Dourking Hero Z

High-flyer son of the Vice World Show Jumping Champion

A glance at the pedigree of this high-flyer should be enough: Dourking Hero Z has everything - and in abundance - that is required in the fast and technically demanding sport of modern show jumping. At his Zangersheide licensing, he gave the first glimpse of his outstanding talent and was subsequently highly coveted by the show jumping experts present. We are all the happier that we were able to secure this jewel for our ambitious breeders. 

His sire Dourkhan Hero Z, who combines the genes of the outstanding sires Diamant de Semilly, Chin Chin, Zandor Z and Calvaro Z, was silver medallist at the World Championships for seven-year-old show jumping horses in Lanaken/BEL in 2022 with Christian Ahlmann, is now placed in 1.45m show jumping competitions and has already produced nine licensed sons. He goes back to the same dam line as Dourking Hero Z: the famous Atoucha van't Roosakker is Dourkhan Hero Z’s third dam and she appears in the fourth generation in Dourking Hero Z’s pedigree.

His dam Queen Kinmar Hero Z was placed in 1.45m show jumping competitions with Hannes Symons/BEL. Her full brother Kadco Hero Z is also successful in show jumping competitions up to 1.40m with Pedro De Andrade Costa/BRA.

His dam's sire is Kassander van 't Roosakker Z, who is internationally successful with Gregory Wathelet/BEL, and whose dam Electra van 't Roosakker was successful in 5* show jumping competitions with Janika Sprunger/SUI and Jos Lansink/BEL. Electra van 't Roosakker is the granddaughter of one of the most famous broodmares in the world, Usha van 't Roosakker. Several sons of Kassander van 't Roosakker Z were licensed, including Picobello van't Roosakker, who was placed in 1.50m show jumping competitions with Steve Guerdat/SUI and Jason Smith/SUI.

His grand-dam Attoucha was successful in 1.60m show jumping competitions with Paris Sellon/USA.

Dourking Hero Z's pedigree also includes the exceptional stallions Aganix de Seigneur and once again Diamant de Semilly, Darco and Chin Chin. 

His great-grand-dam MoM'S Gatoucha van't Roosakker was also successful in the sport: with Michael Korompis/NED and Kirsten Rombouts/BEL, she was successful in show jumping competitions up to 1.50m. Of her highly successful show jumping offspring, Kastello (by Echo van't Spieveld; 1.45m SJ)/Megan Laseur/NED, Maestro van't Roosakker (by Couletto; 1.45m SJ)/Maggie Hill/USA, Tinkoucha Hero Z (by Tinka's Boy; 1.60m SJ)/Leonie Peeters/BEL and H5 Alana Hero Z (by Aganix du Seigneur Z; 1.50m SJ)/Hannes Symons/BEL deserve to be mentioned, the latter two of which in turn produced international show jumping horses.

The aforementioned fourth dam, Atoucha van't Roosakker, is the dam of three top horses: MoM'S Gatoucha van't Roosakker, Falco van't Roosakker (by Berlin; 1.60m SJ)/Eugenio Grimaldi/ITA and Electra van't Roosakker (by Carthago Z; 1.60m SJ)/Jos Lansink/BEL. The latter also produced Kent Farrington/USA’s Kaprice (by Echo van't Spieveld; 1.60m SJ). Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have produced other internationally successful jumping horses and licensed stallions.
