Roseway Stud is a family business, based in St Day, Cornwall owned and run by James Luker and his partner Michelle Jarman.
The stud currently has warm blood stallion Zig Zag standing at stud. Suddenly and very sadly, we lost our beloved stallion Zabantos In July.
Zig-Zag is a 16.2hh bay Dutch Warmblood by prolific show jumping stallion Concorde out of Namira De Haar. This very talented and beautiful stallion has already proven himself to have exceptional scope and ability. He has a wonderful temperament, is regularly ridden and schooled and is showing considerable talent over jumps.
RIP Zabantos 7th June 2004 to 24th July 2011
It is with great sadness to say we have had to say goodbye to our beloved Zabantos who was with us for such a short time. After competing at Falmouth Horse Show on July 23rd, he suddenly developed colic the following day (Sunday) and sadly did not pull through surgery.
ZABANTOS was a lovely strong, bold stallion with good confirmation and very expressive movement. He caught our eye as a beautiful 3-year old when we first saw him in Holland in 2007. He had exceptional bloodlines such as Julio Mariner, Investment, Voltaire, Grace-Kelly, Nimmerdor. His grand sire is the great BALOUBET DU ROUET who can undoubtedly be rated as one of the best show jumpers at the turn of the millennium.
In his tragically short life and having enjoyed a successful show jumping season this year, including qualifying for the Newcomers' Final at HOYS he was proving true to his forebears showing the scope and ability to go a long way in his show jumping career. He was extremely bold and brave and this legacy he has already passed on to his offspring but he was also kind and generous and he leaves such a gap in our lives.
A shining star that will never fade, never age, he stepped into our lives on a whisper and nestled quietly within our hearts where he will remain forever.
"We'll never forget Zabantos but are now looking to the future and focussing on 'Ziggy's' preparation for HOYS"

When God created the horse,
he said to the magnificent creature:
I have made thee as no other.
All the treasures of the earth shall lie between thy eyes. Thou shalt cast thy enemies between thy hooves,
But thou shalt carry my friends upon thy back. Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me.
And thou fly without any wings, and conquer without any sword.
~ The Koran
