The six-year-old bay gelding Hocus Pocus van Overis Z has 1.25m experience and is a comfortable horse to ride. He has a lot of attitude, a calm character and always does his best. Over the jump he shows a great deal of scope and gives the feeling that there is much more in him. A nice and reliable sport horse, suitable for the amateur or novice rider.

Sire
Hickstead (1.60m) is one of the most famous showjumpers of all time. Under Eric Lamaze he won Olympic individual gold and performed at the very highest level for years. As a sire he produced among others:
• Cayman Jolly Jumper – 1.65m
• Gallup – 1.60m
• Hickstead White – 1.60m

Dam
HH Ciske van Overis jumped internationally at 1.60m level herself and achieved strong results in Wellington and Spruce Meadows among others:
• 3rd CSI3*-W Wellington – 1.60m
• 5th CSI5* Spruce Meadows – 1.60m
• 6th CSIO5* Spruce Meadows – 1.60m

She is a daughter of Celano (1.60m) and also produced several offspring, including Floortje van Overis and Aurora, both 1.35m.

Granddam
Uberta van Overis is a daughter of Darco (1.60m) and an exceptionally strong producer of sport horses. From her direct line come among others:
• Supreme Z – 1.60m
• Twix van Overis Z – 1.60m

Hocus Pocus van Overis Z combines riding comfort and a calm character with an exceptional amount of scope. With Hickstead as his sire, a dam who jumped 1.60m herself and the exceptionally productive Van Overis family behind him, he has a great deal going for him both for sport and on paper.
