Genetics

Sire Line

The sire, Darwin Z, is a Zangersheide stallion that has achieved multiple successes in the 1,35m tests in the past year with Joe Clee.

The grandsire, Dominator 2000 Z (by Diamant de Semilly), has excelled numerous times on a podium, to which his victories in the CSI5* Grands Prix of Stockholm, Doha and Hamburg bear witness. He has over fifty approved sons and nearly ten 7-year-olds already at 1.45m level.

The granddam, Carry Z, is an high-legged and high-blooded mare that has jumped at the highest level with Judy Ann Melchior. She is also the dam of chestnut stallion Copycat Z, the Comilfo Plus Z son, who was bought by Evergate Stables and is creating a furore under Harrie Smolders.

Caretano Z was one of the most promising sport horses of his generation with a lot of potential for the big sport. When he was 7-yr-old he won the prestigious WC for young horses in Lanaken. He then continued to make a magnificent début in the international showjumping sport until he had a fatal rupture of the loin that brought his career to an end. His offspring dominate in showjumping competitions.

Cherry Z (Carthago Z) who jumped at 1.50m with Judy Ann Melchior, but she’s also the dam of the Artos Z mare Aida Z. This Aida Z in turn is the dam of the grey stallion and Chellano Alpha Z son Cosmos BH, who is active at 1.60m level with American lady rider Mimi Gochman.

Dam Line

The dam, Gloria XVIII, is a beautiful Holstein mare, with a lot of expression in her movement. We initially bought Gloria as breeding mare and after 2 foals we decided to initiate her sport career. So far she has competed up to 125 and she is showing to be a very clean and careful mare, that always makes a good parkour.

The grandsire, Casall, has been the Holsteiner studbook’s poster boy over the past years. Under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Casall used to be one of the highest-achieving horses on the international show jumping circuit, making the top 25 at all major championships. His offspring stand out for their convincing charm and class, competing high level internationally and having won top prizes at auction sales all over the world.

Caretino, counts among the Holsteiner studbook’s top sires. Through Caletto II, another exceptional breeding stallion, the sire line traces back to once-in-a-century stallion Cor de la Bryère.

Kira VVII, traces back to stem 890, one of the most successful Holsteiner performance mare families.

The granddam, Santa, was classified up to 135.

Dobel's Cento, earned millions in his international sporting career. His progeny are equally successful in sport and breeding and over 30 of them are successful at 1.50 level.

B-Lionella, was also an athlete and was placed up to 150.
