About Randel Z

Randel Z is a (died 2015) dark bay Hannoveraner showjumping stallion foaled in 1984, by Ramiro Z out of a Almé Z dam.

Randel Z was a show jumping stallion born in Germany in 1984 and registered with the Hannoveraner studbook. He was the progeny of the esteemed Holsteiner sire Ramiro Z and Alaric Z, showcasing a lineage celebrated for its accomplishments in equestrian sports. Leon Melchior bred Randel Z at Zangersheide in Belgium, integrating the superior performance traits of his forebears, which distinguished him as a breeding sire. While Randel Z himself did not achieve competition success, his impact is visible in the achievements of his offspring. Through his genetic legacy and strategic breeding, Randel Z has been instrumental in fostering numerous top-tier show jumping participants, thus continuing the tradition of excellence in sport horse breeding.

Randel Z's impact on show jumping is largely attributed to his successful offspring, most notably Cortes 'C'. Cortes 'C' garnered international recognition competing with Beezie Madden, being named 'Best Horse' at the Final Four of the World Equestrian Games in Normandy in 2014 as a result of exemplary performances. Randel Z sired other competitive descendants such as Quebec and Romino Infante d'O2, further cementing his reputation as a producer of formidable show jumping talents.

Randel Z died in 2015 at Haras des Aucels, France. Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
