Zetár was born in our stud in April 2019. As a foal, he received basic drills and care, including hoof trimming, picking up his feet, leading, and deworming. When he reached training age, during his during his regular training sessions he was gradually exposed to various objects in his environment to increase his stimulus threshold. As part of his training, he participated in one- to two-hour cross-country rides and learned to perform various exercises in the pen. He also served multiple times as a lead horse during one-day cattle driving and longer riding tours. One of the physical milestones of his training was completing a one-week tour, which he successfully accomplished, covering 20 kilometres per day for five days.
Zetár participated in his first competition in April 2024 at a dressage event in Szentes, where, despite his young age, he performed excellently. He remained calm, endures transportation well, and boarded the trailer quickly. That same year, he competed in his first show jumping event in Hódmezővásárhely, where he finished in 5th place. Following this, he continued training in both show jumping and dressage. Among others, he trained with Csaba Szokola, one of Hungary’s most successful dressage riders. Prior to his first eventing competition, he participated in show jumping training and also competed in a jumping event in Kecskemét, then ridden by Regő Cseppentő.
Later, between October 18 and 20 2024, he took part in his first three-day eventing competition in Bábolna. He performed particularly well in dressage and maintained excellent physical condition throughout the event, completing a faultless cross-country course.

Zetár training:
On June 7, 2025, the CDN-B dressage competition was held in Mórahalom, where Zsófia Apáti and Zetár competed in two classes: A3 and A4. The dressage warm-up took place in an indoor arena, followed by the competition itself, which was held outdoors. During the A3 and A4 tests, Zetár responded willingly to his rider’s subtle aids. As a result, they achieved scores of over 60% in both classes. This 6-year-old gelding, sired by Stardust, remained calm and consistent throughout the day—both during transport and the competition.
