Zip Z

Zip Z is by world famous Zandor Z who has had huge success jumping internationally with Jos Lansink, being placed 2nd in the Hachenburg and Geesteren Grand Prixs and 3rd in the best rewarded Grand Prix of Europe in Aach. The pedigree of Zandor Z is of extremely rare quality. Sire Zeus has a great reputation as jumping progenitor and has produced many international super-jumpers, including Midnight Madness {Michael Whitaker}, Hauser’s Zypria (Dirk Hauser}, Virtual Village Zalza (Nick Skelton} etc. Zandor Z inherits his jumping genes not only from Zeus, but also from his dam Pusteblume (Polydor} who was internationally very successful herself by the name of Sprehe Padua under Ralf Schneider. Padua’s dam is the Holstein Ascona (Aladin} from lineage 4965, who, in combination with Polydor, produced the following successful international jumpers:

Sonora La Silla (Jan Tops} - winner Goteborg and London World Cup qualifiers

Sprehe Padua (Ralf Schneider} - winner ’98 Championnat von Dortmund

Poor Boy (Beat Mändli} - winner ’98 World Cup qualifier in Berlin

Pikes Peak (Volker Höltgen} - winner S-level of DM 100,000

Sonora La Silla is dam of the international show jumper Zodiac (Holger Hetzel}, like Zandor Z a son of Zeus. This originally Holstein family has also produced the international jumper Daesy (Alcatraz} from Hauke Luther and the successful jumping stallion Clinton (Carolus I} from Thomas Voss.

Zip Z’s damn is by the international grade A Purioso out of a Nimmerdor mare. Nimmerdor needs no introduction, in 2000 he was voted the stallion of the century in Holland.

Zip Z is a new addition to the stallions at High Offley Stud, purchased in 2001 from the Zangershiede stud, he has quality that you would expect, a fine temperament and a very powerful jump and agood technique.
