"His sire Epleaser is a son of the Olympic stallion For Pleasure, who is partnered by Valentina van 't Heike, Grand Prix winner at 1.60 m and WEG bronze medallist with Jos Lansink (both among the best horses of their time).
A crossover that proved a winning formula in many respects.
Winner of the Nations Cup in Aachen, winner of the Grand Prix 5* in Treffen, as well as numerous podium finishes at the highest level during his career with Christian Ahlmann, who still speaks of Epleaser Z as one of the most respectful horses he has ever ridden.
During his sporting career, Epleaser Z has not covered many mares, but the success rate of his offspring is quite simply exceptional. He is recognized as the best stallion of his generation. In 2023, he holds the title of the sire with the highest percentage of offspring at 1.60 m. In fact, even with a relatively small number of offspring, Epleaser Z has nearly 40 offspring who have competed successfully at 1.50 m to 1.60 m. This impressive list includes Kalinka van de Nachtegaele, World Cup winner with Angelika Augustson, Equitron Melody vd Smidshoeve, World Cup winner with Gerfried Puck, and Grand Prix winners such as Kamara van 't Heike with Maikel van der Vleuten or Everest v 't Hof V Eversem Z with Bryan Balsiger.
Eplaser Z has established himself as the best sire of his generation and his signature is quality, blood and a winning sporting mentality! "Zangersheide
