Furioso (1939–1968) was an influential sire of sport horses, and is found in the pedigrees of many top show jumpers today.
Life
[edit ]
After World War II, he was purchased by the French National Stud, where he was used as a breeding stallion until his death in 1968.[2]
Pedigree
[edit ]Furioso was sired by the English Thoroughbred stallion Precipitation (1933 – 1957), an influential sire who is found in the pedigrees of many racehorses and sport horses today. He was responsible for helping maintain the Matchem (1748 – 1781) and Godolphin Arabian sireline.
His dam, the Thoroughbred mare Maureen (b. 1931), was sired by Son-in-Law, by Dark Ronald (1905 – 1928), a grandson of the Thoroughbred racehorse Hampton (1872 – 1897), by Lord Clifden (1860 – 1875). Dark Ronald was also an influential sire of sport horses and warmbloods, particularly show jumpers.
