Ava was not just an extraordinary mare but a true legend in the world of equestrian sports. Her career was marked by triumphs and accolades at both national and international levels.
Ava was a three-time Italian champion, demonstrating exceptional talent and determination. But her successes did not stop at national borders: she competed in 18 three-star international events and 7 four-star competitions, tackling the world’s most challenging and prestigious courses with courage and skill.
Ava also represented sporting excellence on the grandest international stages, participating in two Olympic Games and two European Championships, competing against the world’s best riders and horses.
Not only that: she took part in three editions of the Badminton International, one of the most demanding and respected equestrian competitions in the world. She also competed in the Burghley International and the Pau International, two top-tier events requiring strength, endurance, and extraordinary talent.
A Sudden Farewell and the Choice of Genetic Recovery
Ava’s career tragically ended in 2010 when a sudden accident took this extraordinary champion away at the age of 18. Her passing left a huge void not only in the hearts of her owners but also in the equestrian world.
Faced with such a great loss, Genetic Recovery offered hope: the possibility of preserving her unique genetic heritage and continuing her bloodline, ensuring the survival of her exceptional traits.
Thanks to this advanced technology, Ava’s oocytes were retrieved and fertilized in vitro, allowing the birth of new foals carrying her genetic legacy. This way, her extraordinary qualities – strength, endurance, intelligence, and competitive spirit – can live on in future generations.
