I am Bill Gibford's daughter and here are the true facts of Zan Parr Bar. The decision to buy him was my mother's, Jeannie Gibford. My mother, Jeannie Gibford, named him from his bloodlines. She spent days and days trying to find the perfect name. She always appreciated the old horse Zantanon. So, she took the Zan from him and balance it with the other two names. My mother, Jeannie, gave daily attention and training to Zan from 4 months on. My mother also drove him, Zan, by herself two weeks before my birth with my two brothers who were 3 & 5 at the time to his first show. The outstanding horseman Dan Easton showed him, since my Mom was unable to with being two weeks from delivery. This was his first Grand Champion win. My father was a true to his word man and would never have sold a horse to Greg Whalon and led him on and then taken a check from Carol Rose. Matlock Rose was the first horseman to see and offer to buy the horse, not Carol Rose. The buying deal with Carol Rose was for the check amount and the first belt buckle he won. My mom wanted to show him at Cow Palace and Carol said she wanted to take him right then and would send the first belt buckle, as promised, which was from the Arizona Sun Circuit. Unfortunatly, my mother is STILL waiting for it. She has called Carol over the years and received many excuses and hang ups. I wish Carol Rose would be reputable in all her deals. That's it, the true story from a family member. |

Zan Parr Bar was a Quarter horse stallion who excelled at halter and at calf roping, as well as being a famous sire of show horses.[1] He was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Association's (or AQHA) Hall of Fame in 2010.
Early life
Zan Parr Bar was a chestnut stallion sired by Par Three, a son of AQHA Hall of Fame member Three Bars (TB). His dam was Terry's Pal, a daughter of Poco Astro.[2] He was bred by Bobbie Silva of Tulare, California and was foaled on April 30, 1974. At four months old he was bought by Bill Gibford, a professor at California Polytechnic State University, who named him Zan Parr Bar, with the Zan part of the name referring to the horse's distant ancestor Zantanon, and the Parr and Bar referring to Par Three and Three Bars.[3] At maturity, he stood 15.3 hands high and weighed 1250 pounds.[4]
Gibford showed Zan Parr Bar as a two-year-old in halter, earning a couple of Grand Champion titles as well as a few Reserve Grand Championships. While at a show in California, Texas breeder Carol Rose saw Zan Parr Bar, and tried to purchase him from Gibford, who had been her advisor at Cal Poly, but Gibford would not sell, only compromising at allowing Rose the right of first refusal if he ever did sell the horse. A month later, Gibford called Rose, and informed her that he was in fact entertaining offers for the stallion, and she immediately flew to California and finalized the deal for the horse.[3] As Rose put it, "I was on a plane at eight the next morning, there by three, and by 5:30, the deal was done. At six, someone else who'd made an offer showed up."[5]
Show career
Rose moved the stallion to Texas and her then husband Matlock Rose continued the horse's halter career. At the same time, Zan Parr Bar began showing western pleasure, earning 19 points in western pleasure with the AQHA by the end of 1977, enough for a Performance Register of Merit. In 1978, the stallion began showing in steer roping, earning a Superior Steer Roping horse title as well as an AQHA Champion title by the end of 1978.[6]
During his show career he earned an AQHA Champion, Performance Register of Merit, Superior Halter Horse and Superior Steer Roping Horse. He was the 1977 High Point Halter Stallion and World Champion Three Year Old Stallion. In 1979 he was the World Champion Aged Stallion in Halter as well as the High Point Steer Roping Horse. In 1980 he repeated as World Champion Aged Halter stallion.[2]
Breeding career
Zan Parr Bar retired from showing after 1980, becoming a full time breeding stallion.[7] As a sire, he sired a number of World Champion horses, including Reprise Bar, Zan Parr Jack, and Zan Gold Jack.[2] Crossed with fellow Hall of Fame member Diamonds Sparkle, Zan Parr Bar produced Sparkles Rosezana, Zans Diamond Sun and Sparkles Suzana.[1] In total, he sired 652 foals out of 12 foal crops, with his foals earning 22 AQHA Champions, 31 World Champions titles, 6 Superior Halter titles, 204 Performance Register of Merits, and 143 Superior Performance titles in various disciplines.[3]
He died of Colitis X on November 25, 1987.[1] He was buried at the Southwest Stallion Station in Elgin, Texas.[8] He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2010.[1]
