SIRE: Arturo 8's sire Athlet Z (Almé Z x Gotthard) was bred at Zangersheide, Athlet Z developed into a producer of many international showjumping horses, such as Adelfos (Markus Fuchs), Almox Athletico (Ludger Beerbaum), Valeska (Michael Rüping), Sprehe Avion (Ludger Beerbaum) etc. Athlet Z was the first Hanoverian to be used in Holstein breeding for many years – although while he wore the Hanoverian brand, his bloodlines were a heady continental cocktail. His sire Almé was one of the treasures of French breeding, spirited away by Belgian breeder, Leon Melchior to stand at his Zangersheide stud, before returning triumphantly to France to end his days on Bernard le Courtois’ Brullemail Stud in Normandy.

However on his dam’s side, Athlet Z descends from that pillar of Hanoverian breeding, Gotthard, and on the dam line, to an even earlier pillar – Feiner Kerl.

DAM: Wodka (Lord x Ramiro Z) was a prolific brood mare with no less than three international stallions Arturo 8, Sandstone Conway who is universally recognized in Europe and the U.S. as one of the most promising young jumper prospects. Showing in the preliminary division in 1996, he had 49 out of 51 rounds clear. Sandstone Conway is an extraordinary horse that demonstrated carefulness and a winning spirit from the beginning. In 1997 he was the high point qualifier for the P.C.H.A. Jimmy William’s Futures Finals. He also won the $10,000 GMAC Mortgage Jumping Derby at Pebble Beach. Sandstone Conway is the winner of two Grand Prix. He is also an outstanding athlete as well as a top-breeding stallion. The third son of Wodka is Clearway by Capitol I who is an up and coming stallion in the Holstein breeding society and has already achieved wide acclaim as both a jumper and a breeding stallion in Europe. In 2003 one of his offspring was entered into the Zangersheide auction at the World Breeding Championships.

Wodka`s Sire Lord was a prolific breeder of showjumping horses his first crop produced the international showjumper, Livius who won the 1980 German Showjumping Derby under Peter Luther, and then team medals at the 1981 European Championships, the World Championships of 1982 and the 1984 Olympic Games. Other successful competitors by Lord include Luguna (K. Huck}, Lafeyette (H. Schmidt}, Actrice (C. O. Nagel}, Lusius (E. Gundel} and Pedro who competed at the World Championships in Dublin with Thomas Frühmann, Loyal 9 (P. Nagel-Tornau} and many more. Successful sire sons include Lantaan in Holstein, and the sadly short-lived, Lord Liberty in Oldenburg.

In all, Lord sired more than 60 stallion sons, and his progeny won more than Euro 3,000.000.

Wodka's grand sire was the legendary Ramiro Z who is one of the most successful breeding stallions of all time, Ramiro Z has sired many successful showjumper's & dressage horse but is probably best known for the mare of the century Ratina Z who won olympic medal at two olympic games with different riders as well as winning the world cup final with Ludger Beerbaum.
