Zakon

"We may not always get the teacher we want, but nearly always we get the teacher we need."

Born in 1985 at the now extinct Shakovskoy Stud farm in Russia, Zakon was imported to be a carriage driving horse. He came to us as an 18 year old and amazed us with his ability to learn and remember new things. Under saddle he was sensative to every nuance of leg and shift of weight. His bone deep honesty and unyielding work ethic made his every movement as perfect as he was capable...every single time. He loved his work and looked for his bridle every day. I have never had the honor of knowing a more honest or hardworking horse. He was an amazing teacher...and an incredible gift. Without him there would have never been a Black River Orlovs. Our lives would be profoundly different without his joyous representation of his breed.
