I hope someone has her embryos frozen somewhere. I adored that mare.[/QUOTE]
No embryo’s…they were giving her time off so they didn’t have to put her through the hormones:no: They were letting her be a regular horse…at least she got to experience that.
This mare’s routine at WEGS made me want to switch from hunter to dressage, this is heartbreaking!
Exactly,Micoursin. Matine’s magnificent performance with that happy expression on her beautiful face will be inspiring breeders and riders for generations to come. We are blessed with her tape which we can visit any time we feel the need to be up lifted and supported as to what is possible in dressage riding and sport horse breeding. While she left no foal,her bloodlines are here to carry on for her. In the mean time, I take comfort that Matine got to know the feel of sun on her back and wind blowing through her mane…running free.
RIP, sweet girl…you were and still are loved very much!!!
Oh no!!! RIP beautiful mare! 
I first saw the you tube video around the time I lost my once in a lifetime horse and it was the only thing that cheered me up.
She really made my heart sing watching her perform at WEG.
I’ve never wanted to do dressage until I saw her perform.
Thank you Matinée for being an inspiration, RIP dear girl! PS I know you are running free with my horse!
This is so sad. She was the one that inspired me to start exploring dressage. At a Christmas party this year I was saying how much I still love to watch her 2006 WEG performance.
Just watch this mare not the first time on ytube again. How wonderful she was.
OMG!!! how TERRIBLE!!! this makes me want to cry. How many wonderful horses does this industry have to lose in such a short time. This mare made my heart flutter when she danced for the world.
I don’t know what it was about Matine but watching her always makes me feel emotional. She was the pinnacle of dressage horses, so much try and heart in her.
I wanted my own mini-Matine so much I bred my best mare to her sire Silvermoon twice in the hopes of getting a little grey filly. But it was not to be. I got two lovely foals but both colts. some things are just not meant to be.
You can still cry if you want to but she died over two years ago. Not sure why this got bumped back up.
Stolensilver, my partner in Denmark is trying to work out a lease for us on a Silvermoon mare. We haven’t totally decided yet what we will do with her breeding wise, but my partner wants to use Don Schufro! I hope we can work it out - I have been out of breeding for a long time and am excited to get back in the game!

Must have been a slow news day :yes:
And no disrespect to Matiné, we loved the mare, even named one of my all time favorite Dobermans after her…
I hope you work the lease out on the Silvermoon mare DownYonder. He is an incredible stallion, vastly underused. I was hoping to stand him in the UK this year and was in negotiations with his owners but sadly they decided to keep him in Germany again doing live cover only. I was so sad when I heard their decision.
