Son of Zalome is a sportily built dressage stallion with three excellent basic gaits, an uphill canter, and a strong combination of the Vitalis bloodline and Holstein heritage.
Adorned with the beloved blood of the Holstein stallion Lorenn I!
Son of Zalome is an extremely athletic-built son of the influential stallion Vitalis. In addition to his magnificent, upward conformation, Son of Zalome possesses three very good basic gaits, characterized by an excellent upward tendency.
Son of Zalome also managed to confirm these qualities during his short test in Vechta, where he achieved a total score of 8.48 and finished in the top 5 of strong competition. In their comments, the judges praised him for his phenomenal, powerful, and uphill canter (9.0) and his excellent rideability and willingness to work (both 8.8).
Sire Vitalis is among the best dressage sires in the world. He holds fourth place in the current WBFSH ranking. He owes this to his Grand Prix-successful offspring, including Olympic team silver and European team bronze winner Vayron with Daniel Bachmann Andersen, and U25 European Championship bronze winner Vamos Amigos with Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour and Annabella Pidgley, respectively. In breeding, he has now produced more than 100 approved sons.
His dam Zalome is a daughter of the Holstein stallion Aljano, who caused a sensation at Light Tour level under her rider Kim van Muren. In the third generation, the pedigree of Son of Zalome is graced by the widely acclaimed Holstein Grand Prix stallion Lorenn I, who, in addition to many approved sons, produced Grand Prix dressage horses in abundance. His granddam Oda III produced, besides the mare Zalome, the international Grand Prix horse Al Marno, ridden by Joanne Vaughan.
In addition, this Holstein line 2067 produced many international show jumpers and approved stallions, such as Fort Medoc VDL, Chin Tonic, Jaquino, Henrica He'Las, Colour Girl, and many others.
