So in order to make such a high-quality stallion available for the large public, Stud Zangersheide immediately invested in him.‘To us, Dourkhan Hero Z was absolutely thé most imposing stallion of the last stallion inspection. He has a fantastic model,  powerful impulsion and jumps for a 10!

Luc Henry on Dourkhan Hero Z: ‘Dourkhan Hero Z has supreme athletic capacity with an extreme degree of blood and cautiousness.’ I´m definitely going to use him on my own mares in the future.’In 2019 Dourkhan Hero Z will be available with fresh semen at Stud Zangersheide and he will be introduced to the large public during the Open Days of Stud Zangersheide on the 9th and 10th of March 2019.
