From a pretty color, superb tissues, a modern model in the blood with long legs, a beautiful front end, a beautiful neckline well carried out and oriented, BEST OF OPUS DEI Z is the worthy heir of his sire but also of his grandfather BALOUBET DU ROUET.
He is endowed with a lot of charisma and the desire to do well. Very complete, he will bring: blood, chic, locomotion, a quality of gallop, strength and suppleness.
It's a very good horse.
His foals have charisma but are gentle, endearingly sensitive, cool-headed, self-assured, strong-willed and generally stand between 1.68m and 1.70m.
He will suit many mares but avoid those too material, long-jointed and too complicated.
A warrior in the ring, from a dressage stock with beautiful locomotion, a big canter, he is also to be used without moderation for eventing.
Discouraged for leisure but recommended for making real show horses!!!
Homozygous on the Extension (Red Factor) gene, with an E/E A/a genotype, he only produces bay or black.

BEST OF OPUS DEI Z has progressed as far as the CSIO 5* Grand Prix. Highly competitive in classes from 145 to 160 with many placings to show for it, he represented SWITZERLAND with Yannick JORAND and BELGIUM under Dominique JOASSIN, in CSI on 3 continents.
BEST OF OPUS DEI Z is a very talented rider.
He put an end to his sporthorse career (uninterrupted since a very young age) in 2019 at the age of 14 following a recurrent lesion on the high attachment of a fetlock suspensor that prevented him from riding big events. Regularly ridden for his physical maintenance, he now devotes his time exclusively to breeding.
He's a real pleasure to ride.
