La asociaci\u00f3n de McLain Ward, su jinete, con \u201cHH Azur\u201d comenz\u00f3 en 2015. La asociaci\u00f3n de McLain con la yegua de 9 a\u00f1os floreci\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente con varias victorias ese primer a\u00f1o, incluida la Copa de la Reina Isabel II en Spruce Meadows.<\/p>\n
Solo un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s, \u201cAzur\u201d, cari\u00f1osamente conocida como \u00abAnnie\u00bb, y McLain ayudaron al equipo de EE. UU. a ganar la Medalla de Plata en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de R\u00edo 2016. Al a\u00f1o siguiente, \u201cAnnie\u201d llev\u00f3 a McLain a una de sus mayores victorias, el campeonato del Mundo Longines FEI. M\u00e1s tarde ese mismo a\u00f1o, \u201cAnnie\u201d y McLain ayudaron a los Estados Unidos a ganar la medalla de plata en la final de la Copa de Naciones FEI en Barcelona. Estos m\u00e9ritos llevaron a que \u201cAnnie\u201d fuera nombrada el Caballo del A\u00f1o de la USEF 2017 y Caballo de Salto del A\u00f1o por el Chronicle of the Horse.<\/p>\n
Durante los siguientes a\u00f1os, McLain fue selectivo sobre cu\u00e1ndo y d\u00f3nde concursar a \u201cAnnie\u201d, siempre poniendo sus mejores intereses en primer lugar. En 2022, \u201cHH Azur\u201d volvi\u00f3 a los titulares, comenzando con una victoria en el Gran Premio 4* en el Festival Ecuestre de Invierno en Wellington, y luego a\u00f1adiendo otra victoria 4* en el Gran Premio Empire State en Old Salem y una victoria de 5* en Spruce Meadows. El oto\u00f1o pasado, ella y McLain ganaron el Gran Premio de Ginebra 5* y el pasado mes de marzo, a\u00f1adieron otra victoria de 5* en ‘s-Hertogenbosch en los Pa\u00edses Bajos.<\/p>\n
A lo largo de su carrera deportiva, \u201cAnnie\u201d gan\u00f3 25 Grandes Premios FEI, incluyendo victorias de 5* en el Festival Ecuestre de Invierno en Wellington, el Royal en Toronto, Spruce Medows, Roma, Ginebra y ‘s-Hertogenbosch, adem\u00e1s de victorias de 4* en Devon, Old Salem y el Hampton Classic.<\/p>\n
A pesar de que se ha retirado de las competiciones, \u201cAnnie\u201d seguir\u00e1 siendo un miembro importante de la familia de McLain y de la comunidad ecuestre en general. Su legado como uno de los grandes caballos de salto vivir\u00e1 para siempre en la historia de este deporte.<\/p>\n
