1412 Lot08 - Absolute Indulgence
December 2014 auction
Dark brown gelding 1/8/98 16.2hh
On account of Sally McPherson
This is a very interesting individual - a full-blown competition Grand Prix dressage horse and as such is very rare. He has been owned and trained by Sally McPherson and has spent considerable time in rider classes and hacking around Australian agricultural shows as part of his career. Absolute Indulgence has placed at Sydney Royal in ladies’ show hunter. Absolute Indulgence has been used as a riding class horse on many occasions and carried Sally’s 12yo son to 3rd place in his rider class at Sydney Royal this year. In dressage, Absolute Indulgence was 2013 Large Tour Champion and Horse of the Year for Central Coast Dressage Association. He has won champions at every level and has been incredibly consistent and reliable. Absolute Indulgence is by Ilkay who was not properly utilised by Australian breeders, however, now that he is deceased there a number of Ilkays who have risen to the top and have become Grand Prix horses. One of the things about Ilkay that Australians have not picked up on is that he is by Variant which is the dam line of Valegro who is currently the Olympic gold medalist from London 2012 and the reigning world champion from the WEG earlier this year. Absolute Indulgence has magnificent flying changes, extended trot, piaffe and passage. He is nowhere near his ultimate best so much more is to come. This can be a career-defining moment for the right buyer. Absolute Indulgence is for sale only due to the owner’s ill-health.
