Bred by Leon Melchior as the foundation of Zangersheid, Rebel Z was the Full Brother of the legendary mare Ratina Z who is thought by some to be the best show jumper of all time. Rebel Z himself showed internationally and represents in his rare frozen semen the direct blood of Ramiro (sire) and Alme (Dam sire).  Jumping DNA at its best, Rebel Z also produced a significant number of international dressage horses.
