A GOLDEN PEDIGREE, WITH 65% THOROUGHBRED BLOOD
His sire Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve, also known as Otangelo, winner at CSI 1.60m, entered the WBFSH Top 100 sires of international performers in 2012 and has not left the Top 50 since 2014, with two years inside the Top 20. Crowned BWP Ambassador, he has produced numerous CSI 1.60m and CSIO5* Grand Prix winners, including: Tobago Z (close to €3M in earnings), Darry Lou (€1.5M in earnings), …
From his damline also come top-level CSI 1.60m winners such as Vestmalle des Cotis (ISO 179), Chagall de Toscane (ISO 154), Jadis de Toscane (ISO 168), Broadway de Mormoulin (ISO 164), Rahotep de Toscane, Olympic team gold medalist in Rio (ISO 172), Easy Star de Talma (ISO 163), …
This maternal line is considered one of the very best of the Selle Français Studbook, having produced over 30 CSI performers with indexes above 140, including the legendary Dollar du Murier, World Champion in Jerez de la Frontera and Olympic performer in Athens (ISO 184)!
HIS SIRE : TANGELO VAN DE ZUUTHOEVE: one of the world’s leading show jumping stallions
TANGELO stands among the world’s leading show jumping stallions. An international performer (under the name Otangelo) with Roelof Bril, he notably ranked 3rd in the Grand Prix of Vienna and Birmingham, before going on to leave a lasting mark on breeding through an exceptional offspring record.
By the influential sire Narcos II, himself a top international performer and sire of numerous elite horses (including Viking du Tillard, Urbain du Monnai and Ulane du Plessis), TANGELO also benefits from an outstanding Hanoverian dam line, no. 3195904 (Mandato van de Neerheide, Chaccbay, Doublem Chacco, Cartago II Z, Romanus Z, De Vito, Cornet’s Courage), strengthened by repeated crosses with major French bloodlines such as Narcos, Laudanum and Almé.
Awarded BWP Ambassador and later KWPN Horse of the Year, Tangelo continues to rank among the world’s top stallions in the WBFSH standings (28th in 2025), thanks to an exceptionally consistent production at the highest level. He is notably the sire of Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z, a true international star with multiple 5* Grand Prix and World Cup victories, as well as many other CSI5* winners including Darry Lou, Bintang II, Taalez, Victoria, For Killy and Billy Angelo.
His offspring include a large number of horses successfully competing at 1.55m level and above, while younger generations are already standing out in young horse circuits and championships.
Approved in all WBFSH-recognised European studbooks, Tangelo consistently passes on excellent jumping technique, suppleness, scope, carefulness and rideability, making him a reference sire for breeding modern sport horses destined for the very highest level.
