WOW, we think this big beautiful young gelding is one of the nicest sport horse prospects we have listed this season. His handler who showed him to us raved about him, saying he is the sweetest and kindest horse, that he has known him since he was a two-year old, and that he has always been one of his favorites and is a very sound horse who has never had any issues and has no vices. He said that Kid Kreesa is so sweet and kind that he could be a kid’s horse, with proper retraining.  But we think he can also excel in the show hunter or jumper ring, or in eventing. We admired his uphill build, dappled shiny coat, kind, intelligent and alert eye. He has a classy presence about him. Kid Kreesa was a perfect gentleman for his photo session and jog video, posing like a model on a chilly blustery morning that had many other horses fidgeting and prancing and needing lip chains. He jogged politely and displayed very good movement, even, balanced, and with good hind end engagement and nice reach from the shoulder.  Kid Kreesa has done most of his racing on the turf, and has won and been competitive in state bred allowance level races at Saratoga and Belmont — this shows that he is a classy horse. But after breaking his maiden this year, and having to race against winner this season, he has not fared as well. The turf racing season is over in NY until next spring, and his trainer realizes that there will not be many state bred distance turf races offered that he can be competitive in next year, so it is best to let him move on to a new career while he is still a sound and happy horse. Research has demonstrated that horses who have run well on the turf, and with turf oriented pedigrees, make the best eventers in their off the track careers — and we can see Kid Kreesa adding to that documented record of success! He has an excellent pedigree for sport. He is sired by Big Brown, who is from the Danzig sire line, and who has several offspring doing well in eventing, dressage, and hunter/jumper careers.  His dam Lady Kreesa is sired by Stonesider, a son of Giant’s Causeway. We have placed several Stonesdier offspring into successful eventing and show hunter careers, and they have proved to be lovely movers and very good jumpers. Based on his pedigree, build, and movement we think that Kid Kreesa should be a very good jumper who could excel at eventing, and he has the movement and demeanor and looks to stand out in the hunter ring.
