Vautour has died

Terrible news about the loss of the talented steeplechaser Vautour. I don’t know if there’s many jumps fan overseas but thought I’d share- this was a very talented horse and it’s a sad loss.

how sad, and just out enjoying his paddock time.

:cry:

He was one of the most beautiful jumpers I have ever seen, jumped like the proverbial stag. Just gorgeous to watch gallop and jump. I think I posted a video of one of his races on the Eventing forum once, as there was a bit of discussion about his sire Robin Des Champs.

Here he is winning the Ryan Air Chase at Cheltenham… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o1NZqRWYHo

He was just stunning…:cry:

I’m gutted about this. He was so talented.
