At fifteen, Sydney Une Prince is finally done with sport. The mare was injured in 2020, said Katie Dinan: “After two years of trying to get Sydney back into the ring, we have decided to take her out so that she can enjoy the pasture and hopefully become a mother one day. . I wish we could have spent more time in the ring together. It was an honor to compete with this superstar. We will miss her in the stable, but we are delighted with this collaboration with Haras d’Elle. The Pignolet family and I met when I Athos of Her bought and also because Scherif d’Elle is the father of one of my horses, Nougat from Vallet. I hope that Sydney enjoys her retirement in her home country and that I can visit her and her foals.
