About Chellano Z
Chellano Z is a (died 2006) Dark Bay Zangersheide showjumping stallion foaled in 1993, by Contender out of a Cor de la Bryere dam.
Chellano Z was a Zangersheide stallion born in 1995 with an impressive showjumping pedigree. He belonged to the Holsteiner breed, tracing back to a notable lineage. His father, Contender, was a son of Calypso II and a descendant of the famed Cor de la Bryère. Chellano Z's mother, Fayence, was directly sired by Cor de la Bryère, ensuring his prestigious lineage for producing elite showjumping horses. Although details of Chellano Z's own competition record are limited, his capability as a breeding stallion is acknowledged widely in equestrian circles. He was registered with the UELN DE321210134095 in the Holsteiner studbook. Following his death in 2006, his line was perpetuated by his clone, Chellano Alpha Z. His significant impact on horse breeding, especially in showjumping, is reflected in his inclusion in major studbooks and the esteemed position of his offspring in competitions.
Chellano Z's legacy is most evidently alive in his impressive progeny, who have excelled on the international showjumping stage. Among his notable offspring is VDL Edgar M, who reached acclaim under the guidance of Marlon Modolo Zanotelli achieving victory at a CSI5* competition over 1.60m in Geneva, Switzerland. Another progeny, Toledo Z, demonstrated significant promise by achieving a high final score during the KWPN performance test and competing at the 1.30m level, further underscoring the inherited talent and potential from Chellano Z. These offspring illustrate his continuing influence in the showjumping world.
Chellano Z died in 2006 (not documented). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
