Keysoe International Ltd has purchased the nine-year-old gelding Emerlon (by Emerald x Toulon). American show jumper Lillie Keenan is handing over the reins of this top talent to British youth rider Keira Stoute.
Keenan developed the gelding over the past two years from the 1.40m level up to the highest five-star level. The duo achieved a victory in the CSI5* Prix Gordon Group in Dinard, among other achievements, and collected top placings at prominent shows such as Spruce Meadows, 's-Hertogenbosch, and Wellington. In his younger years, the gelding was competed by German riders Laura Klaphake and Pia-Louise Baur.
"I am incredibly proud of how I brought this horse along since he was seven," Keenan shared. The Stoute family is equally enthusiastic about the new addition. "Emerlon is an exceptional horse with endless talent and a very sweet character," says Keira Stoute.
