Sandro Z has earned his own reputation in the jumping sport. He was one of the first licensed stallions to also develop a sport career. Under Franke Sloothaak he claimed numerous successes and earned a live winnings at the time of DM 55,000. But also in breeding Sandro Z has been a success, which was confirmed at the `94 The Hague World Equestrian Games, where three of his offspring made him one of the most influential sires. Sandro has more than 40 licensed sons, the most promising being Silvio I and II, Sandro Song and Salido Z.
Unique about Sandro Z is that he is the only directly licensed son out of the successful combination Sacramento Song xx x Wahnfried. We also find this combination in the pedigree of the dams of, amongst others, the stallions Lavall I and II, Atlantus Z and Campione, as well as the international showjumping horses Cathleen (Meredith Michaels) and Zigeunerin (Rodrigo Pessoa). Sandro Z certainly got his jumping genes from his female line, as well, because dam Durte is a full sister of Wabbs (Mehlkopf), one of the most successful puissance horses ever. Duerte is also dam of the S-level jumper Salvador.
