Zangersheide shows its colours

Lanaken - The gold medal at the EC in Vienna, 1977, meant a breakthrough for the Dutch team after 41 years of absence from the honourary platforms at international championships.

The fantastic Olympic results of the Dutch riders, male and female, in Sydney form a recent highlight in a success series that started 23 years ago with gold for the Dutch team as well as individual gold for ex-national coach Johan Heins, Studfarm Zangersheide's rider at the time. His former boss Léon Melchior: "I am a little proud of the fact that it have been our riders and our horses who played a prominent role in bridging the 41 year gap. The Dutch are still picking the fruit thereof today."

Unlike the Netherlands, Belgium, with the only and great exception of the excellent performance of Ludo Philippaerts and his wonder-horse RBG Ottorongo, had little impact in Sydney. Melchior: "Our black-yellow-red jumping team is still building up steam. Going to the Olympics with just one rider, that's a thing we have to do something about. That is why Zangersheide shows its colours. Our jumping stables are on Belgian territory, out international Studbook is established and recognized in Belgium and our young horses are ridden by Belgian riders. We want to accentuate our Belgian involvement."

The affinity with the Belgian top-league even dates from before the red-white-blue breakthrough in Rome. In 1976 'Fifi' Mathy won both individual and team bronze on the BWP-product Gai Luron (by Flügel van La Roche), a jumper that had been made available to him by Léon Melchior. All Zangersheide's sport horses have now been registered under the Belgian sport federation KBRSF. Léon Melchior: "They will be starting for Belgium next year and therefore under Belgian riders, except for Jos Lansink. Maybe Jos Lansink will follow in the trail of, for instance, Hugo Simon, Frank Sloothaak, Leslie McNaught and Peter Charles and change nationality. But that's up to him."

Show jumping, also known as "stadium jumping," "open jumping," or "jumpers," is a member of a family of English riding equestrian events that also includes dressage, eventing, hunters, and equitation. Jumping classes commonly are seen at horse shows throughout the world, including the Olympics. Sometimes shows are limited exclusively to jumpers, sometimes jumper classes are offered in conjunction with other English-style events, and sometimes show jumping is but one division of very large, all-breed competitions that include a very wide variety of disciplines. Jumping classes may be governed by various national horse show sanctioning organizations, such as the United States Equestrian Federation in the USA. International competitions are governed by the rules of the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI).

A show jumper must have the scope and courage to jump large fences as well as the athletic ability to handle the sharp turns and bursts of speed necessary to navigate the most difficult courses. Many breeds of horses have been successful show jumpers, and even some grade horses of uncertain breeding have been champions. Most show jumpers are tall horses, over 16 hands (64 inches, 163 cm), usually of Warmblood or Thoroughbred breeding, though horses as small as 14.1 hands (57 inches, 145 cm) have been on the Olympic teams of various nations and carried riders to Olympic and other international medals. There is no correlation between the size of a horse and its athletic ability, nor do tall horses necessarily have an advantage when jumping. Nonetheless, a taller horse may make a fence appear less daunting to the rider.

Ponies also compete in show jumping competitions in many countries, usually in classes limited to youth riders, defined as those under the age of 16 or 18 years, depending on the sanctioning organization. Pony-sized horses may, on occasion, compete in open competition with adult riders. The most famous example was Stroller, who only stood 14.1 hands (57 inches, 145 cm) but was nonetheless an Individual silver medal winner and part the United Kingdom's show jumping team in the 1968 Summer Olympics, jumping one of the few clean rounds in the competition. Significant jumpers from the United States are included in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame.

The Royal Warm blood Studbook of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Vereniging Warmbloed Paardenstamboek Nederland (KWPN)) is the registry and studbook for Dutch Warmblood Sport Horses. Breeders of the Royal Dutch Sporthorse have been organised for many years. A breeding registry of horses traditionally referred to as warmbloods dates back to 1887. Initially, numerous regional studbook organisations populated the Netherlands with definite rivalries existing between them. Over time, breeders realised that working together toward a common goal would be more effective than working separately. One by one, the studbooks began to merge.

In the end, two remained. The NWP (North Netherlands Warmblood Horse Studbook) representing the north of the Netherlands and the VLN (Organisation for the Advancement of Agricultural Harness Horse Breeding in the Netherlands) representing the rest of the country. The NWP and VLN studbooks merged in 1970 and became known as the Warmblood Horse Studbook in the Netherlands (WPN). In 1988, Her Majesty Queen Beatrix bestowed the title Royal on the organisation to mark its 100 year anniversary as an official Warmblood studbook. Since then, it has been called The Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands, also known by the Dutch acronym KWPN.

The KWPN breeding goal has been continually revised over the decades based on practical need. Initially, horses were bred for farm work. These horses varied in type by region, and type was primarily determined by regional soil conditions. The heavy Groning type dominated the clay soil areas, while the lighter Gelder type dominated the pasture lands. After World War II, mechanisation replaced the horse's pulling power, significantly altering the traditional bond between the farmer and the horse. During this period, equestrian sport, which had been reserved for wealthy citizens and army officers, became popular.

The sport demanded a different kind of horse, which required a new breeding program. Using Thoroughbred stallions and stallions from horse breeding regions in France and Germany, breeders, over time, transformed the agricultural horse of old into the modern sport horse. This transformation occurred in relatively short time. The old existing selection against genetic defects was supplemented with new strict selections for desired conformation and movement. The stallion selection process was continuously revised in order to approve stallions that would demonstrably advance the desired breeding goal.

Even now, nowhere in the world are stallions so strictly selected for conformation, movement, health, temperament, and sport ability as within the KWPN. Furthermore, its offspring selection is unique compared with other riding horse studbooks. The KWPN horse holds a leading position worldwide in both the jumping and dressage disciplines. The keuring system offers an evaluation of horses against the standard for KWPN horses worldwide. Information is compiled on the keuring results, thereby providing feedback for breeders and the community at large on the success of various bloodlines and breeding choices. Mares and stallions can also receive ‘predicates’ based on the quality of their offspring at keuringen. A keuring is an educational and marketing opportunity.

Predicates often appear after a horse’s name and recognise different aspects of merit. Ster, awarded to mares who have been presented at a keuring and achieved 145 points from the conformation assessment and either the movement or jumping assessment. The mare should have at least 70 points for the conformation assessment and 60 points for movement. Keur, awarded to mares and approved stallions. Mares are awarded the predicate voorlopig (provisional) keur when they excel in movement and conformation at the Central Keuring. To earn the keur-predicate, they have to complete a performance test with sufficient marks or be presented in the sport. Approved stallions can be awarded the keur status if they have offspring of at least 7 years of age that excel in both sport as at keuringen.

The predicate PROK is awarded to mares that passed the same rigorous veterinary examination as KWPN approved stallions. Elite, awarded to mares who have fulfilled the requirements for keur AND have a PROK certificate. Sport (springen/dressuur/samengesteld/tuig), awarded to mares that have performed at Z2 + 1 winningpoint level dressage (dres) or Z+ 6 level jumping (spr) or Z+5 cross country (sgw) or have been awarded a certain amount of winning points in harness (tuig). Preferent, awarded to mares and approved stallions. Mares are awarded this predicate when three or more offspring are awarded the ster predicate. Stallions are awarded this predicate when they have offspring of at least 11 years of age, that excel in both sport as at keuringen. Prestatie, awarded to mares who have three or more offspring awarded that have competed to a particular level in either dressage, show jumping, cross country or harness.

The only approved and registered Hanoverian stallions1 in Australia accepted by the Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia (HHSA) for the 2008-2009 breeding season have the annotation of (HHSA).

The Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia (HHSA) does accept other stallions that are unregistered in Australia, however extra fees apply. Please contact the registrar for further details.

Frozen semen only.

Licensed stallion: the first step towards becoming an approved breeding stallion is Licensing. A breeding stallion is licensed by the Hanoverian Society or the Hannoveraner Verband in Germany. This process is usually performed at 2½ years of age and is only the first part of the breeding approval for Hanoverian stallions. Stallions can be licensed by different breed societies, so it is important to check with the HHSA Registrar for which breed societies the stallion is licensed.

Performance Tested Stallion: the second step towards becoming an approved breeding stallion is the Performance Test. A stallion is only performance tested after he is successfully Licensed. Traditionally in Hannover, this was a 100 day test at a selection of testing stations, such as Adelheidsdorf. More recently, 70 day tests are accepted or a 30 day test plus a qualification for the Bundeschampionate. Hanoverian stallions must receive a score of 90 to be approved. Other stallions licensed by different breed societies must achieve a score of 120 or higher to be accepted by the Hanoverian Society, thus ensuring that only the best of non-Hanoverian blood is used.

Licensed through Sport: if a stallion has been Licensed with the Hanoverian Society and the Performance Test is not completed, he can instead, fulfil the performance requirements through sport. A stallion can be accepted as a breeding stallion if he fulfils all of the requirements of a Licensed stallion, provides a full Veterinary report (including x-rays) and has successfully competed at Prix St Georges Dressage, B Grade Showjumping or Medium/Advanced 3DE at FEI approved competitions. There are certain requirements at these levels and this can be obtained from the Society.

Stallions accepted for Hanoverian Breeding: a stallion is only accepted for breeding with the Hanoverian Verband or the HHSA if he has successfully been Licensed AND Performance Tested with the appropriate scores OR successfully Licensed and achieved the performance requirements through sport.

Breeders should always check with the Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia (HHSA) Registrar before purchasing semen or signing breeding contracts to ensure that the stallion they plan to use is accepted by the Hanoverian Society. Stallions cannot advertise that they are licensed Hanoverian Stallions, or use the H logo, unless they have been fully approved with the Hanoverian Society.

Chellano Z

Chellano Z is a son of the successfully breeding Calypso II son Contender, who has produced several fine sport horses and more than 30 licensed sons. Dam of Chellano Z, state premium mare Fayence (Cor de la Bryère) is a very interesting dam, for she is a full sister to the stallions Corrado I and II. Corrado I was a very successful international jumper under Franke Sloothaak, winning amongst others the World Cup Finals of Aarhus and Dortmund in '94 and '95.

Corrado II is still young and was only licensed in Holstein in 1994, where he performed well in jumping. Grandam of Chellano Z is the famous dam Soleil, a daughter of the jumping progenitor Capitol I, who has produced several super horses such as Carthago Z, Cento, Cassini I and Capriol. The female line of Soleil goes back through Maestose xx and the jumping progenitor Frivol xx to the mare Contiane (Fanal x Heinzelmann) from lineage 6879 (see Z-Magazine no. 3 '99). In those days Holstein was already breeding for sport performance. Contiane had two full sisters, Baden and Original Holsatia, who have both been successful international jumpers. Baden jumped in the Helsinki Olympics and Original Holsatia claimed numerous successes under the reputable Fritz Thiedemann. In this famous lineage we also find the international jumper Landlord (Landgraf I), with Ludger Beerbaum winner of, amongst others, the Maastricht and Wolfsburg Grand Prix, and Lausbub (Landgraf I) winner of the Hamburg Derby under Achaz von Buchwald. Under Jeroen Hanson Chellano Z won last year's prestigious Hendrix Cup, a competition for young horses.

CHAMPION DU LYS

Ludger Beerbaum won the Burg Stables Prix for 6/7/8-yr-olds at 1997 CSO Valkenswaard on Champion du Lys. Champion du Lys started his sport career in 1994 in Mexico by the name of Sinatra under young rider Joaquin Perez, who won two championships on him in the USA. As a 5-yr-old the Mexican international rider Gerardo Tazzer jumped the grey under his original name and won the Silver Cup and the Mexican Championship for young horses (plus a car). The following year Champion du Lys jumped 33 category 1.30m and 1.40m classes, of which he won 21. In Monterrey he was third in the Derby. As a 7-yr-old he jumped twelve classes in Mexico (seven wins) before moving to Europe. Tazzer won another 1.40m competition in Geesteren before the stallion was sold to the coach of the German dressage team, Madeleine Winter-Schulze, to be made available to Ludger Beerbaum. Champion's sire Laeken is state stud stallion of Saint Lô; he was born in 1977 out of a BWP mare (by Flügel, Han.) It is already remarkable that a stallion with his kind of pedigree - foreign warmblood - was licensed in France, but that he was also purchased by the French government is truly unique. Laeken has a jumping index (BSO) of +19 with a reliability of 91 percent. Champion's dam Karène du Lys has a breeding value of 116 (81 percent).

Cheerful Z - Show Jumping

Cheerful Z's sire Caretino is, like Calvin Z, by the superb jumping progenitor Caletto II. Caletto II supplied many top-class horses such as the '92 Olympic jumping champion Classic Touch (Ludger Beerbaum) and Operette La Silla (Jan Tops). Caretino, who jumped at international level himself under Bo Kristoffersen and later Ludger Beerbaum, has also been very successful in breeding. Dega (Johansson) and Ballerina are two of his products with international performances. Ballerina even earned a gold medal for the German team at the '97 Mannheim European Championship under Markus Merschformann. Dam Rheinrose is a daughter of Fabulus, who, like Farn, is a son of Fax I. Fabulus also sired the stallion Flamenco and we meet him again in the pedigree of the great mare Osterblume, who produced three international showjumping horses and several licensed stallions including Landfalk (Landgraf I), Camposanto (Carthago Z) and Pirano (Piaster). Cheerful Z jumped the 1997 and 1998 World Championships for Young Horses at Lanaken in the 6- and 7-yr-old categories and is presently doing very well at international level under Jos Lansink.
