The champion of the 2020 stallion grading is now a highly-decorated multi champion in the Elmshorn stallion squad. Boasting excellent sport horse qualities, his willingness to perform, cleverness and rideability are particular impressive. With his performances characterized by unrivalled confidence, he jumped to first international placings and qualified for the Bundeschampionat under the saddle of Lucas Wenz in 2024. Continuing his success in 2025, he won several international youngster tours, took bronze in the state championship and placed in the Bundeschampionat and the World Championship of the young jumping horses.
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 age 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 – Vigado - was crowned the 2020 champion. 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.

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.

Offspring of Vigado
His foal crops live up to expectations, as his offspring demonstrate thrillingly athletic make and shape with good movement. At the most recent Holsteiner grading two of his sons have been licensed for breeding, one of them, Vigado’s Level, is stood by the Holsteiner Verband stallion keeping GmbH. 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.
