By Caretano Z out of Akita Z x Aktionär
Champagne was bred at Studbook Zangersheide in Belgium, and imported to Canada in 2002. Her sire, Caretano Z, was one of Zangersheide's most promising young stallions before his untimely death. As a seven year old, Caretano Z won the prestigious World Cup Breeding Championship for Young Horses in Belgium under Jos Lansink. This team then made an impressive debut at the World Cup Finals in Gothenburg. Caretano Z descends from the famous Holsteiner lineage 104a. Champagne's mare line, Stamm 7126, is a unique Holsteiner lineage that has produced horses such as Accord I, II and III, Acobat I, II and III, Aktionär I and II, Burgraaf, Athletico, and Catango Z. In Spring 2008 Champagne produced her fourth foal, a gorgeous filly by Chopin!
