The jumping programme for the young stallions concluded this evening on the third day of The Zangersheide International with a blistering class for the 7-year-old stallions. The audience was treated to a high-level class in which quality, scope and rideability were central. Moreover, it was a fantastic denouement for our blue and yellow colours, with Christian Ahlmann and Toèmme de Regor Z jumping convincingly to victory!
There were twenty-four of them starting this evening in this class reserved for the 7-year-old stallions. The basic course designed by British course designer Raphael Suarez and his team was built at a height of 1.30m and of the twenty-four candidates, thirteen managed to jump to a place in the jump-off. One of those thirteen barragists was Christian Ahlmann and our grey stallion Toèmme de Regor Z, a son of Chacco Blue and Cento bred by the Veldeman family of De Regor Stables. Ahlmann and Toèmme de Regor Z, who still came2nd in the 6-year-old stallions at the 2025 edition under the saddle of Joe Clee, again kept all the bars neatly in the barrage and with a fantastic finishing time of 36.79 seconds they became the dream final winners!
Silver in this class for 7-year-old stallions was for young Belgian rider Seppe Wouters and the stallion Candy Prince de Leonte (Candy de Natuel x Quaprice du Bois Margot - breeder: Leonte Ionut-Flavian). Wouters and Candy Prince de Leonte had entered the ring just before Ahlmann and Toèmme de Regor Z and had managed to stop the clock in 39.13 seconds after a clear jump-off.
Brazilian rider Camila Mazza De Benedicto followed just behind Wouters in 3rd place in the rankings. She too provided a flawless barrage round with the stallion Conbalou Gold PS (Conthargos x Baloubet du Rouet - breeder: Gestüt Lewitz/Paul Schockemöhle) in a time of 41.09 seconds.
The other places in the top five of the standings were taken by Belgian rider Thomas de Wit with his homebred Pay Back Dw Z (Plato de Muze Z x Halifax van het Kluizenbos) and by his compatriot Donaat Brondeel with the stallion Diamond (Don Diarado x Cornet Obolensky - breeder: Elmgestüt Drei Eichen Gmb H).
