The Danish warmblood licensed stallion Blue Hors Zackerey has been sold to The Netherlands. With the closure of Blue Hors stud, the stallion was for sale and has been secured by Dutch stallion owners Joop van Uyterts and the Brouwer brothers.
Zackerey is a 10-year old Danish warmblood stallion by Blue Hors Zack out of Overgaard's Hit Me (by Sandro Hit x Solos Carex). He is bred by Tove and Ove Møller Nørgaard.
Moving Between Denmark and Germany
He was a premium stallion at the Danish Warmblood Licensing and also approved for Oldenburg and Swedish warmblood. In 2018 he won the Main Premium title at the Oldenburg Licensing for his excellent first crop of foals and performance test results.
He was initially trained by Daniel Bachmann Andersen and became the reserve champion as a 4-year old at the 2019 Danish Young Horse Championships. When Bachmann left Blue Hors stud in 2020, the ride surprisingly went to the off-base rider; Spaniard Severo Jurado Lopez.
In 2021 Zackerey moved to Germany to stand at Martin Determann's station. The ride on the stallion was given to Lukas Fischer, who competed the horse once in December 2021 at M-level.
For the 2022 breeding season, Zackerey moved to the Dressage Performance center (DLZ) in Lodbergen and was not competed at all. At the start of 2023 he returned home to Denmark and the ride was allocated to Nanna Skodborg Merrald. He was not competed and, therefore his last competition start dates back to December 2021.
The Netherlands
With the closing of Blue Hors stud on 1 April 2024, the Danish stallion station is only retaining a small group of 7 breeding stallions. All the rest has been/will be sold.
Zackerey has now moved to The Netherlands. The news became public when Joop van Uytert listed him on his website and stallion roster for 2024.
In the description it reads, "we are proud that thanks to our good co-operation with Blue Hors we could have negotiated that top stallion Blue Hors Zackerey comes to us now that they are downsizing," van Uytert stated. "We have acquired this 'movement artist' together with out colleagues of Stable Brouwer in Gieten."
Zackerey's stud fee has been reduced to 1,400 euro from 1,700 euro at Blue Hors.
