The Brazilian Association of Sport Horse Breeders has enjoyed a great start to 2023 having negotiated a two-year lease for Caesar Z (Chacco-Blue - Ratina Gamma Z [Cl] x Ramiro Z) and brought the young Zangersheide stallion to Brazil.

That same year, he also reached the finals of the FEI WBFSH World Breeding Championship for Young Horses. At the age of seven he started in 1m40 classes but, unfortunately, suffered an injury so is now dedicated exclusively to reproduction duties.
His x-ray images are excellent and, in terms of structure, Caesar Z is a compact well-built horse with an elastic topline, great croup, and a highly commended structure of limbs and hooves.
His sire is none other than the four-time number one stallion of the WBFSH ranking list – the widely recognized Chacco-Blue, who has already sired other spectacular offspring: Explosion W, Calisto Blue, Chaqui Z, Chalou, Chaccland, Chacfly, Crazy Quick, Miss Untouchable, Chacco’s Son, Chacon, Blue Movie, Chatinue, Chaccomo, Chaloubet, Chalanda, Chacito, Chacco Boy, Chaccland, Chacon, Chaquilot, Chaccolino, Jet Run, and numerous others...
