**BORTTAGEN**
En av världens mest kända distanshästar närmar sig ”det evigt gröna ängarna”- se info nedan.
Rio blev Sverige kändis 1990 då han vann VM i distansritt i Stockholm med god marginal.
Att han sedan tävlade för Sverige och har gett oss den bästa placeringen någonsin i ett VM, då med Eva Rubin i sadeln har fallit lite i glömska. En femte plats vid VM i Kansas 1996 samt Best Condition fick ekipaget.
Hälsningar

Rio, one of the greatest endurance horses ever, has been diagnosed with with terminal cancer. Becky Hart, friend and partner of this great athlete has stated that "the vets at
Davis think he has about two weeks."
Becky is planning to have a "Tribute to Rio" at her ranch, in California, USA, on Sunday,
January, 18, 2004 around 1:00 pm.
"We are going to tell funny, inspiring, or any other kind of story about Rio while he is here to hear them.
"If anyone has a story they would like to share it would be greatly appreciated, and we
would read it at the tribute (if they don't mind). Otherwise, if you like, take a moment on
Sunday at 1:00 to remember Rio."

I for one will be greatly saddened with the passing of this magnificent horse and take a
moment on Sunday to remember him.
Sincerely, Monika Smith
