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 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 keeps impressing with his great trainability and athleticism and already in 2011 he has had some great results in the ring with a 2nd place in the 1.15m mini prix at Spruce Meadows and then moved up at Brandon and did the 1.30m open welcome where he was 8th.  He was very lightly shown in 2010 due to breeding commitments but was still very consistently placing in the top 10 up to 1.15m jumpers.  He always tries very hard to please in both his day to day training as well as in the jumper ring.  Both top level Dressage riders and Jumper riders have commented that he has the ability to go to the top of their chosen discipline.  Zeno participated in the CWB SPT in 2009 and although came into it late as he was at the Western Canadian jumper finals he still became reserve champion!  He has also earned his Bronze Premium with the CSH through his winnings in the jumper ring.

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.
