The 17-year-old mare Catch me if you can OLD (Catoki x dam's sire unknown), who won bronze with the German team at the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon under Laura Klaphake, was officially retired from the sport.
Under Laura Klaphake, the Oldenburg mare was part of the German championship team in 2017 and 2018. At the 2017 European Championships in Gothenburg, the pair finished fifth with the team and 17th individually. This was followed a year later by success at the World Equestrian Games with team bronze and 14th place individually. After the tournament, owner Paul Schockemöhle sold Catch me if you can OLD to Anna Kellnerova in the Czech Republic, but she was unable to repeat her earlier successes with her.
The mare has now been officially retired. According to Oldenburger International, she will enjoy her sporting retirement and provide a few more offspring.
