MADE IN THE SHAIDE ( x Montessa Bey)

Made in the Shaide or ZADE is a 5 year old purebred gelding who was ridden endurance (barefoot) as a 4 year old and started his formal under saddle training in late March 2010. Zade is loving the transition to a show horse and all the attention that comes with it, and is displaying rapid progress in his training. We can't wait to see Zade develop as the season progresses, as he competes in Sporthorse In-Hand and Under Saddle Junior Horse and Training Level Dressage. At his second show, Diablo Arabian Horse Show (DAHA) ZADE won his age class In-Hand finishing 3rd overall for the Show Sporthorse Gelding Open Championship (in a large competitive class).

Update Oct 2010: Zade put in the performances of his life finishing 17th in-hand with Amanda Cesar out of 36 horses. Not bad!!! Zade had a stellar go in his under saddle class and a relaxed ride in dressage, however a blown lead in dressage cost any chance of a Top Ten title. His owner Tamara Cook said "I was very proud of how far this little gelding has come in 6 short months." The future for ZADE promises to be exciting.
