Jet Set D was foaled in the Netherlands in 1991. He is the offspring of the famous dressage stallion Zirkoon and the highly regarded (keur-preferent-prestatie) mare Escansen, who also had a respected show career.
In 1994, Jet Set D participated in the KWPN stallion performance tests, placing first in the group with very high marks. The jury scored him with 9's for the three basic gaits, temperament, stable manners and trainability. His marks for free jumping an jumping under saddle were 7.5's, lower but still exhibiting better than average competence.
Jet Set D was an impressive competitor in the 1998-99 season under rider Nathalie Smeets, wining four of the six international dressage events.
The offspring of Jet Set D continue to be in demand. Two Jet Set D
offspring competed in the 2001 world dressage championship; a five year
old Orlando and the six year old mare Navratilova, who placed seventh
in the final rankings. A Jet Set D daughter, Jerrita was the champion
mare at the 2000 Devon Horse show. A son, Jet Stream W, has been
approved for breeding by the NRPS.
