15/∞ gorgeous horses
One of my favourites, Weihaiwej (Westminster x Grannus x Kronprinz xx), 1984-2019 was a striking chestnut Oldenburg mare. Many of the show jumping fans who followed during the late 80s-early 90s might remember her to this day, with the chrome and blue eyes. Together with Franke Sloothaak they won a gold medal at the 1994 FEI World Equestrian Games in The Hague. To this day I still find people wondering: "who was that chestnut horse with the chrome again?". Weihaiwej was retired from sports in the 90s and resumed a broodmare career with 7 offspring and 16 grandchildren. Her daughter Asha Di San Patrignano competed at 1,50m and produced several successful offspring herself, under which an approved stud. Weihaiwej passed away in 2019 at a remarkable age of 35 years old.
