Commandingly leading the 2008 International Jumper Futurity Listings, Reno (Riverman x Caretino) has offspring putting in top performances across the country. His American-bred son, Zero Point (Hilltop Reno x Galoubet A) has certainly been racking up the points during the competition season with his top-place finish in the USEF Five-Year-Old Jumper Horse of the Year division. Bred by Candy Tripple and owned by Matt Yeterian, Zero Point had numerous competitions last season with his rider Maggie Jayne, including taking Reserve Champion Five-Year-Old at the Midwestern League Young Jumper Championships. When asked about Zero Point, Jayne stated, "He's a great young horse who displays not only the speed to excel in the jumping arena but also the brains and carefulness."

Matt Yeterian purchased Zero Point from Alex Jayne early this summer and continues to have Maggie compete him. An adult jumper competitor himself, Yeterian enjoys catching an occasional ride on Zero Point and says that Zero Point is an "unbelievable horse." Yeterian stated. "Maggie and Zero Point are a very competitive team; they're both smart, courageous, and athletic. I'm looking forward to watching them as they continue to develop and compete."

Zero Point will be starting the 2009 competition season in Florida, where he begins competing in the six-year-old jumper division.
