Performance
Elite graded (AES) International Grand Prix Grade A Stallion with superior breeding on both the sire and dam lines.
Golden Hawk is a powerful, attractive horse showing excellent conformation and a genuine, kindly temperament.
His athleticism combined with a careful, scopey jump saw him make his mark early in his career. After proving himself in the age classes, he progressed quickly and is now a consistent performer on the world stage.
A truly versatile horse, Golden Hawk has proven himself at Grand Prix and Nations Cup level and across six bar, puissance, speed and derby classes. He has over £350k in prize money and continues to travel the world, taking on some of the biggest and most challenging tracks under Ireland’s Shane Breen.
Golden Hawk has excellent fertility rates and has sired progeny competing to 1.60 internationally.
In 2010 Vigo d’Arsouilles together with Philippe le Jeune won the gold medal at the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky. Vigo d’Arsouilles’ sire Nabab de Rêve also ridden by Philippe le Jeune was a member of the Belgian bronze medal winning team at the 2002 WEG in Spain. A well-developed horse out of a strong dam-line, Vigo d’Arsouilles is SBS-approved and KWPN- recognized. As well as Golden Hawk, Vigo is also the sire of Super Trooper de Ness (ridden by McLain Ward), Ego van Oti (ridden by Edwina Tops Alexander), Vagabond de la Pomme (ridden by Penelope Leprevost), Donatella N (ridden by Nicola Philippaerts).
Top sport (competing up to 1.60 under Jos Lansink) and top breeding mare Ta Belle van Sombeke is also mother to Grand Prix horses: Glocks London, Wabelle de Muze, Pikap, Casimir de la Pomme, Taran de la Pomme, Dabelle, Ba Belle van t Roosakker as well as Golden Hawk (formerly Figo de Muze).
