Okidoki is not among us anymore. This spectacular horse became a legend with his rider Albert Zoer, was sold earlier this year to José Larocca and sustained a tendon injury not long after that. He died as a result of complications after an operation on this injury.

Just to remember this great horse; here are the images we have.

SHOWJUMPING LEGEND OKI DOKI PASSES AWAY

The owner of showjumping horse Oki Doki announces the passing of his much
loved steed.

The bay 14 year old Dutch bred gelding injured a tendon while competing in
Cannes in June this year. The horse subsequently underwent surgery and
recovered well. Oki Doki was on post operative medication, following
standard procedure, but last night developed complications.

He was placed immediately under veterinary monitoring and was then
transported to Bern Clinic by the veterinary team who never left his side.
Despite the best possible veterinary care, tragically Oki Doki died due to
septic shock in the abdomen.

Oki Doki was a celebrity in the showjumping community and loved by people
all over the world, but most of all by his owner and former owner/rider
Albert Zoer, whom have been working together since ownership of the horse
changed.

Oki Doki's family hopes that you respect their privacy during this time of
sorrow.
