Zafferano, known as Rufus at home, is a compact rising 3-year-old gelding, expected to mature at approximately 16.1/2hh. Currently unbacked, he is an attractive young horse with a pleasing temperament and a kind, trainable outlook.
Rufus shows good natural activity and a particularly nice walk, combined with a balanced way of going, making him an appealing young prospect to produce for dressage.
His pedigree brings together two highly influential bloodlines in modern dressage. His sire, Zackorado, is a talented and modern horse who has competed successfully with Olympic Paralympic rider Tobias Thorning Jørgensen, demonstrating both quality and rideability.
