The story of Levisto Z at Zangersheide reads like a fairy tale. For years this gorgeous white stallion has inhabited the first stable on the block and he is the unchallenged king of the stallions. Aged 23, he still radiates the same class and style and is a picture of health. He inherited that hardiness from his dam Hirtin who, like Levisto Z himself, acted at 1.60m level and had a huge winner´s mentality. That mentality is one of the main reasons for choosing Levisto Z. His offspring are praised by riders across the world for their excellent personalities and the will to fight for their riders. Jennifer Gates’ Pumped Up Kicks still ranks as the top earner of Levisto Z offspring, but the young generations are chomping at the bit. Like La Belle Dame Z, a Levisto Z daughter out of Judy Ann Melchior’s Grande Dame Z, who recently came to Stephex Stables and is reaping success with Zoé Conter.
