BRANCO is an imported Dutch-bred stallion and was the first stallion in the U.S. to be fully approved as a Belgian Warmblood breeding stallion. His grandsire on his sire's side is RAMIRO Z who stood at the world famous Zangersheide stud and has been judged the most influential stallion on jumping performance bloodlines in the last 50 years. His grand sire on his dam's side is AMOR who was a foundation stallion for the Dutch registry. His dam UGONDA is also the dam of the twice Olympic participant FREUD (s. REBEL IZ) showing under the name RADISSON DIAMOND.
