It is with deep sorrow and reverence that we announce the passing of Over Infleeted, a remarkable and decorated show gelding who left an unforgettable legacy in and out of the arena. Fondly known as "Larry" by those who loved him, he was more than just a champion—he was a beloved partner, teacher, and friend to many.
Born in 2014 and sired by Fleet Machine, Over Infleeted was bred by Mark T. Baus of Rubicon, WI. From an early age, it was clear Larry was destined for greatness. He possessed a unique combination of athleticism, heart, and soul that made him stand out in every pen he entered. With each ride, he gave his all—showing grace, precision, and the kind of consistency that every exhibitor dreams of.
In 2024 alone, Larry had a remarkable showing, earning seven APHA and NSBA World Championships and four Reserve World Championships, across an array of youth and open events. His titles included:
- World Champion – NSBA Youth Walk Trot Trail Small Fry
- World Champion – APHA Youth Walk Trot Trail 5-10
- World Champion – NSBA Youth Walk Trot Hunter Under Saddle Small Fry
- World Champion – APHA Youth Walk Trot Western Horsemanship 5-10

- Reserve World Champion – APHA Youth Walk Trot Hunt Seat Equitation 5-10
- Reserve World Champion – Open Intermediate Senior Trail

Larry was adored by his riders and cherished by those who knew him best. His kind eye, steady presence, and unmatched work ethic made him a favorite wherever he went. Whether it was carrying a young rider to their first blue ribbon or navigating a complex trail pattern with finesse, he always gave 110%.
Over Infleeted’s passing is a tremendous loss to the show community, but his legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the joy he brought to the arena. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, owners, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
You will never be forgotten. Run free, sweet boy.
