El caballo retrato de Breyer, Sapphire, ha sido galardonado póstumamente con uno de los honores más prestigiosos del salto: un lugar en el Salón de la Fama del Salto.

Nacida en 1995, esta yegua castaña belga Wamrblood cautivó a los jueces y al público junto con su jinete de toda la vida, McClain Ward. Quizás sea mejor conocida por su medalla de oro olímpica para el equipo de EE. UU. en 2004 y 2008 con Ward a bordo.

Alongside their Olympic wins, Sapphire and Ward earned plenty of incredible accolades at other highly-prestigious events, including the World Equestrian Games, the FEI World Cup Finals, and the CN International Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows. She was also named the 2007 AGA Horse of the Year and the 2009 USEF Show Jumping Horse of the Year.

Sapphire was officially retired at the 2012 Devon Horse Show with throngs of fans in attendance, and lived out her retirement at Ward's Castle Hill Farm until her passing at the age of 19.

With a list of achievements as long as Sapphire's, it's no wonder this mare has been awarded a Show Jumping Hall of Fame spot. Breyer extends its congratulations to all of Sapphire's connections!
