ABOUT Sire: Tobago Z

Tobago Z is an exceptional stallion, with direct relatives who are all top performers. His dam, Whoopie C, was a successful 1.60m show jumper under Yves Vanderhasselt, known for her exceptional scope, carefulness, and quality. His sister, HH Donatella, competed internationally under Quentin Judge and Paola Amilibia. Tobago Z quickly rose to the top of the sport, becoming the most successful horse of the 2018 Global Champions League (GCL). In 2019, he earned three podium finishes in GCL Grand Prix events. His dominance continued through the 2018 and 2019 World Cup seasons, winning the World Cup in Madrid and Bordeaux, finishing third in Amsterdam, and fourth in Leipzig. Thanks to his exceptional talent, Tobago Z achieved:

• 4th place at the World Cup Finals

• 2nd place in the Grand Prix of Aachen

• 2nd place in the European Championships in Rotterdam as part of the German Olympic Team

​

"When genetics predict results and results confirm genetics, the circle is complete with Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z."

• 2nd place in Mannheim

Unfortunately, a hernia ended his season early in July 2022. However, Million Dollar recovered well and shifted focus to breeding for the 2023 season. Million Dollar possesses three quality gaits, impressive jump scope, carefulness, and exceptional technique. His performance evaluations further highlight his talent:

  • Jumping ability & overall impression: 8.8

  • Rideability & manners: 8.5

  • Canter: 8.3

  • Final grade: 8.57

 

Between ages four and six, Million Dollar won multiple young horse jumping ability classes (A-M level) under Ebba Johansson. He later joined Jos Lansink’s training program and competed under Frank Schuttert (NED), achieving top international placings at 1.45m before moving to Sophie Hinners’ training stable in 2022. Million Dollar’s sire, Plot Blue, was a show jumping legend, competing at the highest level for many years:

• 5 Senior Championships

• 2 World Cup Finals

• 23 GCT Grand Prix competitions

Million Dollar’s dam, Gin Tonic de Muze, was exclusively used for breeding. His granddam, Daytone de Muze, competed successfully at 1.60m under Jody Bosteels, and his great-granddam, Wallon de Muze, also competed at 1.60m under Michael Hécart, as did her full sister Walnut de Muze, who competed under Harrie Smolders.

 

ABOUT Dam Grandsire: Caretino

Caretino was the last of the seven stallion sons of Caletto II to enter the Holsteiner Studbook. The bay stallion from stem line 826 impressed early, earning a jumping index of 145 points at his stallion performance test. Caretino excelled in young horse competitions:
