Zandor Z


Zandor Z, chef de race! We may consider Zandor Z the best supplier of Grand Prix showjumping horses within European breeding. In 2010 he confirmed his title of ‘chef de race’ by being represented with two products at the World Cup finals of Geneva and the WC in Kentucky. Urico and Zekina Z started in Geneva, Zorro Z as well as Urico went to Kentucky.

This is a superb result, considering that they come from a total crop of 131 offspring that are 8-yr-olds or older. Under Kevin Staut Zeta de Hus Z made her international break-through in the top sport, with many platform places in, for example, the GP of Rio de Janeiro and the World Cups of Oslo and Helsinki. Other products of Zandor Z that started in GPs are Zarello Z, Zingaro Z, Zitaswoon Z and Zycarla Z. Zandor Z was a natural himself and under Jos Lansink jumped 30 Grand Prix and 10 World Cup competitions. In addition he won the Grand Prix of Bordeaux and the prestigious titles “Sires of the World” and “Best Stallion”. His dam Sprehe Padua successfully performed in the top sport for many years under Ralf Schneider. She is a full sister of the GP showjumping horses Sonora la Silla (Jan Tops) and Poor Boy (Beat Mändli) from the same Holsteiner lineage 4965 that is also standing at the basis of the international showjumping stallion Levisto Z (Judy-Ann Melchior). A pedigree of rare quality.

Belcam Agassi

By imported frozen semen from the legendary Hannoverian sire Argentinus, combined with the famous jumping line of Silveneer, Agassi stands at 16.3hh. Agassi was syndicated for the highest sum in this country yet. His second crop of foals are again absolute superior quality, showing size and conformation of the finest degree.

His first progeny offered for sale under saddle, fetched an average of over $16,000 at the 2002 Belcam Auction. They all appear to inherit an amazing talent for jumping, along with excellent type and temperament. Two of these progeny to make it out to the shows for light competition this season were Belcam Armada and Belcam Advisor (now owned by Kristy Bruhn, SA). Both young horses showcased their amazing athletic jumping ability and fantastic attitudes.

Belcam Agassi himself has been competing lightly on the Qld jumping circuit and is now C Grade.
