Sunset Enzio

1972 - 2000

Purebred Arabian Stallion

by the outstanding Arabian Stallion AAZRAK

out of Lamia-Kay

Enzio has proven himself a versatile sire of Eventers, Dressage Horses, Working Hunters, Driving Horses, etc. having competed himself in these disciplines very successfully during his lifetime.

Enzio competed successfully in Dressage through Fourth Level, evented through Preliminary division, Combined Driving and even some Competitive Trail. Few horses given every possible chance in the competitive arena accomplish as much or show such versatility. When owner Ann McKay was forced to compete Enzio at Training Level due to an injury to her back, they came in 2nd three times to a USET team rider with the difference in penalty points being less than 2 points for the three events! Ann's daughter Chris also competed Enzio at Prelim before he retired from eventing.

Enzio's success as a sport horse is hardly suprising, given his sire's show record and his dam's breeding. Lamia-Kay was out of Never Die Holly, a product of the Asmis breeding program. The partnership of Carl Asmis and Never Die Holly's sire Rafmirz was well-known for elegant exhibitions of FEI level dressage. Lamia-Kay's sire Ibn Baruk was a great-grandson of *Sulejman and *Fadl, who were both athletic and versatile riding horses. Ibn Baruk also had lines through his dam to action sire *Berk and multiple crosses to the exceptional hunter *Naomi through the inbred mare Haaranmin.
