Ecuador

Canadian Olympian Lindsay Kellock has sold her Grand Prix ride Tu Le Merite to fellow Canadian born Alexandra Reid, who now rides for Ecuador.

The 14-year old Hanoverian bred Tu Le Merite is by Totilas out of Sayale (by Sarkozy x Royal Dance). He is bred by Schockemöhle and was owned by Lisa Apa.

From Germany Across the Atlantic

He was first competed in Germany in 2016 by Carolin Brandt in two riding horse tests.

Tu Le Merite came into the spotlight at the 2018 Horses and Dreams Online Auction at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen, where Brazilian Tania Loeb Wald bought him for 130,500 euro.

It was originally announced that the horse would move in training with Adrienne Lyle, but Lindsay Kellock ended up producing him for Apa.

Kellock debuted the gelding in Wellington at national level at the 2021 Global Dressage Festival. She rode him in four small tour classes with upper sixty percentage results. In 2022 the horse did two test of choice classes at HITS in July.

In 2023 Ashley Holzer premiered "Tule" at intermediaire II level in Wellington and rode him in four tests in total at the GDF. In June 2023 Kellock gave birth to her first child.

Lindsay was back on board in 2024 and the pair made its international show debut at Grand Prix level in Wellington at the end of March 2024. They were excused from the test. Two weeks later in Ocala they posted 64,130% and a month later they gained more mileage in Myakka City, followed by Ocala.

Kellock continued with Tule but on national level in 2025 with just three starts in Wellington. She delivered her second baby in October 2025.

Tu Le Merite has been been sold to Wellington, Florida based Alexandre Reid. The Canadian native is part of Ashley Holzer's circle of students and frieds to which Kellock also belongs.

Reid is married to Ecuadorean team veterinarian Jose Rodrigo Naranjo and the couple lives in Wellington, Florida. Alexandre declared for Ecuador and won team gold at the 2025 Bolivarian Games.

Reid and Tule made their show debut at the Wellington Classic Autumn challenge and scored 65.326 and 62.609% in two Grand Prix tests.

"First show in the books, so much to work on, so much to improve, but wow I'm so excited for the future," Reid stated. "What an absolute privilege it is to ride this incredible horse." Alexandra was coached by Brittany Fraser at the show.
