Heartfelt condolences to Canadian
Olympian Leslie Reid and her mother Edith
Thomson on the passing of their horse,
Sea Fox. Sea Fox, a Dutch Warmblood
stallion sired by Roemer, was born in the
Netherlands in 1982 and imported by
Leslie as her dressage partner in 1986.
Sea Fox easily moved up the ranks,
usually scoring top marks in each outing.
In 1995, the pair made their debut at the
international grand prix level, earning
many top 10 fnishes at prestigious CDI
competitions in Frankfurt, Stuttgart and
Donaueschingen.
Leslie and Sea Fox competed at Grand
Prix until he was 17 year of age. For the
next few years, Sea Fox taught Reid’s
young rider students the ropes of upper
level dressage until he was offcially retired
at the age of 20. Sea Fox’s well-earned
retirement consisted of relaxing in his feld
until he was almost 30 years old.
