British show jumper Ben Maher, along with owner Jane Clark, have announced that Urico will be retired following an injury he sustained at the CSIO5* Nations Cup in La Baule, France.

The 13-year-old gelding underwent surgery on May 18th to repair a severe stress fracture to his right front pastern bone. He is recovering well, and will travel to England to recuperate at Maher’s stable. When is fully healed, Urico will head to Wellington, Florida, where he will live out his days at Clark’s farm.
