World Championships finalist for young show jumpers and international shooting star

Cosmos Z was licensed in Zangersheide and gave a taste of his outstanding jumping talent in 2018 at the World Championships for five-year-old show jumpers under Jan van Dyck/BEL, where he effortlessly reached the final. He then continued his career in the Youngster Tour and can boast his first international placings under Emanuele Camilli/ITA and Eiken Sato/JPN.

His first, extremely promising foals were born in Belgium.

Chellano Z competed in show jumping under Jos Lansink/BEL. Among his most successful offspring are Calvados Z under Christian Ahlmann and the World Cup finalist H&M Challenge vd Begijnakker Z/Ludo Philippaerts/BEL. Chellano Z died early, and was the first stallion to be cloned. In addition to Cosmos Z, his clone Chellano Alpha Z produced four other licensed sons, including Capuccino JW vd Moerhoeve Z. His first offspring are placed internationally.

The dam Aida Z produced three more licensed sons in Belgium: Air Borne Z (by Air Jordan)/Emanuel Andrade/VEN, Cartos Z (by Candillo)/Nick Benterman/GBR and Sleipnir Z (by Solid Gold Z). Ceazor Z (by Concord Z)/Tariq Khrisat/JOR.

The Hanoverian dam’s sire Loro Piana Artos Z was twice in the World Cup final with Mark Leone/USA. He himself is a son of Almé Z, which leads to an interesting inbreeding of this legendary line founder in the pedigree of Cosmos Z. Although Artos Z did not sire too many offspring himself due to his sport, they almost without exception competed in the absolute top sport, such as his daughter As Cold As Ice Z, who won bronze at the World Championships for Young Show Jumpers at the age of seven and was part of the victorious Belgian team at the Nations Cup Final in Barcelona/ESP in 2015 under Judy Ann Melchior/BEL. His five sons Action Z, Amadeus Z, Rothchild, Acardi du Houssoit Z and the premium stallion Aristo Z were licensed and all went internationally successful.

The granddam Cherry Z was placed internationally in 1.60 metre jumping competitions. She produced the international show jumpers Carry Z/Judy-Ann Melchior/BEL, Careko Z (both by Caretano Z)/Angelique Rüsen and Cybele Z (by Comme il faut)/Kirsten Rombouts/BEL. Her daughter Carry Z (by Caretano Z) became the dam of the stallions Astano Z (by Asca Z) and Copycat Z (by Comilfo Plus Z).

Carthago, in the third generation, took part in the Olympic Games in Atlanta/USA and Sydney/AUS with Jos Lansink/BEL. He also won the Nations Cups of Aachen, Rotterdam/NED and La Baule/FRA and is also considered one of the most influential sons of Capitol I in terms of breeding.

From the third dam Alpha Z, the four licensed stallions Robin I Z/Peter Eriksson/SWE, Robin II Z (both by Ramiro Z)/Thomas Velin/DEN, Quasimodo Z (by Quick Star) and Chimba Z (by Caretano Z).

Hanoverian line of Norbilla, from which many other top show jumpers and stallions such as Chester Z (by Carthago), Caesarro Z (by Carthago), Carlo Z (by Caretano Z), Cosmic Z (by Carthago), Cracky Z (by Caretano Z), Cartree Z (by Caretano Z), Alnok Z (by Atlantus Z), Obelisk-B Z (by Ovatio), Dejan HMD Z (by Diamant de Semilly), Casper Z (by Carthago), etc.
