Incredibly fast, extremely careful and capacity in abundance…during his career in the sport Utamaro d’Ecaussines Z was among the best stallions worldwide successively under Joe Clee, William Whitaker and Niels Bruynseels. For years lots of breeders have impatiently been biding their time in the hope of using this fast athlete, but sport was always top priority and that resulted in numerous wins at the highest levels. Utamaro took part in the World Equestrian Games in Normandy and the European Championships in Aachen under Joe Clee. William Whitaker took the stallion along to the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, the European Championships in Gothenburg and they won the World Cup of London Olympia. Under Joe Clee, William Whitaker and Niels Bruynseels Utamaro jumped countless double clears in Nations Cup competitions. Stallions with the same standing as Utamaro d’Ecaussines Z are rare, which is why Studfarm Zangersheide is exceptionally grateful that Ludwig and Yasmine Criel have entrusted their pride and joy in their care. Utamaro d’Ecaussines Z is terribly careful, has heaps of blood and brims with capacity. ‘His qualities and model make him the ultimate horse for contemporary top sports! He is expected to add speed, blood and athleticism to many mares,’ his rider Niels Bruynseels says.
