Equine Obituary – Pusher's Redemption
Thursday, May 29, 2025

It is with heartfelt sympathy that we announce the passing of, Pusher’s Redemption, who passed away peacefully on Monday, May 26th beneath the shade of a tree. He was 29 years old.
Pusher’s Redemption held a distinguished pedigree, tracing back to seven champions including the legendary Midnight Sun and Merry Go Boy. He was among the final foal crop sired by The Pusher, making him a treasured representation of some of the breed’s most celebrated bloodlines.
Throughout his career, Redemption earned numerous blue ribbons and high point awards across Georgia. He was purchased at the age of 17 by Andrea Claborn and continued to dominate the show ring for seven seasons, retiring from competition at age 24. His record speaks to the enduring strength, elegance, and heart of the Tennessee Walking Horse.
Redemption was known not only for his talent and showmanship, but also for the deep bond he shared with those who cared for and believed in him. He brought pride and joy to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He was a true champion in and out of the ring, and his memory will remain a cherished part of the Walking Horse community.
