A promising career in equestrian sport has been tragically cut short with the unexpected death of Clementine II, the dressage horse ridden by Finnish national team member Jasmin Sikström. The mare died suddenly on Thursday morning during a routine training session at the Ruskeasuo stables in Helsinki, according to the Finnish Equestrian Federation. Clementine II and Sikström recently achieved a bronze medal at the Finnish Championships, marking a significant accomplishment for the pair. The death was attributed to an acute health issue, with Sikström reporting the horse passed away peacefully within minutes. The Finnish Equestrian Federation released a statement confirming the loss. This sudden passing is a significant blow to the Finnish dressage community and Sikström personally.
