Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 15, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Kevin Staut! You've gracefully jumped over more hurdles than most of us have climbed stairs. Ever since your Olympic debut at the 2012 London Games, you've been soaring higher and faster—making gravity look optional and style mandatory.

From thrilling victories in prestigious competitions to inspiring countless equestrian enthusiasts worldwide, you continue to amaze us with every leap. May this birthday bring fewer rails down and plenty of cake up; after all those jumps, you've certainly earned it! Here's wishing you another year filled with clear rounds, joyful rides—and perhaps a horse that appreciates your jokes too.
