COOLBALLYSHAN Stud welcomes Amadeo van’t Vossenhof Z (Asca Z x Carthago Z), a Zangersheide-approved stallion who promises to bring real quality and performance potential to Irish breeders. He is a modern, athletic type with plenty of blood, quality and movement, all traits which are increasingly sought after in today’s sport horse.

Amadeo is already proving himself through his progeny. His oldest stock are now seven-year-olds, currently competing up to 1.40m level, and are consistently described as rideable, careful and scopey, a combination that appeals to both professional riders and ambitious amateurs aiming for the top.
