Winter Championships held at Portmore Equestrian Centre

During the championships, Portmore Equestrian Centre and Bluegrass Horse Feed teamed up to host a heartfelt ceremony celebrating the retirement of Suzanne Posnett’s legendary showjumping horse, Karmijn, affectionately known as Minnie.

At the age of 32, Minnie stepped back from her distinguished competitive career in a fitting tribute at the very venue where she had earned numerous victories. The event marked the end of an era for this extraordinary mare, whose legacy in the showjumping world will continue to be cherished.
