Four Socks - Verwandschaft zu Grey Tonic, Debutant und Zonik Plus

In Four Socks, two exceptional bloodlines meet. On the sire’s side, Fürst Zonik brings not only the popular Fürstenball genes but also the elite mare Zantana, who was sold to the Netherlands at the age of four for €955,000. She is the dam of licensed stallions Fürst Zonik and Debutant, as well as the mare Secret Zone, who in turn is the dam of Grey Tonic, the current HLP winner and arguably the most sought-after young stallion in Germany at the moment. On the dam’s side, the lineage is equally successful. Ricarda, his dam, is a half-sister to four M- and S-level jumping horses (Caskaria, Payback, Dance and Fly, Askaria) and three S-level dressage horses (Dontari, Revinja, Farina Novell). She has already demonstrated her strong genetics through offspring like Sayonara (S-placed) and Foundira (M-placed). 

This strikingly marked movement artist not only shows his qualities genetically but also with his impressive, unique canter, a large, secure walk, and a trot that lies between Fürstenball and Zonik. Anyone familiar with Zonik’s bloodline, for example through Zonik Plus (Justin Verboomen), knows how much expression can develop in collection. Combined with Fürstenball, the trot gains a suppleness and flexibility that make training seem effortless. 

Overall, Four Socks is a perfectly trained sport horse with many special qualities and, above all, a willingness to perform that makes him accessible even to amateurs who wish to develop him further.
