Janika Sprunger's Olympic mare 'bonnie' retires from the sport

Switzerland's Janika Sprunger says goodbye to her trusted 'bonny'. The 13-year-old KWPN-mare, Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet) will continue her career as a breeding mare with the French Haras de Clarbec.

Sprunger competed the mare since 2013 at an international level. The combination developed up to an international five start level.

She made dreams come true and gave us so many incredible moments with winning several GPs up to 5*, jumping numberous of clear rounds for the Swiss Team in Nation Cups and Championchips, carrying me over the Olympic Games in Rio with two clear rounds and winning team bronce at the European Championchip in Aachen!

In so short time she has proved so much!! A tiny horse with a heart bigger than i could even imagine a horse could have. She was the most clever horse i ve ever met but yes she had also a lot of attitude ;) !! Thank you for everyone that has crossed her way and looked after her with the love she deserved! I wished she could have stayed longer in the sport but now its time for her second career as a breeding mare.
