Tzigane was born at AnTares Trakehners (then Legacy Trakehners) in 1998. Kim Hunter scheduled a visit to come and see some stallion prospects by Graditz *E*. Neither one of them was what she was looking for. She spotted Taz as a 10 day old suckling foal on the other side of the farm and asked about him. She asked about him and my immediate answer was that he wasn't for sale. Long story short, she made me an offer I couldn't refuse and the rest is history. Selling him to Kim was the best thing that could possibly have happened for all of us. Under her ownership he has been given incredible opportunities and excelled as a modern sport horse. We are ecstatic that he is now going full circle and coming to retire at AnTares.
After his ATA approval, Tzigane was ridden by US Eventing Mike Huber. As a 5 year old, he was the most successful Trakehner at Training level in North America and 5th in the nation. In 2006, he was presented in show jumping under Helmut Schrant. In their first season, they won at M level and in 2007, they won and placed at S level. In 2008, Tzigane jumped in his first Grand Prix. By the fall of 2009, Tzigane had accumulated enough wins and placings to earn Verband approval. For many years, he has been the ATA's most successful show jumping stallion, with numerous Horse of the Year awards. He was presented in Germany for the first time in 2010 at the Trakehner Stallion Show in Munster-Handoff. He also participated in the NMS Gala Show where he jumped over fire.
His offspring are proving to be as versatile as their sire, placing and winning in dressage, eventing and show jumping and are favorites with children and amateur owners and riders.
