Kassidy Keith (CAN) doesn’t always win in the Grand Prix ring at Thunderbird Show Park, but when she does, it’s often with Havana.

The veteran pair started their 2024 season at tbird’s April Season Opener the same way they ended it the year prior—with a victory. In September 2023, Keith and her speedy bay capped their U25 career with a pair of wins at tbird’s Harvest Celebration. This week, they’re back at tbird and back atop the podium as winners of the week’s feature event, the $10,000 Maui Jim 1.40m Grand Prix.

“Havana and I normally take a break [over the winter],” said Keith, who runs Keepsake Farm in Langley, BC with her mother Cheryl Keith. “I went to California at the start of February and ended up doing the four star the last week. I haven’t really jumped [Havana] since we got home.”
