You would not know it by looking at him, but Kemp Road Cavalier turned 22 in 2015. The gorgeous, Ontario-foaled roan gelding knew how to win on the track and now he is winning in the show ring.

The son of the modest stallion Evzone was named the 2014 Reserve Champion in Western Pleasure at the Durham Saddle Club, collecting 21 points to claim the title when the final standings were tallied in November.

That’s not all. ‘Kempy’ has won classes and ribbons in Western and English horsemanship and dressage since he left the racetrack for good six years ago. He is getting geared up for another run at championships this year.
