Zidane is the most complete jumper we have imported in three years. He won the 1.30m Longines League round at Sharjah in March, placed at CSI2* Al Ain at 1.35m, and did both in a snaffle with his ears pricked. The scope is for 1.40m; the brain is for an ambitious amateur or a junior stepping into ranking classes. We commissioned a full five-stage vetting with twenty-four radiographs in June, Faras verified him physically at our barn, and his KWPN papers and FEI record are checked. A serious horse, presented the way serious horses should be.
Have Zidane VL examined by an approved clinic before you commit. The vet is engaged by you and reports to you — from AED 1,200.
