Especial for Fun Z

Dam is the Global Champions Tour winner Fit For Fun

Victorious in competitions for young show jumping horses

The extremely talented son of the trademark stallion Eldorado van de Zeshoek and the Global Champions Tour winner Fit For Fun has made a brilliant start to his competitive career. Ridden by Leonie Bußmann-Wöhle, he was victorious and placed in novice (A) and elementary (L) level competitions for young show jumping horses with scores up to 8.6.

His first foals have presented themselves as athletic, correct, and self-confident—and thus perfectly suited to conquer the major show jumping courses around the globe.

His sire Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN is one of the evergreens of show jumping horse breeding and is currently placed eleventh in the WBFSH ranking of the world's best show jumping sires. The Belgian licensing winner was victorious in competitions up to 1.60m with Willem Greve/NED and was placed in Nations Cups. He has long been entitled to the title of ambassador of the BWP breeding. The son of Clinton, whose dam Bijou Orai collected successes in 1.60m competitions with Olivier Perreau, produced numerous significant offspring, such as Eddy Blue/Darragh Kenny/IRL, who came fourth by team and seventh individually at the European Championships, Killer Queen VDM/Daniel Deußer/GER, who won multiple Grand Prix and Nations Cups, Elektric Blue P/Max Kühner/AUT, who came seventh at the Olympics, sixth at the World Championships and won the team bronze medal at the European Championships, as well as other 1.60m jumping horses, such as Grandorado TN N.O.P. and Highway TN N.O.P./both Willem Greve/NED, Kaspar R/Harrie Smolders/NED, El Balou OLD/David O’Brian/IRL and Elwikke/Maikel van der Vleuten/NED.

His dam is none other than the Global Champions Tour winner Fit for Fun/Luciana Diniz/BRA. The pair won the Grand Prix in Doha/QAT, St. Gallen/SUI, Basel/SUI and Rotterdam/NED and came second twice in the Grand Prix in Aachen/GER and once in Calgary/CAN. Fit for Fun achieved ninth place in the individual ranking at the Olympic Games in Rio/BRA, took part in the World Cup final in Lyon/FRA in 2014 and in the European Championships in 2015 and 2017. Fit For Fun is the dam of four stallions: in addition to Especial For Fun Z, she also produced Camargo (by Canturo), who was born before her sport career and was successful in 1.60m show jumping competitions with Luciana Diniz/BRA amongst others, as well as the serial winner in competitions for young show jumping horses, Vino For Fun (by Verdi TN), and Dark For Fun (by Diamant de Semilly).

The collection of titles of the dam's sire For Pleasure is long. He won team gold twice at the Olympic Games: in 1996 in Atlanta/USA with Lars Nieberg and in 2000 in Sydney/AUS with Marcus Ehning. The chestnut stallion secured team gold three times: In 1997 in Mannheim/GER with Lars Nieberg, and in 1999 in Mannheim/GER and in 2003 in Hickstead/GBR with Marcus Ehning. He won individual bronze at the 2003 European Championships in Donaueschingen/GER. For Pleasure also has a special status as a sire. The 2000 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year has produced over 120 licensed stallions and almost 100 offspring with successes at the highest level in show jumping competitions in the world, such as Funcky Fred/Marcus Ehning/GER, VDL Groep Beauty/Leopold van Asten/NED, My Pleasure/Juan Ortiz/VEN, Coral Reef Follow Me II/Mandy Porter/USA and Epleaser van 't Heike/Christian Ahlmann/GER. 

His grand-dam Fetzi produced the licensed stallion and 1.45m show jumping horse Darco For Fun Z (by Darco), the 1.60m show jumping horse Flight of Ikarus (by For Pleasure)/Kai Schäfer/GER and the international eventing horse RR Simple (by For Pleasure)/Dani Sussmann/USA. Fetzi’s daughter (by Cador), who was placed in 1.20m show jumping competitions, produced the two licensed stallions Double One and Diamant de Cador (both by Diamant de Plaisir).

The third dam Esta produced the advanced (S) level show jumping horse Carlchen (by Cento). Her full brother Europking was licensed.
