❝  Kenzo comes from the crossing of two of the best worldwide sires, which is well-known for producing excellent showjumping winners. He has only jumped clear rounds in his 4 YO classes, showing great potential. This modern stallion presents great ground coverage, a good balance, strength and an excellent jumping technique with a huge clearance over fences, carefulness and a very good back end. He is very enthusiastic and forward going. Kenzo is also very charismatic. He has a gorgeous front end, with a long neck line, a nice head and a good shoulder.   

KENZO SEMILLY

Kenzo has a rich pedigree of 56,12% thoroughbred

Exceptional Pedigree ! His sire, Comme il Faut, a top performer in CSI5* with Marcus Ehning, ranked 8th among the leading sires of CSI winners in the 2024 WBFSH ranking. He notably sired the Paris 2024 Olympic Champion, Checker 47. Comme il Faut himself is the result of a cross between two showjumping legends: Cornet Obolensky (ranked 4th best sire worldwide – WBFSH 2024) and Ratina Z, arguably the greatest mare of the 20th century—multiple Olympic medalist, European Champion, and winner of the CSIO5* Aachen Grand Prix (1.60m).

His damline is equally exceptional, with his granddam, Argentina Z, a top international performer (CSI5*, Atlanta Olympics), and his third dam, Heureka, winner of the CSI5 Aachen Grand Prix.

Kenzo’s dam is a three-quarter sister to the CSI5* stallion performer Quebracho Semilly, who placed 5th in the CSIO5* Falsterbo Grand Prix (1.60m). She is a daughter of the legendary sire Diamant de Semilly.
