Can't remember whether Zonick or Zonic sorry.Anyone seen? Carl Hester wrote glowing reports of him in HH.Personally I admire Edward Gal because what ever you of Totilas he was on song for a Gold medal as an individual and he would have helped the Dutch team to get a gold as well.To have him pulled under him must have been a bitter blow but he pulled himself up, took a horse that I don't think he would of hand have chosen to take to those olympics, helped his team get a sivler which is no mean achievement and kept a smile on his face.At least he GOT to the olympics.
Zonic looks lovely and light and his paces are not quite so extravagent at the front as Totalis'.Still not totally convinced though.You can see his test on youtube.Anyone else?
 
I just looked at his test, personally I didn't like the extravagance of totilas's fronts so like this one better. he is not as polished yet but I like his movement, his hinds are more active than totilas. looking forward to seeing him get better. Edward gal is a brilliant rider but im not sure I like his training methods, seems a bit too forceful to me (just my opinion). I still prefer the way charlotte and carl ride, it looks more relaxed for the horse...
 
well he goes up ad down and lot and is certainly eye catching so I would imagine he will do well, but he is yet another one that does not even do the basic that is tracking up in trot.
He also looks like a cut and shunt and desperately lacks any thigh muscle or bone but I daresay he will be siring lots of foals too
