Zangersheide honours the breeders of the World Championship horses from Aachen

The Z-Ranking prize-giving ceremony has now become a regular fixture on Saturdays during the FEI WBFSH Jumping World Breeding Championship for Young Horses, but this afternoon in Lanaken there was still time for an extra special tribute. After all, last month saw the World Championships take place in Aachen, where a dozen Z-horses also made an appearance and provided some wonderful sports moments. As the presence and performances of so many Z-horses at a world championship are, after all, a special occasion, Studbook Zangersheide decided to honour the breeders behind these horses as well.
