The champion of the 2020 stallion grading is one of the riding stars in the Elmshorn stallion squad. Boasting excellent sport horse qualities, his willingness to perform, cleverness and ridability are particular impressive. With his performances characterized by unrivalled confidence, he jumped to first international placings and qualified for the National Championships under the saddle of Lucas Wenz.
Vigado offspring stand out for their beauty, long legs, and elegance. The oldest of them demonstrate the good judgement their sire is known for when jumping. Nevertheless, take care to breed him to typey and structurally correct mares with sufficiently long legs.

Sire
The pedigree of Vigo d’Arsouilles is stamped by the exceptional sires Nabab de Reve, Quidam de Revel and Jalisco B. The big-framed chestnut won the 2010 world jumping championship in Lexington (USA) with Philippe Lejeune. Other top international show jumping offspring by Vigo d’Arsouilles, who died at 21, include Fair Light van’t Heike (Alberto Zorzi), Vagabond de la Pomme (Pénèlope Leprevost), Irenice Horta (Cian O’Connor) and Ego van Orti (Edwina Tops-Alexander).
Damline
The very first foal out of Quo Vados daughter Goya has been crowned champion stallion of 2020 - Vigado. The second dam, Tora II by Cash and Carry, has also produced two successful sport horses by Quo Vados, Querry and Quno, with results up to 1.60m, both.
The third dam, Nancy (by Concerto II), has produced two 1.60m jumpers, Cash and Go and Cash up, as well as Vigado’s second dam, Tora II, all by Cash and Carry. The produce of the fourth dam, Fanny by Capitol I, includes a 1.60m jumper, Cardea 2 by Caretino, as well.
Own Performance
Vigado underwent short ability assessment with a final jumping weighted mark of 8.66 in Verden. He was given 9.3 on willingness to perform and 9.2 on jumping.
Vigado completed sport testing, also in Verden, in March 2022: 9.0 on ability and overall impression, 8.8 on technique and rideability and 8.5 on canter resulted in a total jumping weighted mark of 8.81. Also five-year-old, Vigado successfully completed sport testing with a final weighted mark of 8.43.
Four-year-old, Vigado already placed in young horse jumping classes at A**level. At five years of age he won young horse jumping classes up to L level and was placed up to 1.30m level with Sophie Hinners. Now under the saddle of Lucas Wenz, Vigado not only qualified for the National Championship but the combination also jumped to second place in the State Championship of the six-year-olds. The youngster tour of the CSI Riesenbeck saw Vigado placed on bronze position.

Offspring of Vigado
His first foal crops live up to expectations, as his offspring demonstrate thrillingly athletic make and shape with good movement. Two of his sons born in 2022 were accepted for the final grading phase in Holstein. The young Vigado sons and daughters also met with a lot of interest at the Holsteiner foal auctions. One of them, Very Nice (out of a Casall dam) was knocked down to US American buyers at the 2023 Hörup foal auction for 17,000 euros. A full sister, Special Dream, changed hands for 12,000 euros at the same venue in 2024.
