The Horse & Hound released an article today detailing the retirement of Mary King’s partner Apache Sauce, owned by Gillian Jones. The 16-year-old gelding has completed 10 four-star events clear on cross-country in his career. In the article, Mary stated that Apache Sauce was starting to feel a little hesitant at drop fences and galloping downhill; he had a stop at a drop into water at Houghton International Horse Trials last weekend. He will retire sound and happy from upper level competition, and will perhaps team up with Mary’s daughter Emily to run at the junior level.
