About Z
- Barn name:
“Z is a pretty easy name so that sticks.”
- Favorite Treat:
“Z is a good eater - he likes most food including carrots, mints, etc.”
- Favorite phase in eventing:
“I would say it’s the cross-country. He certainly gets pretty excited about it, but I can tell he’s also proud of himself at the finish and the cool down.”
- Personality Traits:
“He is naturally a bit shy, but as his education has increased so has his confidence and outward personality.”
- Likes:
“He likes to work, so that’s one of the reasons we get along. I do think he likes to compete and perform. He also likes his turnout.”
- Dislikes:
“He is not a fan of crowded arenas and warmup.”
- Any other facts you’d like to add about him?
“I feel lucky to be a part of his career and to watch him grow and mature. Plus, I think the best is ahead of him.”
