Mountain Firefly, the reigning Cuddy Supreme In-Hand Champion at the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS), has died of a complicated colic at the age of nine.
Jack Cochrane, who inherited the mare after the death of her breeder, the late Ann Vos, in 2005, said: "I'm devastated."
The mare, by Primitive Rising out of Fire Mountain, was also supreme at the 2007 National Hunter Show and her Catherston Dazzler foal, Firebrand, won both his classes.
