GA’ZI was bred by Mr. & Mrs. Leland Mekeel of Mekeel Ranch in California. He was born in 1949. The following year he was purchased by the Weaver family. He was with them only shortly before Mr. Weaver met an untimely death and the colt was sold once more, this time to a family by the name of White. It was at this farm that he was first spotted by Dr. Eugene LaCroix, who was wild about the ABU FARWA son. Dr. LaCroix went home, spoke with his friend Woody Madsen, and the LASMA partnership was formed.

GA’ZI went into training with Woody Madsen, who trained him for halter and western pleasure. Before long he was making trips around the West, winning at horse shows large and small. Although he was also trained for three-gaited and English Pleasure, he was seldom shown in either discipline.

In 1957, Lasma was moved to Scottsdale, Arizona by Dr. LaCroix. GA’ZI would be trailered between Washington and Arizona for breeding and showing season. By the late 1960’s, the LaCroix’s Polish imported stallion *BASK++ was making a name for the Lasma farm, and Dr.LaCroix made it possible for GA’ZI to remain with Woody Madsen in Washington year around.

GA’ZI was probably one of the better known of the ABU FARWA sons. Besides his extensive show career, he was a breeding stallion of note, siring 266 purebred foals. His foals continued on in the tradition of all-around family horses, who could work with dad in the morning and be shown by the kids in the afternoon and breed a mare or two that night.

At the 1967 Canadian Nationals, all four championships and reserves went to GA’ZI get. They were MISS CENTURY 21 as reserve champion mare, FAR’ZI as reserve champion stallion, GANEYN as champion stallion and FATEENA+ as champion mare.

GA’ZI even had a filly of his exported to Brazil.

Ga’zi was chosen to be a ‘Living Legend’ in 1970. He died in 1978 at the age of 29.
