Extra Z

About Extra Z

With Olivier Philippaerts in the saddle Extra Z has jumped to almost half a million in prize-money, including impressive performances like the Nations Cups of Spruce Meadows and Fontainebleau and a third prize in the Grand Prix of Rome adorning his roll of honour. Extra Z is expected to pass on his sport performances up to five-star Grand Prix level and has excelled with his mentality, alertness and capacity.

Sire: Berlin won team gold at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen in 2006 with Gerco Schröder and has become a foundation sire with offspring like Athena (Aniek Poels), Caspar (Emanuele Gaudiano) and Zilverstar T (Nicola Philippaerts).

Damline: his Heartbreaker dam Wucinda, has distinguished herself multiple times in breeding. His full brother More Than Extra jumps under Samuel Hutton’s saddle, at 1.60m level as well and brother Fort is 1.45m classified.

Notable progeny

The first Extra Z offspring display the desirable showjumper qualities and commitment that we may expect on the basis of his list of achievements and genetics. Extreme van de Kattevennen Z jumped to placings in the 1.45m circuit under Charlotte Jacobs and Exco van de Kattevennen Z recently made his first international meters with Jérôme Guery holding the reins.
