Con Air x Pacino

Nickita, owned by Klee Hellerman Kraut of Trefoil Farm, is a 2017 Irish Sport Horse gelding (Con Air x Pacino) from the world-renowned Ballypatrick facility. The only son of superstar five-star mare BP Wakita, Nickita's impressive bloodlines and natural talent have been obvious even as a young horse. As he continues to progress, it looks like his bravery, heart, and huge scope will take him all the way to the top. Outside of the ring, Nickita has an incredibly sweet personality, an enthusiasm for snacks, and is extremely charming.
