From 16–22 December, the Zangersheide Christmas Special is online and open for bidding. The Christmas Special is an exclusive auction that loyal clients eagerly look forward to each year. It brings together a selection of high-quality young horses, carefully chosen by Zangersheide.
This collection includes, among others, Aaliyah Z, a 6-year-old mare showing great quality and scope for the higher levels of the sport; Tortuga van de Trepkes, a 6-year-old finalist of the Belgian Championship for Young Horses; and Cloud Catcher SPB Z, an athletic 6-year-old gelding bursting with power.
As one of the strongest and most anticipated collections to close out the year, the Christmas Special offers a standout opportunity for riders and buyers to strengthen their string of horses for the season ahead.
We invite you to discover a few of the highlights below:
Aaliyah Z (Asca Z x Artos Z)
Aaliyah Z is a 6-year-old daughter of Asca Z out of Arctic Ice Z, the full sister of As Cold As Ice Z, who excelled at 1.60m level under Judy Ann Melchior and won, among others, the Nations Cups of Barcelona, Hickstead, and Lisbon.
Aaliyah Z is a quality mare who is very rideable. She has plenty of scope and a powerful hind end. A high-quality mare who is ready to start her career.
Tortuga van de Trepkes (Chacoon Blue x Ugano Sitte)
Tortuga van de Trepkes is a particularly beautiful 6-year-old mare who has already gained a great deal of competition experience under Seppe Wouters, including competing in the final of the Belgian Championship for 6-year-old horses in Gesves.
Tortuga is a daughter of Chacoon Blue out of Ugano Sitte and inherited her looks, athleticism, and quick foreleg from both stallions. A mare to keep an eye on, ready for the 7-year-old classes.
Cloud Catcher SPB Z (Comilfo Plus Z x Diamant Z)
Cloud Catcher SPB Z is a tall and powerful son of Comilfo Plus Z. His dam, Do SPB Z, is a sister of Andreas SPB Z (Air Jordan Z), who jumped at 1.55m level under João Eduardo Ferreira de Carvalho.
Cloud Catcher SPB Z is full of scope and, despite his size, possesses the sportiness and athleticism typical of Comilfo Plus Z.
