A very uniform collection of well-developed foals with very good jumper conformation and abundant presence. The trot has more than sufficient stride length with a hind leg that steps well under the body. Front leg use is flat in multiple instances. The foals pick up the canter easily and change leads
remarkably well. The canter is light-footed, with good stride length and carriage. The foals move with good carriage and an attractive front end.

The breeding recommendation is based on the performance test and the offspring inspection. Zambesi can improve the canter, conformation, reflexes, and jumping form in jumper breeding. Mares should be suffi ciently long-lined.
