British rider Tim Wilks has a new talent in his stable; the 8-year-old gelding Elmo (Verdi x Padinus). 

Elmo has been purchased by IN Showjumpers from Gillian Millner, who bought him as a 4-year-old. The gelding has until now been competed by British rider Chris Smith up to 1.40m level, and Smith recently qualified Elmo for The Horse of the Year Show 2017. 

"I'm very excited about the newest arrival in my stables. In my opinion, he has all the ability and potential to make it to the top of the sport. Elmo is definitely a horse to keep an eye on," states Wilks on his website.
