Cherry Knoll Farm's Cedric has been inducted into Kentucky Horse Park's Showjumping Hall of fame.
The Hall of Fame was established in 1987 and formally opened in 1989 to recognise legends of the men, women and horses who have made great contributions to the sport.
Cedric, who amassed over $2 million in prize money, helped Laura and the U.S. win a team gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong.
His partnership with Laura lasted more than 11 years, producing 81 clear and 45 double-clear rounds in major competitions of $100,000 or more.
Cedric is now enjoying retirement with his old U.S team mate, Lauren Hough's Quick Study.
Laura told Chronicle of the Horse:
“Cedric has been the horse of a lifetime for me. He has been incredible, and I’ve learned not to give up and to persevere. It took a long time as he was a little bit slower to develop than your normal grand prix horse. He’s been amazing, and I think I’ll never have another horse like him.”
