In 1982 Switzerland had a pure ladies team: Christine Stückelberger and Granat, Claire Koch and Beau Geste and Doris Ramseier and River King took the team silver. Tragically Claire Koch and Beau Geste who were best Swiss at the Europeans a year later, died shortly after in 1983 when the grey suffered a heart-attack and buried his rider in the indoor arena at home near Berne.
