Zahir
2016 16.3h Holsteiner Gelding
Imported in 2022, Zahir made his US show debut with championships at 2023 Kentucky Spring and has won through the 3'3" Young Hunters in company. He's beautiful, smart and trainable and showed to 1.35m in Europe. He has a great jump for the hunters, could be finished as a Big Eq specialist in time, and is a legitimate candidate for the International Derbies. His sire, legendary producer Kannan, is noted for passing on power, good minds, and great work ethics. Zahir exhibits these traits daily & continues to improve in each outing.
Zahir is easy to show & suitable jr/am, but of course will benefit from continued professional guidance. He has all the right pieces, plus the desire to put them together correctly, and has been a pleasure to develop to this point. He shows a great understanding of the game and should thrill any serious 3'6" hunter, derby or equitation shopper.
