"I'm always happy when I can retire a horse that is still sound and fresh" Ehning told World of Showjumping, "Firth of Lorne is turning 16 next year, and for sure he could still have been competing for one or two more years-but he will now focus on his breeding career and will be stationed in France. I'm very happy for the years I have had with him and Im sure he will do very well as a breeding stallion. I wish him the happiest of retirements", Ehning concludes.
