Taloubet Z


Taloubet Z, multiple World Cup winner! Taloubet Z added his name to the gallery of the great last year by winning the World Cup Finals in Leipzig under Christian Ahlmann. Earlier that season he had won the World Cup qualifiers in Oslo and Helsinki. In 2010 Taloubet Z had also won the GCT in Estoril and the Grand Prix of Paris. The bay, who was bred in the Netherlands, combines the blood of two celebrities in European breeding with the French super jumper Galoubet A and the Westfalian progenitor Polydor. In the seventies and eighties Galoubet A caused sensation with a series of victories in the international showjumping sport under Gilles Bertran de Ballanda. In breeding world-wide, this Almé Z son is one of the best showjumping horse begetters of his generation.

 His two most famous sons are Olympic Champion Baloubet de Rouet ridden by Rodrigo Pessoa and the tiny jumping miracle Quick Star ridden by Meredith Michaels. Polydor managed in Rheinland, a no man’s land in the breeding world, to produce a wide range of showjumping horses for the top sport. Famous names are Sonora la Silla, Two Steps, Pozitano and Paavo N. Taloubet’s dam Krista is a full sister of the international showjumping Prime Time ridden by Andreas Krieg.

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.

Levisto Z


Levisto Z, the white jumping miracle! The Holsteiner stallion Levisto Z is a true showjumping phenomenon and he belongs to the best showjumping stallions of his generation. Under Judy Ann Melchior Levisto Z started, for example, in the World Cup Finals in Gotenburg in 2008 and the EC of Windsor in 2009. In addition, the combination won many high places between 2005 and 2010 in a number of high ranking 5* Grand Prix.

Levisto Z’s dam Hirtin caused sensation in the top sport by the name of Chica Bay, ridden by Paige Rassas, and started, for example, in the prestigious Calgary Grand Prix. Hirtin is also a full sister of the successful sport and breeding stallions Clinton I and II. Clinton I, for example, ridden by Thomas Voss, finished 4th in the Aachen Grand Prix and Clinton II caused sensation in the top sport under Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst. This highly reputable Holsteiner lineage 4965 also produced the successful sport and breeding stallion Zandor Z as well as the famous international showjumping horses Sonora la Silla (Jan Tops), Sprehe Padua (Ralf Schneider), Poor Boy (Beat Mändli) and Zodiac (Holger Hetzel). A large number of products from the first seasons of Levisto Z are meanwhile active in the international showjumping sport, such as Lady Levisto (Inga Rauert), Lord Levisto (Jana Slavikova) and Lyonell (Cara Raether).
