Origins
The Zangersheide comes from the stud farm in Zangersheide, Belgium and was established in the early 1970’s to breed quality showjumping horses. By 1992 a studbook was created specifically for animals with natural jumping ability.
Being relatively recent, this breed was developed using the latest scientific skill and selective breeding. This breed has grown and today is exported throughout Europe and even to Argentina. The latest DAD-IS shows their numbers at 4736-7104 in 2013.
