King Kai is Australia's answer to the most handsome horse in the world but he's no one-trick pony, as well as proving to be a champion stallion he's earning a reputation as a superior dressage performer.
Kai is owned by Monique Thornley in Deloraine in Tasmania's central north. She admits to searching the world for almost a year in 2012 for 'the right specimen'.
'We looked at thousands of horses before we found him - I was after a very particular type, he had to be tall and beautiful with the long hair - he was the right horse for the right job,' she said.
'Unbelievably so popular, particularly the kids who just flock to him, and everyone wants a photo beside the big black horse,' Ms Thornley added.
'People just stop us and he loves it, he just stands there and really enjoys the attention.
'He is such a beautiful soul but we have to restrict the appearances because I am determined to achieve dressage success with him.'
And he's well on the way.
