She was injured just before a World Cup competition in Las Vegas, 2007. After that they tried, unsuccesfully, to return her to the sport, and in the end it led to her retirement and instead plans of bringing her in-foal.
Sadly, she broke her front leg in the paddock, 25th of January, 2010, and had to be put down, before any of the plans had been brought out.

@twistedminds14 Thanks for saying that. Gorgeous horses dancing - I love it, but at what cost? Fortunately there a more remarkable training approach. People such as Alexander Nevzorov who refuses to use any bit or bridle in training horses, achieve results that are inspirational. For anyone interested in dressage, equine dance, etc., please have a look at a more humane path for working with horses. here /watch?v=OCKulHCIGK4 I'm not connected to the DVD, but watched it many times.
@twistedminds14 This performance was spectacular! I think because Blu looks like she is enjoying it so much. I hope that she was but I have to wonder because of that training method. I appreciate so much that you are finding these videos and sharing them with me.
@horsefeathersgirl100 about this time last year i think, she broke or fractured her leg (i don't know the exact details) whilst out in the field and was put down. they were very quiet and didn't much more details than that (or maybe i couldn't find them) but i remember there was a lot of talk about whether she was in foal or not. if she was, thats such a sad loss of a wonderful mare and foal :(
She raised the bar for dressage. What a Queen! Thank you for posting this video for those of us who missed the priviledge of seeing her give a live performance. She gave her all.
@monilugano You are a moron and an idiot! WTF do you mean "It does not feel well?" What doesn't feel well? Your brain? Matinee wasn't a he, she was a SHE and what the hell do you know about dressage???? What's wrong with her tail? What is wrong with her posture?? What is wrong with YOU???? Perhaps you are just a jealous, beaten competitor!!!!! ;)P

@GabsForev Was you told not to watch if you donot understand?Strange.Cause how would you learn ?,If you donot watch or even ask?Sorry if you got on anothers nerves.Take a chill pill.Or something.
This is the horse that really changed it all- her expression in the ring made her stand out from the rest, and she was the best! Even a non-horseperson would think she was really dancing! I couldn't think of a better song to show her off with!
Wow, I didn't realize she was put down until now. After reading the comments here I researched it. I am so sad...she was so young! But man what a gifted horse..although I am not a horse owner myself..I have great appreciation for such talent. *sigh* RIP Sweet girl..
Great horse for her being so young. She definitely has tons and tons of ability yet her transitions are a bit choppy. Once she gets into the swing of the gait though she is breath taking. It is truly a shame that she died. This horse revolutionized how people thought about freestyle dressage.
totally amazing, i could watch Matine 'dancing' all day, her and Andreas must have had such a strong bond, you can see the mutual love and respect on both their faces.

Watching their 2006 dance is something I do every so often just to make me smile! It saddens me to hear she broke her leg and had to be put down. How awful, but what a great joy to have her video available to watch over and over. She truly danced!
my heart goes out to this amazing mare. she gives me goosebumps every time i see her perform. may we only be so lucky to meet this beauty in heaven....
wooooow!!!!! que caballo mas impresionante la verdad me gusto mucho, ojala y lo pudieramos ver un dia en guatemala, felicitaciones Andreas Helgstrand¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
One of the most Magnificent, Magestic horses ever seen....she will be sadly missed.....I remember seeing her dance in 2006...she didnt skip a beat and I have watched that video times without number,
Rest in peace Mary I can see you know dancing in Horse Heaven
breeding isnt every thing its the spirit and the heart of the horse. look at the horse seabiscuit he came from good lines not the most amazing in the world. he was small and beatin. but with the right ppl time and TRAINING he became great!
sry but agree with LinkandZeldalover. u dont no much at all.
ow blue horse matine come back and dance dance dance please dance! you were amazing and its a big loss for the world wide dressage that you're not around anymore! I hope your baby's will just as good as you....
Wow, what a wonderful horse. I wonder who trained that horse. I wish myy horse would do that lol he will move pretty and trot side ways and canter side ways and all that but to get the horse to...trot like that? goodl ord thats an amazing horse.
Even if the horse has a magnifigent pedigree, its not going to pop out knowing all of that. The horse i am typing of was a world cahmpion in 91 and 93. his sire was sunny dee bar. The best Quarter Horse to ever exist.
He is not fucking inbred, you know nothing about my horse or that horse. the horse is dead, not mine sunny dee bar. Exsplain this to me: How the hell is the hrose gonna come out knowing how to do that???? huh? it takes training. i was talking about how much training had to go into the mare in this video. It had to have A LOT of training. it DOES NOT matter if it has a good pedigree or not. Good conformation may count. but a horse can be inbred with a bad pedigree
and good conformation and tunr out to be just like the mare above. And your tryin to tell me my horse is inbred? nuh uh, you said it yourself. you know nothing about QH's.
it wouldnt let me have any more characters. sorry.
to me ive always liked the tall dressage horses ...most ive seen are short...not thats a bad cuz i ride a short barrel horse but thats for speed..i like tall horseys that have motion
Rolkur is horrible.... there are cruel aspects to all the horse sports though.. for example "Gingering" in horse shows to try and make the horse look lively and raise its tail.... or the over-exaggerated lope in western, that can actually be very bad for a horses joints over time... sad but it happens :(
if you go to the facebook group 'blue tongue world cup' - there is a link to the petition to the FEI asking that Rollkur be banned at all Competition venues. Or go to ipetition com and do a search for Rollkur you should find it.
It's a little funny to think of just how many of those steps were actually designed for war, like when she sort of walks in the spot was probably meant to trample a fallen enemy into the ground. A little gruesome, but most likely true...
I think Matine is truely the best example of the FEI's 'happy athlete' policy. She puts all of herself into her work for Andreas, it's beautiful to watch!
What a gorgeous mare; I'd take her in half a heartbeat! About all I can fault her for is she could have been more relaxed at times. Given the lights, the clapping, etc., I can overlook most of that! I wonder how one trains a horse to tolerate a spot light short of, erm, having a spotlight. I think my mare would have gone through the ceiling in that setting!
I know a lot of people wouldn't know a bad dressage ride if they saw it but Andreas & Matiné are magnificent. I think what I enjoyed the most is that you can see Matiné is really enjoying herself with Andreas in the ring. They are a pair!
Yeah, me too & back a few years ago we had Our Arabian Mare she could do these steps but not as good as BHM:) Can anyone tell me what's happen too her I've heard different things that they are breeding her now & that she's been lamed? tks. dj
This comment just for the audiance-This horse looks like a Star, she is great, she seems to enjoy the act. Now - with this rider it's quite normal. Andreas is one of the best, and I believe, a very good dancer (I can't proof that, I am male and dont dance with males .. hihi). Now, the point, I have seen other vids of Andreas and feel that he is preparing this horse for much more. It must be a challange if you consider the huge body of here. I would like to know Andreas`s opinion about this.
HER normal trot (this horse is a mare). She has a fantastic extended trot - I have seen her move out (Just watch her performance at the World Equestrian Games 2006). I personally LOVE every step this mare takes, and am wholeheartedly miserable that she is retired now.
I find it very sad indeed to read negative comments about this outsdanding horse, her performances are nothing short of brilliance, and its the lack of equine knowledge that make people say un-neccessary remarks about Matine.
I totally agree with you, Lynx. When the comments come from people who have actually achieved the same level of success with their horses that this horse has achieved then maybe I'll give some credibility to their posts. Otherwise it's just nonsense.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey guys, open your eyes for just one second...everytime I watch this horse I only see it rotate it's tail and shake it's head up and down, there's no suppleness in the passage, in trot theres is no relaxedness in her back's muscles and she's much to inactive in her hind quarters... sorry, but that has nothing to do with real good riding...
The best mare!

She got injured. I don't remember it exactly though. She is a broodmare now.

It's a little funny to think of just how many of those steps were actually designed for war, like when she sort of walks in the spot was probably meant to trample a fallen enemy into the ground. A little gruesome, but most likely true...

Are you sure you know how hard that is? There are very few horse-trainers around the world who can do that!

I think Matine is truely the best example of the FEI's 'happy athlete' policy. She puts all of herself into her work for Andreas, it's beautiful to watch!

What a gorgeous mare; I'd take her in half a heartbeat! About all I can fault her for is she could have been more relaxed at times. Given the lights, the clapping, etc., I can overlook most of that! I wonder how one trains a horse to tolerate a spot light short of, erm, having a spotlight. I think my mare would have gone through the ceiling in that setting!

Your fault is that she could have been more relaxed?? Your too funny eguidae!

I know a lot of people wouldn't know a bad dressage ride if they saw it but Andreas & Matiné are magnificent. I think what I enjoyed the most is that you can see Matiné is really enjoying herself with Andreas in the ring. They are a pair!

This comment just for the audiance-This horse looks like a Star, she is great, she seems to enjoy the act. Now - with this rider it's quite normal. Andreas is one of the best, and I believe, a very good dancer (I can't proof that, I am male and dont dance with males .. hihi). Now, the point, I have seen other vids of Andreas and feel that he is preparing this horse for much more. It must be a challange if you consider the huge body of here. I would like to know Andreas`s opinion about this.

I have to comment that this horses extended trot he never gains any more speed then his normal trot. now there is a horse that can extend a real trot
livingequine 2 years ago
HER normal trot (this horse is a mare). She has a fantastic extended trot - I have seen her move out (Just watch her performance at the World Equestrian Games 2006). I personally LOVE every step this mare takes, and am wholeheartedly miserable that she is retired now.

WOW! I can only dream of riding this well and having a horse who seems to enjoy this as much as this horse does.

I find it very sad indeed to read negative comments about this outsdanding horse, her performances are nothing short of brilliance, and its the lack of equine knowledge that make people say un-neccessary remarks about Matine.

I totally agree with you, Lynx. When the comments come from people who have actually achieved the same level of success with their horses that this horse has achieved then maybe I'll give some credibility to their posts. Otherwise it's just nonsense.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
hey guys, open your eyes for just one second...everytime I watch this horse I only see it rotate it's tail and shake it's head up and down, there's no suppleness in the passage, in trot theres is no relaxedness in her back's muscles and she's much to inactive in her hind quarters... sorry, but that has nothing to do with real good riding...
