After an illustrious career that included three victories at the Rolex Kentucky CCI****, a team gold medal at the 2002 World Equestrian Games, team bronze and individual silver medals at the 2004 Olympics, and countless other victories, Winsome Adante’s owner, vets, and rider have collectively made the difficult decision to retire him due to soundness issues in a hind leg.

Owned by Linda Wachtmeister of Plain Dealing Farm and ridden by Kim Severson, "Dan" has a nearly flawless record. Incredibly consistent in all three phases, Dan and Severson won the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** every time they contested it. Victories in 2002, 2004, and 2005 proved that Dan was invincible at the Lexington, Ky., event. He was also the U.S. Eventing Association’s Horse of the Year following each of these victories
