15. BEST BOB

Best Bob – best buddy.

This five-year-old sport horse has an eye-catching blaze and a captivating presence. Best Bob is an athletic gelding with a perfect character, keen intelligence and an even temperament. He’s a lovable horse that is always reliable and quietly answers every question asked of him.

He’s also an easy ride - coming back from a full-pelt extended canter into a collected canter with the finest of aids, and always light on the bit. This rideability makes him ideal for any ambitious amateur or junior rider. Always a focused and eager to learn, this is a young horse with an abundance of talent that is definitely worth bringing on.

Best Bob has done very well at competitions, impressing the judges and collecting placings in young horse classes up to 1.15m. He’s been brought on professionally and is ready to move up into the next-higher class.

Best Compagnie Z is a beautiful skewbald breeding stallion based at the Zangersheide Stud in Belgium with an impressive jumping technique and a distinctive appearance.  Damsire Cantho Z, another Zangersheide-bred stallion, is doing very well as Abdullah Al Sharbatly’s accomplished international competition horse. His sire is the unforgettable world champion and world-class horse producer, Cumano Z.

Back in the third generation, Ogano Sitte enriches the pedigree with his excellent genes. Ogano Sitte is one of Darco’s most interesting sons. He won international Grand Prix classes with Dominique Hendrix and was a very successful competition horse. Ogano Sitte’s progeny are already top-level competition horses themselves and the sheer number of them competing at that level is an indication of this stallion’s calibre as a sire.

Successful relatives:

Best friends forever.
