In 2014, the breeding stock amounted to some 2700 animals, of which 340 were stallions.[2] In 2019 its conservation status was reported to DAD-IS as 'at risk'.[2] Gem Twist Alpha Z (b. 2012), a clone of the Thoroughbred show jumping gelding Gem Twist, was exported to Belgium and registered with the Zangersheide studbook to help promote breeding.[5][6]
An older clone of Gem Twist, Gemini CL (b. 2008), was previously used to cover Zangersheide mares via artificial insemination (AI).[7]
