Farewell to an eventing legend: Nereo retires to standing ovation at Badminton

Andrew Nicholson’s legendary campaigner Nereo has retired from top-level competition at the Mistubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials.

Deborah Sellar’s 18-year-old gelding, who won here last year, has been competing at three-star and above for the past decade.

In that time, he has clocked up wins at Bramham CCI3* in 2009, Aachen CIC3* in 2010, Pau CCI4* in 2012, Barbury CIC3* in 2016 and Badminton 2017.

He also finished second at Burghley three times, in 2016, 2013 and 2011, and helped New Zealand to team bronze at the London 2012 Olympics.
