Danúbio MV is son of Zimbro II MV
and Oferta MV and thus a paternal brother of Dardo II MV and
maternal of Venturoso III MV, both widely-known, having been
imported by Brazilian breeders.
Zimbro II MV is now in Mexico,
where he became the main stallion of Coudelaria Gaston Saints.
Through Zimbro MV, Danúbio is a grandson of Nilo MV and
great-grandson of Firme SA, another pillar of the breed like
Danúbio MV himself. In his pedigree thus, he shows 1/8 of
Andrade blood, belonging to the highly demanded modern
Veiga/Andrade lineage, started when Firme SA spent time at the
Coudelaria Veiga.
Danúbio was one of the most
important stallions bred by Manuel Veiga. He won several
titles, including the most prestigious one of Champion of
Champions in Lisbon (1987).
Danúbio sired at Manuel Veiga and
at Interagro the most fantastic progeny of the modern Lusitano
breed, with sons like Ofensor MV, Champion at Golegã at 4 years
old and Champion head-of-progeny in Lisbon and Oceano MV who was
imported into Brazil by Coudelaria Mito Lusitano. Both Danúbio
and Ofensor MV were imported by Interagro; the latter - now one
of the main official stallions at Interagro - was used by his
breeder Manuel Veiga MV and Sociedade das Silveiras SS where he
sired the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion of the 2004
Lisbon Show and his daughter who became Champion in Lisbon in
2002. Danúbio MV sired two top-quality official Interagro
stallions: Quixote and Quantum Interagro. |
