You won’t find pears under an apple tree…. it’s a philosophy Zangersheide has stuck to for more than sixty years. All former top sport mares are invariably used for breeding after their careers. It was no different for Judy Ann Melchior’s Carry Z (Caretano Z). In combination with Comilfo Plus Z she produced stallion Copycat Z in 2013, who is presently working his way up in the international scene with Harrie Smolders. A year later Darwin Z was born, a son of black phenomenon Dominator Z. Judy Ann has ridden dam Carry Z as well as sire Dominator Z and she is one of the biggest fans of the young and hugely promising Darwin Z:

“For us Darwin Z is a very special horse indeed. He is high-legged and noble, something that harks directly back to his sire Dominator Z. He is also gorgeously beautiful and very light to ride. He jumps like a modern sport horse and can tread in the footsteps of his older brother Copycat Z.
