SUNSET ENZIO ch. H, ARABIAN, 1972

AHR 85143
Raymond H and Helen G Smith Enzio was euthanized in the spring of 2000 after suffering a mild stroke. He was nearly 28 years old. Ann McKay wrote that, as a young horse, he showed as much working ability as his sire. She regretted that she never had the time, money and health to take him as far as he could go. Although he may not have reached his full potential, Enzio did compete successfully in Dressage through 4th Level, eventing through Preliminary Division, Combined Driving and even some Competitive Trail. Few horses given every possible chance in the competitive arena accomplish as much or show such versatility. Enzio also inherited his sire’s exceptional disposition; Chris described him as her mother’s best friend and a true gentleman of a horse. The last year Ann evented on Enzio, in Training Division to spare Ann’s back, they came second three times to a USET team rider with the difference in penalty points being less than two points for the three events. In the early 1980s, Chris also competed on Enzio at Preliminary level before he retired from eventing.
