Great influence of keur stallion Animo in top individual ranking Tokyo 2020
The influence of the keur stallion Animo s. Almé in the top of the individual standings during the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020 is significant.
Animo was discovered as a young horse by Van Olst Horses and subsequently approved by the KWPN. He has been at stud in Den Hout for most of his career.
Animo himself jumped as one of the first KWPN stallions (after Olympic Treffer) at the Olympic Games, this was for Animo in Barcelona in 1992.
Through his sons Andiamo and Animo’s Hallo, who were both at stud in Den Hout, his influence in the individual standings of Tokyo is great. The silver medal winner H & M All Inn, ridden by Peter Fredricson, comes out of the Andiamo mare Fortune. The bronze medal winner Beauville, ridden by Maikel van der Vleuten, comes out of the Andiamo grandmother Pinxter. The fifth-placed H&M Indiana, ridden by Malin Baryard Johnsson, comes out of the Animo’s Hallo daughter Halifax.
