~ IMPORTED FROM KENTUCKY ~ .
ZEUS JUNIOR aka ( Z.J. )
FATHER is: " HALF PINT's ~ZEUS ~ ",
a Beautiful 13h. DAMARA ZEBRA !
MOTHER is: " HALF PINT's ~ACE ~ "
a 15h. Medicine Hat Overo Paint Mare!
***********************************************
THIS IS: ~Z.J.~ He is a ZORSE!
***********************************************
~ 4 yrs.old ~ in this photo.
~13.2 hands (54in) tall.
He is the FIRST animal in the herd to come up to me when I go out in the field !
"Z.J" and his siblings, were bred and kept until weaning on the farm in Kentucky owned and operated by my good friends whom I met while in training to be a jockey.
Then brought to VA. ~ "Very Carefully" !
They are : HALF PINT MINIATURE HORSES and EXOTIC ANIMALS, LLC.
The Damara Zebra Stallion "ZEUS"
has sadly passed on .
He serviced *both* the farms Zebra broodmare band & Pony Mares.
~R.I.P. Beautiful Zeus~
*******************************************************
Fact 1 : A ZORSE can do everything that a horse can be trained to do ... Only Better !
MYTH : THIS IS EASY!!
With their Powerful hocks, inherited from their ZEBRA genes, they make Fantastic Jumpers or Driving Animals. MYTH : THIS IS EASY!!
" It is no problem for a yearling ZORSE to clear a 6 foot fence ! " I 'VE SEEN IT !!!
-- Diane Richards ~California .
*******************************************************
Fact 2 : A ZORSE is a " Hybrid "
They are infertile, and cannot reproduce. The same as a Mule , which is the product of crossing a Horse and a Donkey. MYTH: Some Folks have stated to me,they have Fertile Zorses/Zonies! ????
********************************************************
Fact 3 : There are other "forms" of "hybrids"
( P.C. terms! )
The cross between a ZEBRA & PONY
~ A ZONY ~
The cross between a ZEBRA & DONKEY
~ A Z-DONK or ZEBRASS ~
*******************************************************
Fact 4: It is Difficult to find a Zebra Stallion
whom will service a Horse/Pony mare.
Especially one that has previously been with Zebra mares.
i.e. That is one reason why there are only
a handful of Hybrids out there. Although, they
are becoming more popular and breeders are producing more of them to go around.
********************************************************
Fact 5: Most breeders reserve the Zebra mare for producing Zebra foals, to preserve the species. Using the Zebra Stallion to produce hybrids with horse/pony mares is the most feasible.

UPDATE ABOUT THESE GORGEOUS & UNIQUE CEATURES!
While I enjoyed training these animals and having them in my life , I NO LONGER promote or "brag" upon the breed.
Even with the best training methods( & different one's work)...
Hybrids are just too unpredictable for me to risk my well being with and the well being of others.
I have seen MUCH wild vigor and Severe Agressiveness in these animals and will no longer have them pastured with my stock.
May All Of Your Equine Days Be Safe Ones!
&
Thanks For Visiting!
WHILE THIS MAKES IT LOOK EASY!
HYBRIDS ARE NOT FOR JUST ANYONE!
AND NEED TO BE RESPECTED & NOT
THOUGHT OF AS A NEAT, NOVELTY !!!
YOU WILL GET HURT THIS WAY!!!
MARK MY WORDS! ~Sarah Aardema
" Z.J ."
Definetly a Unique creature! Genuinely Friendly & Loving ~ Most of the time !
Not ALL Hybrids are this "Usable" and patient
WHAT So EVER !!!!!!!
Please don't think If you go out and Purchase a
Hybrid of any kind ~
you will take it home and be able to ride at Liberty in a RoundPen !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If a Breeder/Seller tells you so ... PLEASE
ASK THEM TO PROVE IT And DO IT FIRST !!!!
By No means Do I wish to "put a damper on the market ~ Just keep folks
safe & Educated..
~Thanks.
