Thoroughbred Stallion Furioso

Born in England in 1939, the Thoroughbred colt, Furioso was to become one of the most influential sires in modern performance horse breeding, even though he never won a single race in his 21 starts.

He was well balanced but with slightly knock kneed forelegs and tight hocks.

The authoritative De L’etalon Sport Français of 1992 remarked: ‘he had good bone, and walked liked a Lord, with a magnificent pace, very energetic and showing a great deal of amplitude, his tail swinging at each step. His trot and gallop were good but not exceptional. Though full of life he was docile and had a good temperament.’

Furioso xx, was the leading sire of winners in France from 1954 - 1961.
