Studbook Zangersheide exists 25 years and is growing all over Europe. With almost 4,300 registered foals in 2016 we reached an absolute record. Also the Z-Festival in Lanaken was splitting at the seams in the last few years; in 2015 there were 406 foals entered, in 2016 as many as 619. An increase of 52%, no less! In order to serve our breeders even better and especially to show our gratitude to our breeders for their trust in our studbook, we will as from this year also organise the Z-Festival across the borders. Z-breeders will be able to show their foals in 2017 at 4 locations at the Z-Festival. At each of those locations foals will also be selected for 3 foal auctions; 2 ‘Z Online Auctions in August and the Z Quality Auction during the WC in September. 09 July 2017 Z-Festival Germany We start our European tour in Marl at the Rohmann family.
