Birth of a modern damline

At Scuderia Sonnevend we are proud of our carefully selected broodmare selection. We chose to breed with these magnificent horses because of their extraordinary showjumping qualities and the outstanding performance of their offspring. 

This is how our Oh D’Eole and China Touch Hero became the backbones of our broodmare selection. We combine each of them with TOP 30 WBFSH sires so that they can bring out the best from their breeding career. In addition, there are also self-bred broodmares in our stable with just as outstanding bloodlines.

Taloubella SA Z (Little Lady Z x Taloubet Z) is the young filly of two outstanding horses of the contemporary sport. This 2020 filly is always at the door of the paddock to greet her visitors with the utmost kindness. She is definitely a great character with even greater ancestors!

Taloubet Z was recognizable by his incredible power, unprecedented capacity and a super fast foreleg. In his saddle with Christian Ahlmann won many huge events like the Leipzig World Cup Final, Nation Cups or reaching individual ninth at the Rio Olympics. He has a great number of offsprings, most notably the approved GCL level stallion Take A Chance On Me Z (1.65), Taloubetdarco K Z (1.60) or Aloubet KV (1.60).

Taloubella SA Z is not only sired by an impressive showjumper but also has an Olympian on her dam’s side. Little Lady Z arrived to the top 1.60m level with the legend himself, Michael Whitaker, later became the favourite of the head of Zangersheide, Judy Ann Melchoir. Their top rider, Christian Ahlmann also reached many successes with her, finishing in top 3 at CSI5* level in: Lyon, Monte Carlo, Bordeaux or Valkenswaard.
