Salinero, Anky van Grunsven’s famous horse, has passed away. The 54-year-old Van Grunsven from Erp won dressage gold with Salinero at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Four years later, the combination also won Olympic gold in Hong Kong. “The memories will always remain,” the Amazon writes on Instagram. The photos too.
