The best trait that Zarzuelas Rodrigo
de Vivar has is that he is alert and
interested in everything, which works
very well in halter, but was a hindrance
for performance classes. It took me
three years to get him past the first
jump in hunter classes at shows. So after
embarrassing me at many shows, he
finally made it over the first jump and
has never refused since. In his first halter
obstacle class, I thought I should rename
him “Velcro” because he leaned against
me the entire class. He overcame his
fear and was Reserve World Champion
twice in Halter Obstacle and has won
numerous Honor Roll buckles. He now
has confidence and completely trusts me.
I don’t need a twitch to clip him. When it
is time for his ears, he squeezes his eyes
shut, holds his breath, and just wants to
know when it is over! He is my best horse
because he is versatile and can shine in
any event, whether it is a halter class,
hunter, or halter obstacle. I absolutely
adore Roddy.

HCM XCalibers Triumph and Franklin
have become quite a team. At shows they
do quite well in performance classes:
halter and driving obstacle, hunter,
driving classes, and showmanship.
Triumph is very well-behaved and is
willing to try most anything. He even
enjoys participating in the cones and
marathon courses in carriage driving
events.
He proved his worth in one driving
class, somehow the bit was not in his
mouth. No one (except the judges)
noticed it because Triumph continued
in the class with a perfect headset and
followed instructions—including backing.
He is a pleasure to show or just hang out
with since he is a very sweet horse.
