Rebroff 6, a 12-year-old Rhinelander gelding, passed away in his stall on Jan. 30th, a day after winning the FEI Grand Prix CDI3* for Freestyle with his rider Frederic Wandres (GER) at the AGDF in Wellington, Florida. The suspected cause was a cardiac event.

It was the first competition together for the 33-year-old Wandres and the German-bred gelding (Robespierrot x Nimfa, Oula Owl), and the first time Wandres had competed in the United States.

A statement released by the organizers on Saturday, January 30th reads:
