After years at the top of the sport, Brandenburg's Joshua will retire from upper-level competition. It's a decision that Josh's rider, Stephen Bradley, and owner, Mr. William Lowe, came to together. Throughout his career, Josh has stepped up to every challenge presented to him. In his three appearances at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event (2006, 2008 and 2009), Josh placed 3rd, 4th and 10th, respectively. Stephen and Josh were also on the Gold Medal winning team at the 2003 Pan-American Games. Josh's newest venture will be skipping around lower-level events with Charlotte Harris, owner of From and In The Fog.

From Stephen: "As riders we're responsible for every aspect of our horse's care and well-being. While Josh has been one of my favorite competition partners of my career, I felt I owed it to him to retire him while he was still sound, happy and ready to keep working. Joshua is the most polite horse that I've ever ridden. He's a true gentleman, and it will be nice to see him out and about with Charlotte."
