About Vigo Cece

Vigo Cece is a (died 2015) bay Selle Français showjumping stallion foaled in 2009, by Quaprice Bois Margot out of a Diamant de Semilly dam.

Vigo Cece was a notable Selle Français stallion, born in 2009 in France. Bred by Christophe Choain at Haras de Talma, Vigo Cece's pedigree was rich with distinguished showjumping lineage. His sire, Quaprice Bois Margot, was a progeny of Quidam de Revel, a remarkable name in the showjumping domain. His dam, Lady Pouilly, was a daughter of Diamant de Semilly, recognised for his impressive contributions to both breeding and competitive sport as a World Team Champion ([ifce.fr](https://infochevaux.ifce.fr/fr/vigo-cece-sr2IlX3MRHqgWQ92l5tpPw/infos-generales)).

Vigo Cece displayed promising talent and achieved commendable success early in his career. As a two-year-old, he secured the vice-champion title, and at three, he was crowned the champion of France. Under the guidance of rider Camille Piot, he participated in notable competitions, including the Saint-Lô CIR 2014. Despite a premature end to his competitive tenure due to colic in 2015, Vigo Cece marked his standing in the showjumping scene with an ISO performance index of 120 ([grandprix.info](https://grandprix.info/fr/news/30175/Disparition-de-Vigo-Cece/)).

In terms of breeding, Vigo Cece was approved for the Selle Français and SBS studbooks. He sired an impressive number of offspring, impacting international showjumping with progeny that reached classes up to the demanding 1.70m and significant events such as the Olympic Games ([horseshowjumping.tv](https://www.horseshowjumping.tv/en/vigo-cece-first-embryos-produced-at-avantea-bookings-open-for-the-july-14-opu-icsi-session/)). Even though his life was cut short, his genetic influence continues through the advanced reproductive techniques employed to preserve his lineage.

As a breeding stallion, Vigo Cece made a notable impact by siring 135 offspring, of which 79 competed in showjumping circuits. His progeny have ascended to high levels within the sport, participating in events reaching 1.70m and the Olympic stage, underscoring Vigo Cece's lasting influence through his offspring ([horseshowjumping.tv](https://www.horseshowjumping.tv/en/vigo-cece-first-embryos-produced-at-avantea-bookings-open-for-the-july-14-opu-icsi-session/)).
