About Illico d’Arsouilles

Illico d’Arsouilles is a (died 2004) Bay showjumping broodmare foaled in 1985, by Fleuri du Manoir.

Illico d'Arsouilles is most renowned for producing Vigo d'Arsouilles, a successful international show jumper born in 1998 and sired by Nabab de Reve. Vigo achieved acclaim by winning the World Jumping Title at the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games with rider Philippe Le Jeune. Additionally, he competed in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Illico also produced Regina d'Arsouilles, who became the dam to Comte d'Arsouilles, another competitive jumper. Her daughters Oruro and Pucci d’Arsouilles have both reached the levels of CSI competition, further testifying to her influence as a broodmare.

Own record: Illico d'Arsouilles was foaled on 1 January 1985 and was a Belgian Warmblood broodmare bred by Didier Viaene in Belgium. Registered in the Belgian Warmblood (BWP) studbook, she was sired by Fleuri du Manoir from the French Selle Français registry. Her dam was Venzin d'Arsouilles, with Childebert as her maternal grandsire. Illico d'Arsouilles was noted more for her contributions as a broodmare rather than a competitor, with no recorded competition results in major showjumping events. Illico's lineage includes significant individuals such as the Thoroughbred stallion Le Mioche, adding value to her damline and enhancing her reputation as a foundation mare in modern sport horse breeding circles. Despite the absence of her own competition achievements, Illico's genetic contributions have left a lasting impact through her offspring's success in the show jumping arena.
