CHAUDFONTAINE JL Z

Chaudfontaine JL Z's pedigree is almost a guarantee of success; this promising stallion combines the world-famous Chacco Blue with the Olympic mare Valentina van 't Heike. Moreover, Chaudfontaine JL Z himself displays enormous jumping talent; he jumps with superb technique, great scope, and excellent reflexes. His sire, Chacco Blue, has been the world's number one jumping stallion for years and has produced a seemingly endless list of Grand Prix show jumpers. The most famous example is, of course, the reigning Olympic champion Explosion W, but H5 Chaganus, Stardust, Chalou, and Casquo Blue are also Chacco Blue's offspring. His dam, Valentina van 't Heike, was one of Belgium's top combinations for many years under Jos Lansink. This extremely talented daughter of Nabab de Rêve won the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi and Paris and finished second in the Global Champions Tour Final in Doha. Furthermore, Valentina won team bronze at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky and competed in the 2011 European Championships in Madrid and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Valentina van 't Heike was also extremely successful in breeding. She is the dam of the famous stallion Epleaser van 't Heike, who competed at the highest level with both Christian Ahlmann and Frank Schuttert. Under Ahlmann, Epleaser van 't Heike won the Grand Prix of Treffen and the Nations Cup of Aachen in 2016. Besides Epleaser, Valentina van 't Heike also produced the Grand Prix show jumper Boomer van 't Heike, who achieved some major successes with Mathijs van Asten and Kim Thiry. Furthermore, Valentina van 't Heike is the dam of the talented licensed stallions Notting Hill JL Z and Cavalier Russe Z. At the KWPN stallion licensing last winter, Chaudfontaine JL Z demonstrated his talent, quality, and scope. With Laura Kjaergaard Baaring, Chaudfontaine JL Z jumped convincingly clear rounds at Kronenberg, De Meern, and Exloo.
