Breyer Sapphire Show Jumping Super-Star
Sapphire, the Belgin Warm-Blood Mare that carried U.S. Equestrian Team rider McLain Ward to two Olympic gold medals, is sure to go down in show jumping history books as one of the greatest grand prix horses ever. In 2009, the pair collected 23 U.S. Equestrian Federation wins (including an unprecedented 5 Grand Prix victories in 21 days), and earnings of more than 1 million dollars. Sapphire also scored a double clear in the Grand Prix of Aachen, Germany, one of the most prestigious events in the world, and prevailed in a thrilling jump-off against 2008 individual Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Lamaze, in the $1 million Grand Prix at the Spruce Meadows Masters in Calgary (Alberta, Canada).
