WORLD champion Killossery Kaiden, the six-year-old gold medal winner at Lanaken, is to be sold at the Goresbridge Supreme Sale of Showjumpers on November 14th-15th.

The Irish Sport Horse mount produced the only double clear of the six-year-old final for his owners John Kearney and Hugh Martin of KM Sport Horses under rider Ger O’Neill.

“We’ve had a lot of interest in him from all over the world,” said O’Neill, speaking on behalf of KM Sport Horses. “I would not be surprised if he is sold to America.”

“He is a very straightforward horse, a fighter who wants to jump clear for you,” he continued.

“He showed that in Lanaken when he jumped the only double clear in the final out of 265 horses in the competition – he really wanted to jump clear.”

The gelding by is by Lux Z (HANN) out of Killossery Kruisette (ISH), by Cruising (ISH). Killossery Kruisette competed up to Nations Cup level with former Irish Army Equitation School rider Capt. David O’Brien and has produced several promising young horses for breeders Laura and Frank Glynn.

Killossery Kaiden won the 2016 six-year-old Irish Sport Horse Studbook Showjumping Series, competed in the six-year-old Cruising Championship at Dublin and jumped clear for a top 10 place in the final of the Irish Breeders Classic Championship last month.

While O’Neill would not be drawn on what price the gelding might fetch, similarities might be drawn from the sale of Arraghbeg Clover, the 2013 five-year-old Lanaken gold medal winner who sold at auction in Germany for €400,000.

The Goresbridge Supreme Sale of Showjumpers will take place at Barnadown on November 14th-15th. Last year’s sale saw the Irish Sport Horse Dougie Douglas set a new Irish record for public auction by selling for €1.4 million at the sale.
