Sire:
Quixote Interagro
Dam:
The
dam, Estrelada (JLC) is a Quina (CI) mare imported from Portugal. The
combination of the extremely functional genealogies of Danúbio II (MV)
[Quixote Interagro’s sire] with the Quina (CI) lineage was one of the
great successes obtained by the Interagro selection program regarding the
breeding of competitive horses, Zerbino being one of these.
Dam’s
Interagro Progeny: Pixote Interagro [by Ribatejo (MAC); Reticente
Interagro [by Distinto (MAC)]; Sedutor Interagro [by Yacht (SA)]; Úrica
and Valquiria Interagro [both by Visqueiro (CI)]; Xanadu Interagro [by
Quínio Interagro ] and ZERBINO.
Trainer's Opinion: This elegant gelding was also started in driving,
but Pia Aragão and Heather Bender stole him from the Interagro’s driving
trainers when they found Zerbino Interagro. The driving trainers now get
nervous when they see both watching them. Zerbino was so attractive and
the right type mover for the 2008 collection we wanted to bring him to
Florida. We have been really happy with his progress even with his late
start under saddle. This is a very pretty horse with 3 good gaits and
lots of athletic ability. He has a lovely face and eye. His expression
matches his sweet natured. He has always been a bit of a ‘looker’ but as
he gains more experience he has improved and become much more confident.
He is another naturally well balanced, well put together horse that is on
his way in his training program. Zerbino is showing very consistent
improvement in a short time. This horse shows good potential for many
riders but is still of course considered ‘green’ and will need a
consistent program.
Fun note
to remember: Zerbino has had a successful start in driving and could
easily go on to driving or riding or both!
