Studbook
Studbook Zangersheide vzw was founded in 1992 by Léon Melchior with the ambition to breed showjumper horses of the highest quality. Performance breeding with the focus on showjumpers, across national borders. Studbook Zangersheide vzw triggered a revolution in the showjumper world which until then had been a regional and protectionist affair. Nowadays Studbook Zangersheide ranks with the largest and most dominant studbooks in the world and across the world more than 10,000 foals per year are registered with that characteristic ‘Z’ suffix behind their names. Zangersheide horses are competitive, fast and perfectly adapted to the contemporary showjumping sport, which is why they are so incredibly popular all over the world. Think for example of Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z, Beauville N.O.P. Z and Dominator 2000 Z who week after week excel at the largest events in the world!
Studbook Zangersheide, established in 1992, is the fruit of the passion and vision of its founder Léon Melchior, who lived to make the breeding of showjumper horses his life’s work. Over the years Zangersheide has blossomed into a leading expertise- and practice centre at the forefront of modern showjumper breeding.
