The genetic gem Cayetano Z can reflect on a great
sports career. The now 17-year-old stallion retired last year, after being
successful at the highest level with Julia Houtzager-Kayser for years. To name
a few of their successes: second in the Grand Prix of Geesteren, third in the
2017 Grand Prix of Donaueschingen, fourth in the Grand Prixs of Knokke, Outdoor
Gelderland and Drachten. In 2017 Julia and Caretano Z competed at the European
Championships of Gothenburg. Another accomplishment is the 0/4 result in the
FEI Nations Cup Final in Barcelona. At seven years of age, the sire Caretano Z
claimed the world title at the World Breeding Jumping Championships for Young
Horses in Lanaken with Jos Lanskin. After that he had a fruitful career up till
1.60m level. Dam Calipa Z produced, in addition to Cayetano, three other 1.60m-horses
and a number of international showjumpers. The dam of Calipa Z is the two-fold
Olympic Champion Ratina Z. This top mare also produced the approved stallions
Rex Z, Crown Z, Treasure Z and Comme il Faut. The latter has a made a name for
himself with Marcus Ehning.
Cayetano Z meets the KWPN radiographic requirements.
The genome breeding value and conformation inspection ensued in no remarks.
Cayetano Z has a genome breeding value of 101 (40% reliability) and he is no
carrier of the WFFS-gene. Fresh and frozen semen of the stallion is available
via Holstud in Lunteren.
