Sire: Carthino Z was a highly successful showjumper himself and carries the excellent genes of both Carthago, Amor and Nimmerdor. Ridden by Dutch rider Gerben Morsink, Carthino Z won the silver medal at the FEI World Championships for 7-year-olds in Lanaken and won the bronze medal in both the Dutch championships as the Sires of the World. Nowadays, dozens of offspring by Carthino Z perform successfully at international level.

Dam’s sire: Emilion is one of the most influential sires in the Netherlands of the past thirty years.

Dam’s grandsire: Concorde is the third foundation sire in a row in the pedigree of Carthina Z. Concorde carries the bloodlines of Voltaire and Marco Polo and jumped at the high level with several top riders, such as Jos Lansink and Eric van der Vleuten.

Ridden by Marco Kutscher, Spartacus pulled off some wonderful results at World Cup level and later on his career he achieved success after success with Henk van de Pol. As a young stallion, he did not cover many mares, but out of this limited number some already jump at 1.50m level. In the Netherlands, his oldest offspring are now 6-years-old and look very promising.
