Zack

Listing Overview

This 12-year-old KWPN gelding brings the kind of talent that makes Grand Prix feel achievable rather than aspirational. With his Zack and Gribaldi bloodlines, he's showing all the Prix St. Georges work and schooling the Grand Prix movements with what his rider describes as particularly easy piaffe and passage, the kind of honesty in the difficult work that can't be manufactured. His movement has the reach you want in the big ring, stunning half passes and a huge extended trot that will catch judges' eyes, paired with pirouettes and changes that suggest he's genuinely ready for the next level. What makes him particularly appealing is his temperament, friendly and unflappable enough for an amateur or young rider to bring along, yet with the quality and training to take a professional or U-25 competitor into the CDI arena. Based in Wellington with clean x-rays, he's the gelding you picture yourself warming up on show mornings, the one with enough skill to be exciting and enough character to be trustworthy.
