Sven Rothenberger's debut Grand Prix horse, Andiamo, passed away at age 24 at his farm Gestut Ehrlenhof in Germany. The black gelding was Rothenberger's winning 1990 World Cup Final mount.
Born in 1977, Andiamo was bred by Christian Andersen from Viborg, Germany. Sired by the Danish stud May Sherif, he was out of Jytte (by Caruso). German rider Otto Hofer trained Andiamo until 1989 when Rothenberger took over the reins. The combination was extremely successful in the World Cup qualifying competitions.
Their extensive list of achievements included victories at the CDI's op Neumunster, Frankfurst, Stuttgart, 's Hertogenbosch and Mondorf les Bains. Andiamo was 24 year old.
