About Zambesi TN

Zambesi TN is a Bay showjumping stallion foaled in 2004, by Heartbreaker out of a Calvaro Z dam.

Zambesi TN is a bay stallion born in 2004, registered with the KWPN studbook. Bred by Team Nijhof, he boasts a notable pedigree within the showjumping sport horse domain. His sire is Heartbreaker, known for exceptional reflexes and a positive attitude, with ancestors including Nimmerdor and Farn. On his dam’s side, he descends from Calanda Z, a progeny of Calvaro Z, all pivotal in sport horse breeding. As a young competitor, Zambesi TN displayed significant talent, qualifying for the World Championships finals in Lanaken at six years old. Guided by Sjaak Sleiderink, he triumphed in the KWPN Stallion Competition, winning three classes, the final, and the overall in Den Bosch. He competed successfully at the 1.45m level before focusing on breeding. Recognised by studbooks like KWPN, Zangersheide, Oldenburg OS, and Hannover, Zambesi TN’s genetic impact is substantial, with successful progeny in showjumping.

Zambesi TN has established a robust legacy through his offspring, many of which have made their mark in competitive showjumping. Notable among them are Fruselli and Fabregas, both competing at the 1.60m level, thereby continuing Zambesi's influence in high-level showjumping arenas. In addition, progeny such as Heolita and Gomez have demonstrated competitive vigour at the 1.50m level, emphasising Zambesi's impact on international showjumping standards. With 60 of his offspring performing at 1.40m or higher, Zambesi's sire contributions underscore his valued place in equestrian breeding.
