HELICON FARMS
Specializing
in Dressage & Hanoverians
Welcome to my Website!
According to Greek mythology, beautiful Mount Helicon was home to the muses of poetry and music. It was also birthplace to the winged white stallion Pegasus.
In the 1960's my grandfather's tribute to Helicon flourished as a Morgan breeding farm in Vermont. My mother and grandfather campaigned their horses together. When my father, Luther Zai, joined the family he introduced his passion for dressage to the mix. He was a Swiss citizen and had enthusiastically studied dressage in Zurich. Dressage was relatively unknown in the U.S. in those days and my grandfather was not convinced - he found the movements of those horses to be rather boring!
Both my father and grandfather passed away when I was quite young, but I still inherited their passion for horses..
Helicon Farm is now is based 15 minutes west of Fort Worth, Texas. I train dressage horses and raise my own Hanoverian riding horses. I am a lifetime student of dressage and horse training, and enjoy sharing what I learn with my students and friends. Our horses are treasured, and their compassionate treatment is our guiding principle.

My horse adventures are subsized in part by my work in Advertising Sales for the SouthWest Horse Trader. I am also very excited to be able to work with Anna Goebel, new owner of the Sporthorse Stallion Directory, the beautiful annual publication that was founded by Nicole Robertson. Visit the website the Sporthorse Stallion Directory and sign up for your free copy too! Also, look for my occasional horse care and dressage articles in various magazines. I am especially proud of my articles with Sabine Schut-Kery, which have appeared in Dressage Today.
