What breed is she exactly?!

[Wan2bEventer]

Sorry to sound really dim and undeserving of this beautiful mare! But I was wondering what breed she was exactly? A few people have said she is a Holstein, a few people have alluded to her as a Hanovarian... what exactly is the difference between these two breeds? She is approved by the Zangersheide stud, is sired by Sandro Z and her dam was an approved Zangersheide mare by 'Master'.

Sandro Z was a Holstein, can't find what breed her Dam is, but all I know is that she is an approved mare of the Zangersheide stud book, and is by 'Master', who is down as being Hanovarien.

Whose the passport with? She can be a mixture of alot of different "breeds" but it is her passport which will tell you what "breed" she is

It is a Zangersheide passport, don't remember much else from it to be honest... I guess I can have a nose on Friday when I go to see the vetting!

If you can't wait till Friday contact them:

Looking at their website, she is just a "warm blood", so not a hanoverian/dutch wrmblood etc etc. But I may be wrong!!

Zangersheide never replied to any of my emails when I enquired about my boy, his mum was a dutch warmblood and his dad was registered Zangersheide. I tend to just call my boy a Zangersheide as that is the breed he is listed as on his passport. They did send me back his passport really quickly though when I registered as his owner. I hope the vetting goes ok, she looks the spitting image of my boy and he has a very trainable attitude and is a great fun horse, fingers crossed and good luck

Thanks BID, its lovely to hear other peoples glowing reports of their Zangersheide's. What do you do with your boy? Do you have any pictures?

My boy is 5 and I have had him 4 months, I want to event him, we have done a little sj, 1 hunter trial and dressage where he got over 70% for his first prelim. I am hoping to take him to the ode at tweseldown next week if I feel he is ready. Will try and get a picture.
