Last week, Darragh Kenny announced the retirement of Go Easy de Muze (Vigo d'Arsouilles x For Pleasure). The 15-year-old gelding was acquired for Kenny in the summer of 2016, after having had great success with Dutch rider Frank Schuttert.
After having been produced by Belgium's Walter Lelie, Go Easy de Muze continued his career with both Frank Schuttert and Jos Lansink. In April 2016, Schuttert and Go Easy de Muze were crowned Dutch Champions and in May that same year they topped the CSI3* Grand Prix in Eindhoven. Shortly after, Go Easy de Muze was sold and Darragh Kenny took over the reins. The new pair had lots of success together, winning the CSIO5* Longines Cup of the City of Barcelona in 2016 as well as recording top-three finishes in the CSI5* Grand Prix classes in Falsterbo and Dinard as well as topping the CSI3* Grand Prix in Montpellier in 2017.
With this photo special, we wish "Elvis" a happy retirement.
