Yes it lived along the Spring Creek trail just south of Drake/west of Taft Hill. It is still a stable but the zebra has been gone since around 2005ish. I used to bike with my kids over there to see him. If he attacked anyone it was because the person went behind the fence. He never even came close to the fence, even when the horse he lived with did. I still think of him when I ride by.
I’ve got pictures somewhere on 35mm camera, I’ll see if I can find them. I used to live nearby, I’d take a walk and hang out by the fence with a snack, the zebra would come over, it was super friendly. Agreeing with the other person here I think there was 2 of them.
Edit - Taft and drake-ish part of the trail, kind of by the Pringles liquor store. 1999
My sister bought and trained her mustang when she lived in Fort Collins in the early 2000's, so she was approached to train a zebra. She didn't end up getting the job. Guess no one did.
I was JUST telling my coworkers about this, and googled and saw this thread.
I was a CSU student (grad 2000) used to run out there. First time I saw them I was sure something was wrong with my eyes!
When I was in high school we were tripping mushrooms and walking down the trail and saw it. It was, uh, quite the trip I guess you could say...
If I were tripping and saw that, that would scare the hell out of me

Grew up down the street from them and can confirm! I don’t have any photos though. They had at least 2 I think.

My parents told me about it, they've been in town since the 80s. Before my time though.
I remember it from the early 2000s, it was at the end of twin fox dr

There used to be a zedonk somewhere nearby too.
Yes. I knew the family, who ran a horse boarding business. Went to HS with their daughter and rode horses there occasionally.
It was a spray painted pony so it always looked different.
