Kribensis (horse)

Kribensis (foaled in 1984 in Ireland-died in 2007) was an Irish thoroughbred racehorse, born to sire, Henbit and dam, Aquaria.

The horse was owned by Sheikh Mohammed and trained by Sir Michael Stoute.

Kribensis gave Sheikh Mohammed his first Cheltenham Festival win when he won the Triumph Hurdle in 1988.

[8] As he grew older, Kribensis’ colour changed slightly from grey to white, much like that of Desert Orchid.

After his death, Sir Michael Stoute said of Kribensis: “We had [him] at Freemason Lodge for 22 years so you can imagine how much we will miss him.
