ℹ️Breed Note: Clase Azul is a Zangersheide (Z-branded sport horse). USEF records him as "Belgian Warmblood" — the parent studbook classification. Zangersheide, renowned for its jumping bloodlines, more precisely describes his pedigree. By Aktion Pur Z · Out of Comtessa Z.
📅
Showing Age vs. Biological Age: In USEF competition, all horses age up on January 1st regardless of foal date. Clase Azul was foaled June 13, 2016, making him 9 years old biologically — but he has been competing as a 10-year-old since January 1, 2025. Haltered displays both: showing age (used for divisions and competition) and biological age (used for vet records, PPE, and insurance).

Clase Azul has been successfully campaigned by Alexa Hackathorn (owner, junior rider) and Taylor Bowman (professional trainer) across three seasons. This dual-rider record demonstrates his suitability for junior/amateur owners while confirming professional-level capability. The complete career history spans 2024–2025 across Zones 8 and 10.
About Clase Azul
Clase Azul is a striking Zangersheide gelding showing as a 10-year-old in 2025 (9 biological, foaled June 2016) with a genuine 3-ring career spanning Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation across three competitive seasons. His exceptional dapple grey coat and well-balanced frame make him one of the most recognizable horses on the Colorado and California circuits.
By Aktion Pur Z out of Comtessa Z, he carries the classic Z-line carefulness and scope that the Zangersheide studbook is celebrated for. At 15.3¾ hands (officially measured and USEF verified), he is ideally sized for junior riders, smaller adult amateurs, and equitation riders. His career started under professional Taylor Bowman in the Small Hunter at 3' and USHJA Hunter divisions, and has grown to include a Pre-Children's Hunter Championship and consistent wins in the .85m Jumpers — including wins for owner Alexa Hackathorn herself.
The complete record across the Desert Circuit, Scottsdale Spring Festival, Temecula Valley National, and Summer in the Rockies circuits tells the story of a horse with a growing career and a junior rider growing with him. He is a USEF Life member and USHJA Life Registered as of July 2025 — a meaningful long-term investment reflecting confidence in his soundness and future.
Available for purchase at $70,000-$85,000 or a full 12-month lease at $30,000 under an Arizona state-specific contract.
