Matine was an absolutely amazing horse. I had hoped to see her perform at the World Cup in Las Vegas in 2007. Sadly, she injured herself while she was being unloaded from the trailer and was unable to compete. She never fully recovered and, unfortunately, broke a leg while out in her pasture in January of this year that resulted in her having to be euthanized - a tragic loss to the dressage world and all who knew her.
Those interested in dressage might also want to check out the videos of Totilas on YouTube. He has been getting record breaking scores, but none of his performances move me like that one of Matine at the WEG.
