The Anglo European Studbook graded stallion DICK Z was bred at Paul Schokemohle’s world famous stud. He is a product of the Hanoverian sire DROSSAN. This son of DROSSELKLANG II is a highly promising sire because of his large number of talented offspring in German Show jumping. At the Verden stallion licensing in 1986 DROSSELKLANG II finished in first place in the jumping with a jumping index of 141.54. He is one of the last sons of DON CARLOS in the Hanoverian breed, who himself was one of the most successful of Hanoverian jumping horses after World War II, producing over 283 principal studbook mares, of whom 43 went on to become states premium mares, 24 approved stallion sons and 467 competition horses who won close to DM1,300,000 in prize money. DROSSELKLANG II was one of his most famous sons and at the 2001 stallion licensing in Verden he was declared the Hanoverian stallion of the year. He is sire of three licensed sons; DAGOMBA, DON PAPAS and DROSSAN.

A. M. VAN DE OETELAAR BV, the owner of the world famous Concorde & Oklund. He was then produced as a 4 year old and was competing very successfully, until a tragic accident ended his competitive life. He then retired to Stud in Holland, before being imported to the UK to stand with us here at Greenvale Stud..

DICK Z is out of the mare QUICK ROXANNE, who is currently competing 1:30's and 1:40's in the US and has scope to burn, says her current owner. (This fantastic mare may be coming up for sale, for serious enquiries only please contact the stud and we will forward owner details, OIRO $80,000). She is daughter of the world famous QUICK STAR, who needs little introduction. This miraculous jumping stallion belongs amongst the most legendary sires of the 90’s. Under his rider Meredith Michaels, QUICK STAR accumulated an impressive track record in International Show jumping., earning en amazing 375,000,000 Euros. He is the son of two international Show jumpers GALOUBET A and STELLA. In present day Show jumper horse breeding, QUICK STAR is considered to be one of the best progenitors, being recognized by 21 stud books. He is the sire of the record breaking PSI horse fetching 8,5000,000 French Francs. He is not only world famous for his own achievements but for producing some of the current international winners that shine in show jumping circuits all over the world, notably: SPHRELLA STELLA, the CSIO internationally winning mare; QUILOT Z, QUIKSY, QUICK SILVER Z, QUICK LAURO Z and QUEBEC. The dam’s line goes back via the Hanoverian stallions GLETSCHER (GLANDER-GRANDE), LUGANO (LUGANO II – DER LOWE XX) and DUFT II (DUELLANT) to the reputable state premium mare ADELSFREUDE (ABHANG II) This big Hanoverian family has also produced many world famous licensed stallions.

DICK Z was imported into the UK in 2004 and he proved to be very popular in his first season standing here. He is an amazingly handsome horse with a great personality, temperament and is highly intelligent. His talent is endless and we feel very lucky and proud to have him here at The Greenvale Stud. There are few horses that can credit such impeccable bloodlines and proven talent and we feel honoured to have one of them.
