Sire Zinelord VDL is already impressing in the ring with his exceptional jumping style, power, and attitude — a young promise for the future. His sire, Zinedream, claimed multiple victories including the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi and the World Cup of Riyadh. Zinedream’s father, Zinedine, competed successfully at 1.60m level under Ludger Beerbaum, and has produced numerous talented offspring in breeding.
Zinedream was bred out of the proven Contender daughter Panam Air, who also produced the Grand Prix stallion Quiwi Dream. Zinelord's grandsire, Lordanos, is among the most successful stallions from the German L-line, known for producing top jumpers such as Lord Sandro DDH, HH Let’s Fly, Light On, and Legolas.
Zinelord's dam is the renowned mare Lou, who jumped at 1.60m level with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum. In breeding, the Lordanos daughter has also proven herself, producing the 1.50m-level horse Van Lou and the 1.45m horse Call Me Lewis in the USA.
The dam of this stunning foal is Jboxynula, descending from the prestigious Holsteiner damline 4847. She already produced the approved stallion Z Rebel Blue by Zirocco Blue. Jboxynula is a daughter of GEMINI xx, a clone of the legendary Gem Twist xx, a thoroughbred legend already crowned during his lifetime. Thanks to Gemini CL xx, Zucchero Z carries those highly valued and sought-after full-blood genes, contributing to sharpness, endurance, and blood diversity.
Gem Twist xx is considered one of the best showjumpers of all time. He won two silver Olympic medals in Seoul, was named Best Horse at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, and was crowned Horse of the Year three times. Gem Twist stands for 100% Thoroughbred, unmatched ability, willingness to work, and top-level performance.
For a long time, Gem Twist’s genes were unavailable for breeding, but thanks to Gemini, that has changed — and not without success. His first crops (born in 2013 and 2014) have lived up to the breeders' expectations.
In international showjumping, Gemini's descendants are already emerging up to 1.50m level, including:
Night Light van ’t Ruytershof (Philippe Rozier)
Piaf Horta (Laura Monier)
Private Dancer van ’t Meulenhof (Jana Wargers)
Nobel vd Bisschop (Sabrina van Rijswijk)
Next Twist van ’t Ruytershof (Francesco Turturiello)
and the approved stallions Ganesh Hero Z (Carlos Hank Guerreiro) and Nibali van het Eikenhof (Shane Dwan)
Holsteiner damline 4847
Granddam Boxynula-N descends from the top sire Argentinus. The damline traces back to Hinula, a full sister to the German stallions Lancer I–III. She produced, among others, the international 1.50m horse Unlimited (by Voltaire) ridden by Loisse Garcia Padron, several 1.35m-level showjumpers, and well-tested daughters. Moreover, Hinula is also the granddam of the talented stallion Chin Quidam VDL (by Chin Chin), who won the prestigious Youngster Cup Final in Aachen with Darragh Kenny in 2014.
This damline also produced stallions such as Lancer I & II, Hinault, Lados, and numerous international performers including Cher (Piet Raaymakers), Classic Woman (Markus Renzel), White Jumper (Ben Schröder), and Carlos Boy (Ken Berkley).
