Ramiro Z has become world famous worldwide and is duly called the "Euro-stallion" of his day. Preferent Ramiro decends from the famous combination Rainmond - Ramzes x - Rittersporn xx. The anglo arabian Ramzes represents one of the basic blood lines on which Holstein breeding has been founded. Ramzes gave a new dimension to sport horse breeding.

Ramiro's dam is Valine, who acquired international fame as a show jumper by the name of Corrale under Lutz Gossing. She is a daughter of the reputable thoroughbred Cottage Son, who became famous through his son Consul. Ramiro's dam is from linage 776, one of the most valuable Holstein female blood lines, going back to Achill and Edelbert.
 
In 1969 Ramiro was the absolute top stallion of his performance year and was not only used for breeding but was successfully competing in showjumping. He was ridden by Fritz Ligges and excelled in his puissance performances, up to 2.2 meters as well as in competition where speed was essential. Ramiro moved to the Netherlands to Studbook Zangersheide in 1979, and came to the Netherlands 2 years later. On the basis of his breeding efforts that had earned him worldwide fame, he was declared horse of the year at jumping Amsterdam in 1992.
 
Ramiro Z progeny can be described with one word: sublime. He supplied a large number of stallions approved in the Netherlands and abroad as well as an impressive series of sport horses. In the Netherlands his sons Almiro, Armstrong, Bernstein, Dageraad, Damiro, Elmero and Zeoleit were approved. His daughter the super mare Ratina Z is the dream of the show jumping world, winning both gold and silver at the Barcelona Olympics and, under her new rider Ludger Beerbaum, claiming the Volvo World Cup of 1993.

However his products increasingly distinguish themselves in dressage as well. The Horse Breeding Testing Station Association has gratefully used the sperm quality and high fertility of Ramiro Z, which allowed this association to play a prominent role in the development of artificial insemination of horses in this day and age
