This outstanding young stallion has a superb nature, is 100% genuine and trainable. He has world-class winning bloodlines in all three disciplines. Zipper is being professionally produced under saddle ready for his Eventing career next year.
His sire, the Group One and Ascot Gold Cup winner Double Trigger has already produced winners in most dicisplines including graded stock in their relevant studbooks and additionally successful offspring in the 'Young Horse Classes' and the 'Sports Horse Evaluations'. Welton Double Cracker, bred and owned by Welton Stud, sucessfully passed his inspection for the AES stallion grading.
On the Dam's side we have Abwah who is by the famous Racehorse Abernant, both winners and sires of Group One winning horses. Abwah is related to Aberlou who is the sire of Blyth Taits' top class eventing horse Messiah - winner of the 'Stockholm World Championships' and a Silver medal at the Barcelona Olympics in the team section. These bloodlines are responsible for many successful Eventers including winners at Badminton and other World Class Competitions. Abernant is renowned in Europe for producing offspring and descendants who excel in all disciplines. His bloodlines can be found in many of today's top class European Stallions including Ramzes, and the outstanding Dressage Horse Pion.
Zipper is a classy looking T/B with the correct amount of bone, superb to look at, with a laid back attitude to life. He has the most amazing length of rein, and is a tall, scopey horse. He has the three correct athletic paces ideal for dressage, a bold, confident outlook for XC and a superb bascule for jumping. These three qualities combined with his laid back temperament should enable him to make a top class Eventer.
Zipper is a superb example of today's modern thoroughbred breeding with top class foundation lines. We are looking forward to his first crop of foals in 2006.
A horse of this quality will definitely be one to look out for as both a sire and a competition horse.
Due to his competition career - Zipper will not be available in 2005.
However we do have plans to have frozen semen taken from him at the end of this year.
