ZANGERSHEIDE Stallions 2025


Judy Ann Melchior & Aganix du Seigneur Z.
Judy Ann Melchior & Aganix du Seigneur Z.
Caracole de la Roque (Zandor Z) under Karl Cook, Ambassador Z (Aganix du Seigneur Z) under Ines Joly, Coby 8 (Contagio Z) under Philipp Weishaupt, Ermitage Kalone (Catoki Z) under Gilles Thomas, Legacy (Chippendale Z) under Daniel Coyle, and also H&M Luna van ‘t Ruytershof (Levisto Z), Landon (Comilfo Plus Z), Sterrehof’s Dante (Canturano Z), Equitron Naxcel V (Balou du Rouet), Con Quidam RB (Quinar Z), … the list of offspring from Zangersheide stud stallions in the top of today’s showjumping sport is truly impressive! For over fifty years, we have striven to offer you the best contemporary stud stallions. Back in the day, we started with the generation of Almé Z and Ramiro Z, then evolved via Carthago Z and Zandor Z to Dominator Z, Aganix du Seigneur Z and Dourkhan Hero Z. Always on the hunt for the ultimate sport horse suppliers of the moment.
Today, we are incredibly proud of the performances of Epleaser van ’t Heike Z. A stunning 44% of his offspring are successful at 1.60m level. Dominator Z also continues to impress: he is the father of two world champions and one reserve world champion and can boast over fifty approved sons. Contagio Z adds another impressive extra, with offspring who have collectively earned more than 4.3 million in prize money.
This year, we say goodbye to Taloubet Z as he’s going to enjoy a well-earned retirement. Moments like these remind us that even legends cannot escape time, no matter how lively and impressive their achievements in the sport will always be. Taloubet Z, a constant in our catalogue since 2008, has had a lasting impact on our family, the sport and breeding.
With great enthusiasm, we welcome a number of auspicious newcomers. The first newcomer of this season is a true legend. Darry Lou Z, a stallion who has already made a name for himself in the sport, with countless wins, including the Rolex Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows in 2019 under Beezie Madden. We are happy and honoured to add this stallion to our catalogue. He’s not just an icon in the sport, but genetically an asset for our breeders too. What’s more, he will be available with fresh semen this year!
The second newcomer marks a milestone for Stud Farm Zangersheide. It is the first time our catalogue hosts a stallion with such striking colours. The 6-year-old J-Nius V.V. Z is already a sensation and shows enormous talent for his age. He stems from the impressive Ligie dam line and carries the blood of Chacco Blue, Quick Star and Ugano Sitte. We have already seen several exceptional foals by J-Nius V.V. Z. One of them his breathtaking daughter Jewel V.V. Z, who was the most expensive filly foal at the 2024 Zangersheide Quality Auction. Zangersheide is constantly scouting for young talent. Stallions like Dourkhan Hero Z, Dominator Z and Allroad Z were purchased at a very young age for both sport and breeding purposes. With success! This year, we again invested in young and amazing talent. The first is Champion 2000 Z, a young brother of Dominator Z and Allroad Z, sired by the influential Cornet Obolensky. At the latest stallion inspection, we also managed to acquire the impressive Gran Diablo Viktory Z who, with his lineage of Grandorado TN and proven mare Baluka Hero Z (Carthago Z), is set to inject new blood. Last but not least, a new Aganix du Seigneur Z son has found his way to our catalogue: Asgreen 2000 Z, bred out of Lady D van ’t Roosakker, a daughter of Electra van ’t Roosakker and a full sister to Kaprice and Kassander van ‘t Roosakker Z.
Our goal remains unchanged: to combine the best genetics with impeccable service, both in our office and the stallion station.
Lastly, I would like to invite you all to take a look at our website, where you can keep close track of the successes in the sport of our stallions and their offspring.
With joint efforts, we are working towards a fertile and successful stud season!
The emperor of Studfarm Zangersheide, the phenomenal Dominator 2000 Z, has mesmerized the crowds with his astounding performances at the most prestigious arenas around the globe. He won the CSI5* 1.60m GCT Grand Prix in Stockholm and Hamburg, secured victory at the CSI5* 1.60m GCL Playoff 2021 in Prague, and triumphed at the CSI5* 1.60m Grand Prix in Doha, alongside a plethora of podium finishes and accolades.
A son of Diamant de Semilly and the illustrious mare Cephale 2000, also known as the dam of the spectacular Allroad 2000 Z and Studfarm Zangersheides new stallion, Champion 2000 Z. Dominator Z himself has produced more than fifty approved sons, including the highly popular young stallion Devil 2000 Z, who is also available for stud services at Studfarm Zangersheide this season.
In sport, Dominator Z’s progeny is making waves and ascending the ranks in multitude and record speed. His oldest son D’Aganix Z already excels at 1.60m level under Christian Ahlmann and over 30 younger offspring are making waves at 1.45m – 1.50m level. He is the sire of 2021 World Champion for 5-year-olds, Querido VG Z, the 2023 Vice World Champion for 5-year-olds, Boleybawn Alvaro, and the 2024 World Champion for 5-year-olds, Orange de Baugy.
Highlighting Dominator Z’s status as one of the most influential stallions in the world, his offspring stand out with the same specific traits as their famous father: explosive take-off, immense power and bascule – destined to dominate in sport and leave a lasting legacy.

The mighty Aganix du Seigneur Z has proved himself as one of the most popular and influential sires in modern showjumping, renowned for passing on the traits that distinguished himself as an extraordinary performer: blood, reactiveness, and enormous scope. From hist first offspring, over a dozen already excel at 1.60m Grand Prix level including World Cup qualifier winner Agana van het Gerendal Z, the Olympic Maxwin Kinmar Agalux, and Ambassador Z, who won the Global Champions Grand Prix of St Tropez.
Given the outstanding quality and consistent performance, the demand for offspring of Aganix du Seigneur Z is skyrocketing, as evidenced by record auction sales like Nikora TSH, which was sold for an astounding 1,900,000 euros, and Ay Caramba Z, who reached 900,000 euros at Zangersheide Quality Jumpers – powered by MBA.
The success of Aganix du Seigneur Z as a sire is further underscored by an impressive lineup of approved sons, boasting over fifty licensed sons across various studbooks, including the rising stars from Studfarm Zangersheide’s own catalogue: Allroad Z, Ansingh de Lis Z, Asgreen 2000 Z and Ambassador Z.
One thing is clear: breeding with Aganix du Seigneur Z is a pathway to success!

In the world of elite showjumping, few names resonate as powerful as Dourkhan Hero Z does today. An abnormal talent, who under the saddle of Christian Ahlmann has proved to be one of the best young stallions in the world. Vice World Champion at the age of 7, made a jaw-dropping 1.60m level debut at the CSI5* LGCT Grand Prix in London at the age of 9, followed swiftly with two stunning back-to-back 4th place finishes in the 5* 160m Grand Prix’s in Monterrey, Mexico.
Dourkhan Hero Z is a son of Sea Coast Don’t Touch Tiji Hero, and the Zandor Z mare Zinka de Kalvarie Z, who also has produced Dourkhan’s 1.45m performing younger sister Qiara de Kalvarie and is a full sister to Johnny Pals’ 5* 1.60m Grand Prix mare Zarkava Hero Z.
Famous for his light-footed jumping style, impressive scope, and remarkable athleticism, Dourkhan Hero Z passes on these exceptional qualities to his offspring, confirming his status as a formidable force in both sport and in breeding. He has already produced an impressive line-up with approved stallions, like Dourking Hero Z, who was sold for 340,000 € during Zangersheide Stallion Auction 2024, and Studfarm Zangersheide’s Django Z and Dynamix Z, both standing stud with fresh semen in the 2025 season.
Dourkhan Hero Z, simply a league of his own.
Son of the the Olympic stallion For Pleasure, combined with Jos Lansink’s former 1.60m Grand Prix winner and World Equestrian bronze medalist Valentina van ‘t Heike (both among the best horses of their time) with Epleaser Z as a result. This combination proved to be a winning formula in many ways.
Winner of the Nations Cup in Aachen, winner of the 5* Grand Prix in Treffen, along numerous podium finishes at the highest level in his career with Christian Ahlmann, who still refers to Epleaser Z, as one of the most careful horses he has ever ridden..
During his sportscareer, Epleaser Z didn’t serve many mares, but the success rate of his progeny is nothing but exceptional. Recognized as the best sire of his generation. In 2023 he holds the title of the sire with the highest percentage of offspring competing at 1.60m level. In fact, even with such a relatively small number of progeny, Epleaser Z has nearly 40 offspring successfully competing at 1.50m to 1.60m level. This impressive list includes Angelika Augustson’s World Cup Winner Kalinka van de Nachtegaele, Gerfried Puck’s World Cup winner Equitron Melody vd Smidshoeve, and Grand Prix winners such as Maiken van der Vleuten’s Kamara van ‘t Heike, and Bryan Balsiger’s Everest v’t Hof V Eversem Z.
Proved and tested, Eplaser Z has establised himself as the best producer of his generation, and his trademark is: quality, blood and a winning instinct for sport!

Our blue-eyed phenomenon!
The showjumping world has rarely encountered a stallion with a presence as striking as the unique Caribis Z. Under Christian Ahlmann, he clinched victories in the 5* Grand Prix’s of Hong Kong and St. Tropez, as well as the World Cup in Leipzig. He has been placed in the Top 5, at 1.50m – 1.60m level, no less than 23 times, accumulating over a million Euros in prize money.
Born and bred at Stud Farm Zangersheide, out of the same family as the iconic As Cold As Ice Z, Caribis Z is the third generation of top performers. His dam Canasta Z performed at 1.60m level with Paris Sellon, and his granddam Carlaya Z was highly successful at the highest level with Judy Ann Melchior.
The breeders were overjoyed when Caribis Z first stood at stud in 2020. His initial crops are unmistakably stamped with the characteristic looks and qualities of their sire, as demonstrated by premium-awarded stallions and auction highlights such as Callulah de Lorette Z and Coco Z, the latter selling for €54,000 at Zangersheide Quality Jumpers – Powered by MBA.
Striking looks, blood, quality, and a fiercely competitive mentality, that’s what you get when breeding to Caribis Z.

At just 9 years old, she debuted at 1.55m level, finishing double clear and placed in the 5* 1.55m in Stuttgart.

Alongside Olivier Philippaerts, Extra Z, soared under the Belgian flag at some of the largest arenas in the world. With impressive achievements up to 1.70m level, he has amassed nearly half a million euros in prize money and he has wins to his name such as the Global Champions League of Al Shaqab, the Nations Cup of Rome, the Nations Cup final of Barcelona. His standout performance in Calgary, where he jumped two clear rounds, played a crucial role in Belgium’s victory in the prestigious Nations Cup of Spruce Meadows.

He is recognized as one of the best sons of the former World Champion Berlin and the Heartbreaker mare Wucinda, who is a sister to Andreas Knippling’s 1.55m Grand Prix mare, Mandy. Wucinda has also produced the 1.45m competitors Fort and Gluk, in addition to Samuel Hutton’s 1.60m performer, More Than Extra.
Throughout his sport career, Extra Z only served a select number of mares, but his offspring are certainly not lacking in quality or talent. Among the rising stars in sport, we see Extreme van de Kattevennen Z, currently competing at 1.45m level with Niamh McEvoy, alongside promising young talents in the younger tours such as Rockefella, Extraction vd Kattevennen Z and Skye Higgin’s Elton P.

You will receive the invoice for the remaining stud fee on the 1st day of the month of the expected birth of the foal. This invoice has to be paid at the latest 48 hours after birth of the foal.
