VanZant is a delightful 3 year old mini Friesian, well actually he is a Warlander, his sire is Friesian and his mother is Half Andalusian, half Friesian. We started him under saddle about 5 weeks ago without any drama, he is a good boy. He is NOT in full training, about 3 times a week. The under saddle video is unedited, what you see is what you get. I have ridden hundreds of young horses, this one is very special in his willingness but especially in his ability to balance himself with a rider this early on in the training. This is raw talent, he will be able to go all the way with correct training, the 25% Spanish blood give him that little extra strength in the hindleg and back that pure Friesians lack sometimes. I expect him to grow and fill out more, he is only 3 years old, but he will never be a BIG horse. Rider in video is 5 ft 7 for reference. The only reason he is offered for sale is medical condition of his owner.
