Captain is a 15.3-hands son of  Zipposcountryboy out of Zippo Serenade.

He is a multiple World/Reserve World and National Reserve Champion. He was the Reserve World Champion Western Horse. He was mainly shown in Trail, Western Riding and Western Pleasure. Only in his last year of competition did we branch out to other events. During his last outing at the World, he came out of a cattle event, straight into Western Pleasure and placed in the top ten. He has a laid back personality and is easy to work with.

Captain's Bloodline continues . . .

Congratulations to Tom and Phyllis Kirby and their great mare Mia Country Star (Country Captain’s full sister) for winning Senior Western Pleasure at the 2006 World Show. This is their second World Championship for this great mare.

Congratulations to Betty Linton and Zip’s Gone Country (Country Captain son) on their sixth place at the Nationals in a tough western equitation class. Zips Gone Country was not shown at the World show due to an injury but is expected to pick up where he left off in 2007. Great things are expected.

Watch for Kiss my Buns, sired by Country Captain as she begins her show career in 2007. Her loud color and great movement will ensure success. She is owned by Jim and Sandy Jirkovsky, J/S Training.

For those polo enthusiasts, yes, Country Captain’s polo babies are now on the professional polo circuit.
