Zip Phin who is a homebred stallion was sent to De Radstake Stud in Holland as a 2 year old to be prepared for his KWPN grading which he successfully competed and passed the first phase with the comment by the Dutch judges that he was “like a rubber ball” and went on to make it into the Dutch Horse Papers. He then had to attend another grading where he was given a very high mark for his jumping ability but we were informed that he was not mature enough and should return under saddle. Anna broke and produced him through British Novice and Discovery as a 4 year old until she fell pregnant at the end of 2008 at which time he was moved to De Radstake Stud and Stal Puck where he was ridden by Ester Blekkink and Robert Puck respectively. Zip Phin’s career went from strength to strength competing and winning at 1.25 and 1.30 level in Holland and Austria. In June 2010 Zip Phin returned home for Anna to take over the reins again and in just a couple of months he has achieved all his double clears in Foxhunter and will now be aimed at the Winter Qualifiers and age classes. Zip Phin has already produced exceptional youngstock who are showing a lot of quality.
