New Zealand eventer Tim Price has announced that Wesko has been retired from top-level competition.
One of Price’s best horses, the Dutch-bred Luhmühlen champion was being prepared for the delayed Tokyo Olympics but sustained a minor injury during his early-season preparations.
Wesko (by Karandasj) has had a glittering career partnered with Price, amassing 1356 British Eventing points and six international wins, including the CCI5 at Luhmuhlen 2014. In his first British Eventing season in 2011 he recorded his first international win at Brand Hall. From there on there were wins at Blair Castle CCI4 L (2013), Tattersalls CCI4 L (2014), Arville ERM CCI4 S (2019) and Lignieres CCI3 L (2019), in addition to two CCI5 third-place finishes at Les Etoiles de Pau (2015 and 2020).
Tim Price’s CCI5 winner Wesko has retired from top level competition.
The 18-year-old, owned by the Windrush Equestrian Foundation, sustained a minor injury during early season work in preparation for the postponed Tokyo Olympics.
“It was going to be a bit of a push for an eighteen-year-old to make the final four at the Olympics later this year and sadly it just wasn’t meant to be,” said Tim.
“We have had so much fun together, so I have a lot to be thankful for. Above all he’s my mate and that isn’t about to change.”
“Dash”, who will remain with the New Zealand rider in retirement, scored six international wins, including Tim’s first five-star victory at Luhmühlen 2014, and amassed 1,356 British Eventing points.
