Athlet Z

The grey stallion 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.

His first crop of young stock produced the world-class horse Athletico with Ludger Beerbaum and many more were to follow, including Argentinus (Otto Becker), Athlet (Willi Melliger), Amadeus (Lars Nieberg), Avion (Werner Peters &. Ludger Beerbaum), Andolph (Claudia Vasall), Montreal (Wim Schröder) and Valeska (Dr. Michael Rüping) .
