Mark Todd's Beijing Olympic horse Gandalf has died.
The 11-year-old grey has had to be put down because of a serious neurological disorder.
Gandalf has recently suffered seizures which saw him become blind in his right eye and a danger to himself and his handlers.
Todd returned to eventing after an eight year retirement in 2007.
He formed a successful partnership with Gandalf, which ultimately saw them qualify for last year's Olympics where they finished 17th out of 70 competitors.
