Vigo HW, bay Hanoverian gelding by Von Und Zu/Don Index, born in 2022, standing approximately 163 cm or 16 hands.

Vigo HW was sired by the 2019 Premium Hanoverian Stallion Von Und Zu. Von Und Zu quickly became a crowd favorite during his 2019 Hanoverian stallion licensing. This modern dark chestnut has an ideal step and the right mix of knee action and sufficient space gain. The traits were passed to Von Und Zu from his sire Vitalis as well as from the highly successful dam line of the Paninka. This dam line also produced stallions Fiderstar, Federico Fellini, Foundation (competes to Grand Prix Special with Matthias-Alexander Rath), Prince Charming and Le Classic, as well as, sport horses Apache/Isabell Werth, Don't forget/Patrik Kittel/SWE and Henri Ruoste/FIN, D'Arcy Diamond OLD/Louisa Lüttgen, Albertino/Lars Nieberg, Cheyenne/Rene Tebbel. Sire, Vitalis, continues to produce champion offspring including; Valverde, who won the 2019 Bundeschampionship for five-year-old dressage horse stallions under rider Eva Möller ( 9.00 9.50 9.50 9.00 9.50 ---- 9.30), and the same year at the Hanoverian Stallion Licensing, Vitalis had 6 sons represented and 5 were licensed in 2019. One son was named as crowd favorite and another fetched the second-highest price at auction by Gaston Glock for 720,000 EUR. Valverde won the 2020 Bundeschampionat Qualifier (9.0) and placed fourth in the final (8.5). Va' Pensiero, by Vitalis, won both the qualifier (9.20 total score) and final (9.5 total score) of the 2020 Bundeschampionat in the three-year-old class. There is a bright future for Von und Zu in sport and as a sire.
