Celebrating FRH Butts Abraxxas’ career [pics]
Following the retirement of FRH Butts Abraxxas, Ingrid Klimke’s multi medal-winning eventer, H&H looks back through our picture archives at highlights of this special horse’s impressive career.
The partnership competed at 6 championships in a row from 2007 to 2012, winning team gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, as well as the 2011 Europeans. They also finished in the top 10 at 3- or 4-star level 20 times. Happy retirement ‘Braxxi’ from the H&H team.
