Zeno
is an elegant long legged stallion with excellent conformation. His movement is
extremely impressive with a ton of suspension and reach. He has a very supple,
over-reaching walk, his trot has a lot of freedom from the shoulder and great
push from behind and his canter is rhythmical with a lot of lift in the front
end. Zeno’s free jumping ability is equally impressive with his knees to his
chin with a lot of suppleness in the air and he finishes his jump very well from
behind.
Zeno continued to focus on the young horse classes in both the dressage and
jumper rings in 2009. He did only a couple of shows and yet was already
placing consistently in the 1.1m division as well as placing 4th at the Western
Canadian finals for 5 year old jumpers. He also did only two dressage
shows and yet scored as high as 76% in his FEI 5 year old test. He also
participated in the CWB SPT and although came into it late as he was at the
Western Canadian jumper finals he still became reserve champion!
Zeno
has been a pleasure to work with right from the start, he is always
trying to please. In 2008 he competed with clear rounds up
to 1.0m jumpers. Zeno did very well at Edmonton Northlands in the four
year old classes receiving an 84% and a 90% for his two rounds. He also
competed in the young horse dressage classes at the Provincial's winning both of
the Material classes.
Zeno
attended the Canadian Warmblood and Sport Horse inspections in
2007. He received a 76.6% from CWB and an 81% from CSH both
inspection teams gave him 8's and 9's for his movement and free
jumping including a 9 for his gallop and 8.5 for his free jump! We are very excited to see what the future holds for this lovely young stallion.
His Sire: Quattro B
goes back to two of the greatest Selle Francais stallions of all
time Galoubet and H Alme Z. He was successfully competed at the
Grand Prix level of Show Jumping and now is doing upper level
Dressage. His offspring show his spectacular gaits but they also
inherit Quattro’s beautiful type and jumping ability. He has
offspring successful in both Grand Prix jumping and Dressage
including Much Ado, Quantum Tyme and Quicksilber. In 2004 Quattro
had two offspring selected for the Olympics in Athens: Quando Quando
for dressage and Oliver Q for jumping. Quattro has proven to be a
true all around producer of the highest level.
His Dam:
Odessa has already produced two stallion offspring who have been selected for
the 70 day test. This coupled with her own sport achievements has
earning her Keur Preferent Predikaat. Her sire Burggraaf has
produced countless approved stallions and international level horses
including S’blief ridden by Leslie Burr-Howard in show jumping and
Louisville for Grand Prix Dressage. Her dam Kartouche jumped at
national level and produced both national level show jumpers as well
as approved stallions. Odessa comes from a strong mother line of top
producing, good minded, athletic performance horses.
Zeno's first foals have
arrived he is improving the top-line, making the back and hind end
connection stronger as well as adding suspension to the gaits.
They all have their fathers great shoulder and big powerful hind end
with very good legs. And from all accounts have their fathers
wonderful temperament and kind demeanour.
