Please do not auction off Team GB Gold-medal-winning horse Uthopia. Instead let him retire in peace with Carl Hester
Why is this important?
The dressage horse Uthopia is a massive part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics, where he helped Team GB win team gold in the dressage. However, he is due to be auctioned off as part of a bankruptcy asset sale by trustees Keenan Corporate Finance and HNH Group on 27th May 2016.
Please don't let this happen. Uthopia deserves to retire in peace with his rider Carl Hester, who has cared for him for the last 11 years. Uthopia's welfare is also at stake, in that he has healthcare needs that are unlikely to be met if he is sold in this manner.
