GAZIN’S STORY
In our previous issue a
beautiful horse was pictured with a caption that the story would follow
in the next issue of the ASAV
Newletter. Here is Gazin’s story told by his loving owner, Michaela DeCesare.
My Mom bought Gazin as a
yearling for me. For years I had been
fascinated by the beauty and the friendliness of the Arabian horse.
Gazins Sire, Monrad ox, was the first Arabian horse in the state of
Bavaria in Germany being registered for trakehner breeding. That cross
was very successful.
Gazins Dam, Gharifa, was
imported from Babolna where she did lots of parades, which are very popular
in Hungaria before
becoming a broodmare and
moving over to Germany.
Gazin competed in
dressage shows in Germany and has won
several ribbons. We also
did some fox hunting (actually in Germany no real fox is being chased),
lots of fairs, parades
and long distance riding.

In Summer 1999 I married my husband Mark from Kingston
NY, and moved to the United States. Gazin flew “ First Class” on a
Lufthansa Cargo plane sharing his container stall with two mares.
Arriving at his new home he was greeted by a beautiful purebred white
Arabian mare, Lady Hawk; (Dam Taras Nazeera Sire Saffire). He instantly
fell in Love with her.
Since then they have produced several foals that all inherited
their fathers extremely good nature. Last Year he amazed us again by
babysitting his 11 week old daughter Nikita for about two months when
her mother needed Colic surgery. He even shared his stall with her. His
other duties now include giving rides to our two little boys, two and
four year old, and all their little friends around the farm. as well as
still showing at events likes Horse Shows in the Sun(HITS) in
Saugerties, NY for the “horse of the world’ class.
He is now 21 Years old enjoying his semiretired life sharing
stall and pasture with his beloved mare Lady Hawk.
