Zeoliet
Born 1981 died 2002 - 172 cm bay

Zeoliet combines two of the greatest Dutch jumping lines, his sire was
the great Ramiro, while his dam was by the influential Thoroughbred,
Abgar.
Zeoliets dam, Sargab was declared preferent (this title
is awarded to a mare if her offspring reach certain conformation standards)
at the age of ten, making her the youngest prestatie mare
in The Netherlands.
Along with these new sires, Zeoliet carries the older Groninger
blood through the mare, A. Gonnie, by Nimrod.
At his performance test in 1984, Zeoliet was a star scoring 9.2 for dressage,
9 for jumping, and 9.5 for freejumping. He went on to compete in stallion
jumping classes with Henk van den Broek, and with success in dressage
up to ZZ level, with Rianne Laarakkers.
He was a successful sire, and a genuine all-rounder, producing both jumping
and dressage horses for a breeding index of 118 for jumping and 128 for
dressage. He produced a number of international level showjumpers including
Easy Boy, (Phillippe Leoni) and Bay Networks Escudo (Stefan Lauber).
Altogether he is represented by 11 jumpers in the WBFSH standings and
is rated 50th on the 2001/2 standings, and 40th for the period 1992/2001.
He produced the dressage horses, Dotato (Michael Barasone), Star Fortune
(Per Waaler) and Excel (Dennis Callin), as well as the approved stallion
sons, Elcaro and Eusebio.
Zeoliet was jointly owned by his breeder W. J. Eykenboom and the famous
stallion stander H. J. Nijhof. For the final two years of
his life, the stallion stood in the United States at Shooting Star Farm.
