Wodka II

Wodka has proved herself as a fantastic 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 studbook 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 is by Lord out of Ramiro Z mare. Lord won the stallion approval in 1969 and quickly became a successful sire. In 1994 alone, his progeny won over 355,000 DM in Germany. Lord’s lifetime progeny earnings exceed 3 million DM and include some of the world’s top names, including Armerica I, Top Seed (Anne Kursinski), Indeed (Anne Kursinski), L’Eperon, Lordon, Lord Z, Latinus, Montanus, Jump, BB Comtessa, Elmshorn, Landsohn, Lord Caletto, Ligorett and many others.

Ramiro Z (Wodkas maternal grand sire) needs no introduction; he was himself an international show jumper and one of the world’s most influential sires. Ramiro Z has sired many approved stallions; show jumpers, and international dressage horses. Offspring of Ramiro Z include Ratina Z, the winner of the Olympic team gold and individual silver in Barcelona and team gold in Atlanta.
