Kismet Farms Competition Horses
KILLIAN O'CONNOR - "CONNOR"
Grey Irish/Selle Francais sport horse, 11 years old, 17.0 hands. Connor came over to us from England as a three year old, a venture between friends Leslie Law, Niki Caine and Tracy Bowman. He actually arrived at the event at Oakridge direct from quarantine as no one was home who could look after him. It was immediately apparent he had immense talent and a temperament to match.
He started his career with a young rider at the barn but when he came up for sale again Tracy bought him back and so his amazing run up to Advanced CCI4* level began. Connor has earned all the cookies he can eat by becoming a superstar. He loves every phase of eventing, but is best at dressage. He was even the highest placed American horse after the first day of competition at Rolex. He loves people because they have the potential of feeding him and he likes the spotlight that being so handsome creates! Someone noticed he had his ears pricked during his entire cross-country run at Rolex, and it was obvious he was doing the math in his head and figured if all those people had just one carrot each ...

BALLY QUINN - "QUINN"
Chestnut off the track thoroughbred, 6 years old, 16.1 hands, AKA King of the Islands. Quinn's philosophy is "whatever you do in life, have fun doing it!" Words to live by. He came to us from a public trainer friend after a very brief attempt at becoming a race horse. As Quinn gallops only very high and not very out, the only records he would have broken would be that of "how many strides can I put in six furlongs?"
Quinn is a fantastic mover. Even though he has a silly fun-loving temperament, he is always down to business when asked to work. He is on his way to edging out his stablemate Connor as the dressage star. He finds all work easy and interesting, but especially the jumping phases: to Quinn, leaving the ground just makes sense.
