About Orange Peel XX

Orange Peel XX is a Bay Thoroughbred showjumping stallion foaled in 1919, by Jus d'Orange out of a Ajax dam.

Orange Peel was a bay Thoroughbred stallion born in 1919 in France, known for his profound impact on show jumping through his descendants. Despite not pursuing a notable competition career, his legacy in equestrian sports is largely seen through his progeny. He was sired by Jus d'Orange and his dam was Rirette, representing a deep Thoroughbred lineage. From 1925 to 1940, he stood at the national stud of Saint-Lô, where he sired key offspring that enhanced the show jumping lineage. Although he did not achieve documented personal accolades, his breeding greatly strengthened show jumping bloodlines, with many descendants achieving success. His standing at Saint-Lô enabled him to sire 19 sons, influencing equestrian breeding strategies significantly. Orange Peel passed away in 1940 in France, ending his direct contributions but leaving a lasting influence through his lineage.

Orange Peel's progeny have carried forward his legacy in the show jumping world. Amongst his most notable offspring is The Last Orange, who played a significant role in the continuation of his bloodline’s influence through his own offspring such as Ibrahim, a prominent sire in his right. His bloodline’s pervasive impact is evident in the accomplishments of descendants like Jus de Pomme and Plein d'Espoirs. These representatives have inherited and propagated the strong show jumping traits attributed to Orange Peel.
