Pure joy never goes out of style.

One of the best things about the American Saddlebred is that it brings a smile to your face no matter your age. Moments like this remind us that the love of horses, the thrill of the ride, and the friendships made along the way are truly timeless.

Rock Creek is proof that passion doesn’t have an age limit. 🐴✨

CH-EQ La Zingara

4/4/03 – 2/21/26

“Gypsy” as she was fondly known occupied the very first stall on the show side of Zubrod Stables for many years. She knickered to passersby and often ended up with more than her fair share of treats. In her latest years, she squealed if another horse walked by – becoming territorial of her personal space.

She was born to a Palomino mare named Vanity’s Pennies from Heaven, sired by the The Magic Commander, the small foal was destined for greatness. After having a successful career with her breeder, Dawn Striegel in Adult Pleasure and then in Pleasure Equitation with Kaelynn Lesniak, Gypsy first arrived to Zubrod Stables in 2012 to be Kaitlin Kelly’s senior equitation horse. They were winning in their debut in the Pleasure Equitation class at River Ridge – and continued their winning ways throughout the year. In her final junior exhibitor year, they were Reserve National Champions in the UPHA Pleasure Challenge Cup Finals, before competing in the Adult Equitation division, winning the UPHA Adult Challenge Cup National Championship in 2014.

Later in 2014, barnmate and friend, Kaeley Arterburn’s family purchased Gypsy. They earned top ribbons together in their first year of competition and in 2015 they were crowned 16-year-old Equitation World’s Champions, soon after earning the title of Triple Crown winners in Pleasure Equitation after taking first place in all three of their national finals together. They took on trimmed equitation the following year winning at Rock Creek, Lexington Jr. League, the WCHS, and finished top 10 in all their national finals – including third in the UPHA Senior Challenge Cup National Finals. Their story book ending continued when Kaeley won the USEF Adult Medal Finals with her in 2020 as well…(continued in comments)
