Highlights:
Bridl facilitated the sale of Jill, a 2014 KWPN mare, to an American family seeking the ideal competition partner for their daughter. With a distinguished lineage of Starpower and Carthago, Jill’s career spans successes in both Europe and Mexico. This seamless transaction, managed by Bridl’s new sales partner in Mexico, Francesca Zazza, exemplifies Bridl’s commitment to personalized service, international expertise, and finding the perfect match for riders and horses alike.
Background:
Born in 2014, Jill is a bay KWPN mare whose pedigree is a blend of power, agility, and resilience. Her sire, Starpower, is renowned for his athleticism and consistent performance at the highest levels. On her dam’s side, the influence of Carthago, a celebrated show jumper known for competing in two Olympic Games, adds a legacy of strength and determination.
Imported from Italy to Mexico by Francesca Zazza, an accomplished Italian-Mexican rider, Jill quickly adapted to new challenges and showcased her talent across two continents. Her background in European show jumping laid a strong foundation for her success.
European Experience:
Before arriving in Mexico, Jill competed under rider Michele Previtali at prestigious Italian venues such as Scuderie della Malaspina, C.E. Al.Cle., and Scuderia Leon D’Oro. Her performances in 1.30m classes demonstrated her skill, consistency, and competitive spirit. Some of her notable European results include:
7th Place – 26/02/2023, C130 A Tempo, Scuderie della Malaspina, with Michele Previtali
6th Place – 18/02/2023, C130 Mista Speciale, Scuderie della Malaspina, with Michele Previtali
9th Place – 24/02/2023, C130 A Fasi Consecutive, Scuderie della Malaspina, with Michele Previtali
9th Place – 28/01/2023, C130 A Tempo, C.E. Al.Cle., with Michele Previtali
These results reflect Jill’s reliability in the competitive arena, her ability to handle technical courses, and her readiness for ambitious young riders.
The Move to Mexico:
After her successful stint in Italy, Jill was imported to Mexico by Francesca Zazza, who continued to develop her talent. Under Francesca’s guidance, Jill maintained her competitive edge, gaining valuable experience in a variety of environments and solidifying her reputation as a versatile and reliable sport horse.
Finding Her New Home:
Jill’s journey took another exciting turn when an American family began searching for the perfect horse for their daughter. The family sought a partner who could not only compete but also provide the right temperament for a young rider looking to advance in show jumping.
Bridl’s personalized approach made all the difference. The family tried multiple horses with the Bridl team, but Jill stood out as a clear favorite. To ensure the best fit, Francesca arranged for the family to travel to Mexico for an extended trial period. Over several days, the family had the chance to bond with Jill, observe her temperament, and experience her performance firsthand.
Francesca, who is both Jill’s seller and Bridl’s new sales partner in Mexico, managed all the logistics seamlessly—from organizing the trial to coordinating transportation and paperwork. This hands-on approach and transparent communication ensured the family felt confident and supported throughout the process.
Conclusion:
Jill’s sale to the USA highlights Bridl’s dedication to connecting riders with exceptional horses through personalized service and international expertise. Her journey from Italy to Mexico and now to the USA reflects her adaptability, talent, and the strength of her breeding.
The American family is thrilled with their new partnership, and Jill is poised to continue her success in the show-jumping arena with her new rider. As Jill embarks on this exciting new chapter, Bridl is proud to have played a role in making this connection a reality.
We look forward to seeing Jill and her new rider thrive and create lasting memories together.
