Sara's sire, Variant, was reserve champion of his KWPN stallion performance test, with scores of 9 for all three gaits, temperament, cross country and trainability. He competed internationally at FEI level with Anky van Grunsven. Variant's offspring production has been excelent, particularly in the mare category, several of which are the dams of approved stallions today. Most notably, the approved stallion and dressage star Negro is out of a Variant daughter, Fewrie, keur pref. Another example is Junior STV, whose dam is the Variant daughter Ennia STV, keur pref. Other top performance horses by Variant include the NKB Z-level dressage champion Eldolfier, South Holland KWPN Champion Fatima, NCB and NKB M- and Z-level champion Dakar, Flinstone 5 y.o. Dutch dressage champion out of 400 competing.
Sara was started under saddle in September, 2002, and in 2004 won the regional DG Bar Cup competition at Northlands Equestrian Center, Pitt Meadows, BC. This mare demonstrates super trainability and rideabilty -- she's the perfect 16 hand amateur horse. Sara is a half-sibling (same dam) to Uriel ZF, also offered by Zephyr Farm.
