Kiss is a 6-Year Old 16H chestnut TB gelding who started showing in the A/A's this summer. He is very soft off the ground and he would be best matched with a quiet rider with good body control who just lets him do his job in the air over fences With four tall stockings, a broad blaze and flaxen mane and tail, Kiss is a horse who gets noticed. The pictures of Kiss posted above were taken at Sussex County right before he was moved up to 3'. The rider is 5'-6" with long legs.

What Show Experience Does He Have?

Kiss's first outdoor show was Sussex County, where after warming up only in the schooling area, he went into the show ring, jumped right around with an adult rider and placed 3rd out of field of 20+ horses in the Schooling Hunters, a 2'-6" class. After Sussex, Kiss was moved up to 3' and the A/A's where he has accumulated a number of wins over fences and in the hack at such venues at Old Salem, Gardnertown, Coker Farm, etc.

How High Will He be able to Jump?

Kiss competes and is schooled regularly over 3'. He is schooled at 3'-3" approximately once or twice a month. He has schooled individual fences as high as 3'-9". Kiss has a nice long balanced stride at the canter and he gets down the lines quite easily. He is brave and willing to the jumps and he has jumped everything; gates, walls, roll tops, etc. we have put in front of him.

What Else Can you Tell Me About Him?

Kiss is an athletic horse, but he is not yet a "made" show horse. At this stage in his career, he would be best suited for a professional or an advanced rider who works regularly with a professional. Kiss is easy to keep fit and his gaits are very comfortable. He is a balanced horse, that comes from behind. Kiss is a cute mover, who reaches forward from the shoulder. His lead changes have been automatic since he was three years old.
