Waldemar Seunig comments on Zrust in his book "I don't count time in the saddle ...":

“ The" leading chief rider "Wenzel Zrust, a student of the famous Meixner , is a man who never succumbs to the temptation to slip into the fringes of virtuoso circus clothing. A leg complaint made it difficult for him to bring his empathy and enormous influence to bear. Zrust's horses can be ridden by anyone. "

Claire Eugenie Mollik-Stransky, the daughter of a Bohemian industrialist, mentions him as her riding instructor in her childhood and youth memories. According to the manual of the very highest court and the court of his k. And K. Apostolic Majesty he was a holder of the war medal.
