@pjproudify

Blue Hors Matine was retired from competition in 2009 but had not competed since the 2007 World Cup final, where she was injured in a paddock accident before the event.

Her stud said the she had to be put to sleep after breaking her offside foreleg at the knee.

My favorite of all dressage horses and Andreas Helgstrand is my favorite rider I adore him. I was shocked to find out she is gone. So young...my horse died at 32 she would of had all those dancing years ahead of her. Wonderful video I adore this. RIP dancing angel

[kirstine1985]

R.I.P Dancing Queen!!

[MrCharlie4ever]

I must agree... since i live in denmark...she was really amazing, and beautyful, this song and this video, its stunning, i was about to cry. RIP Blue Hors Matine

[roesbud53]

I thank you for this. I only found out now that she is gone and my heart mourns her as if she was my child..... Go With God our magnificent Blue Hors... there will never be another like you.

[cdntruckerwife]

[lyonskelstrup]

This is the best video ever...I cried from the beginning...Im gonna name any horse i get Matine after her R.I.P

[Eventingirl96]

This was such a powerful video. Amazing!! You brought tears to my eyes. I will NEVER forget these two. They were the best Dressage pair ever. I personally think they should have won over Anky and Salinero's performance at WEG 2006.

[orvilleboi]

She was a true miracle horse. The most beautiful dressage mare i have ever EVER seen perform.

A very beautiful video, for a very beautiful mare, what an absolute tradgedy </3 xx

[diane189444]

I can't believe she is gone my heart goes out to the family and to Andreas Helgstrand my heart is broken I watched this video over and over I loved her so much. God Bless her :(

[PhotosFromAbove]

[serrenastorr4168716]

I love his horse and the rider is so still on the horse i like better than the women and my hart gos out to the rider a bond that will be in your mind for ever.

[BrigetteBeasley]

What a beautiful song!

[mshobohorse]

It seems the greatest things in life get taken away from us. Although we should be thankful for what Matine gave to us. She and Moorlands Totilas are my most favorite Dressage horses.

[hellishmovie]

Tears here also but she will live forever on YouTube

[razza2898]

every time i watch no matter how many times i still cry. i cant imangen how Andreas must feel. saddest thing ever :'(

[992929]

[lakota123max]

[elom55]

Great tribute to a great horse! Her 06 freestyle final is one I'll never forget. I've never hit the replay button so many times! RIP Matine.

[horsejudge27]

So very sad. What a wonderful horse. She loved her job.

[0xAshleyMx0]

Did she ever have a foal?

[flowerzaphod]

@0xAshleyMx0 No but there was rumors that she was either pregnant or was going to be breed before she died.

[94gunsmoke]

@0xAshleyMx0 No

[94gunsmoke]

Beautiful, lovely video. I really enjoyed it, thank you for honoring this wonderful girl! R.I.P. Blue Hors Matine

[flowerzaphod]

@94gunsmoke Thank you for the nice comment, it was the least I could do for her.

[razza2898]

she was the reason i quit show jumping 4 dressage, RIP Blue hors matine :(

[TheBrendadale]

@94gunsmoke Here's a girl who LOVES what she's doing. But you can tell immediately at the end of her performance that her rider loves her, Blue just totally relaxes, and she can just be a horse! When a horse can do the weird things people ask them to do, and love what they do, and STILL respect their people, that's respect and trust from both sides!!!! It's an earned relationship, and humans should be humbled that a horse can give SO much, and ask so little in return.

[94gunsmoke]

@TheBrendadale :) yes, she does relax so immediately that you know that SHE knows she has done her job and it made her happy to please her rider

[TheBrendadale]

@94gunsmoke I don't think she was just pleasing her rider. I can see she was totally enjoying herself, showing off, her energy is totally her own! It must be such a pleasure, such a treat, to ride a horse of this calibre! A horse that can teach you so much more than you ever intended to teach the horse! THAT IS A HUMBLING RELATIONSHIP!!!!! Kudos to horses!!!!

[94gunsmoke]

@TheBrendadale :)



[Chrissiemuz]

@TheBrendadale You're so right! Matiné wasn't a horse you could force into doing anything! She had her own "opinions" and was both very sensitive and eksplosive... But once you really got to know her, and work WITH her - she'd do anything if you asked nicely. She LOVED working and she LOVED attention! I have no doubt that Matiné was dancing each time she stepped out in front of the audience :o)

[TheBrendadale]

@94gunsmoke I just want to add one more thing. Many of the dessage movements are things horses can and do use in their play time as wilder critters. We used to breed quarter horses, but the young'uns were never touched by human hands until they were at least 2 yrs old. The herd, small as it was, was allowed to be wild and interactive. The babes were allowed to be horses, totally themselves. It makes for a much better horse in the long run.

[TheBrendadale]

@TheBrendadale What I wanted to say was that horses have all these natural moves, naturally. It takes the trusting bond between horse and rider for the horse to do them, when asked, under saddle! And, yes, some moves are a little unnatural to a horse, but as horse and rider move through the stages, the horse gives more, learns more, trusts more. The rider also gives more, learns more, trusts more. Horse and human, as equals, you can't beat that!

[94gunsmoke]

@TheBrendadale :)



[aliayasmin]

God bless that horse....i'm very sorry....that was the most amazing dressage horsse....

[dogshenry]
