Another open qualification for Silver Omen progeny

Kass at Mt Arrowsmith earlier this year.

Aurora Kassanova (by Silver Omen) is the fourth by his sire to achieve open endurance status, after Aurora Raffeah, A. Naseebah, and Kass's full brother, A. Kool Kat.

Kass, who along with Naseebah is owned by North Canterbury endurance stalwart Chris King, has also been enjoying trekking and stock horse training, and it is planned for them both to take part in the FEI 1* at Marlborough early this month.
