The Carrot (@carrotsandbute) sent us a tip that Nina Ligon’s Olympic mount Butts Leon has returned to his prior rider, Andreas Dibowski of Germany. As the translation goes, new owners Holger and Susanne Heigel wanted to bring the horse back to Germany, where he can continue upper level competition and perhaps eventually serve as schoolmaster for Andreas’ daughter Alina.
