TRIBUTES were paid to Sandra Blake Farrell’s veteran dressage horse Saint Emilion (1995-2021) who passed away last weekend. A true ambassador for dressage in Ireland, Sandra described him as her ‘horse of a lifetime’ and an ‘exceptional horse I had the pleasure to have in my life for over 15 years’.

Loved and treasured by many he will always be remembered for how much he gave in his dressage career. “We had the most incredible journey together dancing our way up the levels to reach Grand Prix and remain there for many years,” recalled Sandra in her Facebook tribute.
