From 22 up to and including 24 July we will organise the 13th Z-Festival. For breeders these foal championships are always an objective standard for showjumping horse breeding. That is guarantees by the jury, whose members have earned their metal in breeding and trade and have their fingers on the pulse of the horse world. Besides the nomination of champions and finalists, Z-Festival is also the moment at which the selection is published for the Zangersheide Quality Auction which is traditionally held during the World Championships for Young Horses in September. This regular pattern of the foal championships on the one hand and the selection criterion for the auction on the other is now a tradition the breeders have become well familiar with.
Selection criterion WC
Also well-known by now are the Z-Show Jumping competitions for young Z-horses that take place during Z-Festival. New this year is that at Z-Festival we also use the Show Jumping competitions as qualifiers for the World Championships for 5- and 6-yr-olds. A first qualifier is scheduled for Saturday 23 July, the second on Sunday 24 July. The number of starting places for the WC is limited, we organise a regularity criterion for the Z-horses over four qualifiers, in which the top five after four rounds are rewarded with a seclection for the WC. There are two qualifiers in July and two in August.
3-yr-old champions
Also this year the jury will choose a champion and 2 reserve champions from the 3-yr-old z-horses in free jumping. New this year is that the jury will make a selection for an auction for 3-yr-olds that will be held in August. The horses thus selected will naturally undergo a veterinary examination performed by the vets from Zangersheide.
Besides the 3-, 5- and 6-yr-old Z-horses also the 4-yr-olds will jump on Sunday 24 July 2011.
