Royal Z,
bred by the well known stud, Zangersheide,
epitomizes the successful formula of breeding Ramiro Z to
Alme Z mares. As a three year old he was third out of
seventeen stallions in the Danish Warmblood 100 day test.
Returning to Herning, site of the Danish National Stallion Show,
as a five year old Royal Z II won the young horse championship.
In 1995, he was named an elite Dansk Varmblod Stallion based on
his own performance record as well as the records of his
offspring.
A grand prix jumper in his own right, Royal Z II has sired both
top performing dressage horses and showjumpers globally. He has
produced licensed stallions in other countries including,
Radiant Skovgaard, a world cup winner. While he has sired many
main and head studbook mares, he is best known for siring
competition horses. These include Radiant, Resanto, Welten Z
Enemaerke, particularly Castana Enemaerke, who is ranked number
one worldwide in the top ten list of competition horses. Castana
won the bronze medal for Dansk Varmblod at the World Breeding
Championship.
At the Danish Warmblood Show, the Vilhelmesborg International
2000, six offspring of ROYAL Z II participated competing against
offspring of other top internationally known stallions. No other
stallion had so many offspring selected for this invitational
show. All six were placed by the judges and the panel gave three
awards. One of the judges, the former head of the Swedish
National Stud, Flyinge, declared it to be a remarkable feat
given the number of Royal Z II offspring that have been
exported. The offspring of Royal Z II are much desired by top
competition riders globally. Royal Z's sire, the licensed Holsteiner Stallion,
Ramiro Z, is the
top ranked sire of jumping horses in the World Breeding
Federation for Sport Horses Index. Under Fritz Ligges, Ramiro Z
won many Grand Prix classes. He has produced 50 licensed
stallions among whom include Robin Z II, the Swedish Stallion
Robin Z I and Ramses. Royal Z's damsire, Alme Z, a licensed Selle Francais
stallion, was
an international winner in numerous Grand Prix jumping classes.
He is sire of the world Champion, Galoubet and the World Cup
winner I Love You, as well as the Zangersheide Stallion,
Jalisco B. Royal Z's dam, Aleska Z has produced several licensed sons,
including Cordalme Z and Royal Z I.
