THE PHILOSOPHY
Female offspring:
Heureka Z left four daughters for breeding, which founded a whole dynasty
of show jumpers.
1. The oldest daughter Argentina Z (by Alme Z, born 1977) with
no doubt is the most important branch of the Heureka Z family. Argentina Z was
only used for breeding and is legendary for her crosses with Ramiro Z. Her male
offspring shows four approved sons, Rebel I Z (Ramiro Z), Rebel II Z (Ramiro
Z), Rebel III Z (Ramiro Z) and Rock Z (Rebel I Z).The oldest son, Rebel I Z,
is like before Ahorn Z a perfect example for the genetic dominance of the female
line. After his first season in Zangersheide (producing for example „Interpolo
Ready Z“) he was leased to Holstein in 1984 and 1985. During this period
he produced the approved stallions Redfort, Rabanus and international jumper
Rebella.
Remarkable and of much higher value however is the following generation of Rebel
I fillies in Holstein. Many approved stallions and international jumpers carry
the bloodline of Rebel I Z on the dam’s side. Only a few examples of this
are international jumpers Luxemburg (Walter Stein), Limited (Dirk Schroeder),
Palestro v/d Begijnakker (Koen Vereecke) as well as the approved stallions Laurin
Holstein, Dutch Capitol and Coronado.
Of course Rebel II Z as well deserves his share of attention with as famous
offspring as the approved stallions Rabiat Z, Rivaal Z, Ricardo Z and the jumper
Robyn Z.
Besides that Argentina Z produced three fillies with Ramiro Z, which are making
this lineage legendary: The youngest Renommee Z (1987) had a splendid sport
career and participated in the Olympic Games in Atlanta with R. Kierkegaard.
Roxan Z (1983) has been used for breeding only and is impressively proving,
that she is passing on the heritage of the successful stock with her approved
sons Freedom Z and Amateur Z as well as the jumpers Flash Z, Ramadam Z and Qroquant
Z. Latest highlight Roxan Z’s daughter Cayleigh Z with her second place
in the World Championship for Young Horses (6 year old division) in 2002!
