CUMANO
has enabled Jos Lansink to shine in the most prestigious Grand Prix: World Champion in Aachen, Winner of the GP 5* in Calgary and placed 2^nd a few years later, European Reserve Champion in Mannheim... His showjumping record is impressive. He leaves behind a rather rare progeny, but nonetheless talented: 
- NOBLESSE DES TESS, excellent CSI 5* winner ridden by K. ABDULLAH BAHAMDAN, came 4^th in the individual ranking of London Olympics 
- NEPTUNE BRECOURT, CSI 5* with L. MARIA MONETA, European Championships in Herning 2013
- NASA, CSIO 5* performer with N. BRUYNSEELS and S. GUERDAT, notably winning the Zurich GP 5*
- CHIVAS Z, GP 5* winner with R. SPOONER
- ATOMIC Z, (ex-ATOMIC D’ICK), licensed stallion performing in CSI 5*, 2^nd in the Lanaken GP 3*
 

SAPPHIRE
originally named SAFARI VAN’T MERELNEST, her jumping record reckons 19 victories and 6 placings at 1,60m level: double Olympic Team Gold in Hong Kong and Athens, victorious in many GP 5* in Wellington, but also of GP 5* in Aachen, Rome, La Baule, Calgary… She is undoubtedly one of the best sport mares of the last two decades ! She only had very few offspring, among which :
- OLYMPIC JAC BC, 1,40m performer in the United States
- PETROSSIAN BC, young licensed stallion, finalist in the World 7yo Championship, winner of GP for 7yo in Mechelen, also placed 9^th in the CSI YH GP in Aachen.
  

IDJAZ
 his granddam displays an exceptional progeny record too :
- MAUREEN VAN’T MERELNEST, GP 5* and dam of MOYA V’T MERELSNEST, CSIO Junior
- QARCO VAN’T MERLNEST, ranked in American World Cup classes 
- WENDELINA VAN’T MERELNEST, herself competing up to 1,45m and dam of licensed stallion GLASGOW VH MERELNEST, CSIO 5* with J. VRIELING ; but also of CSI4* performer ODIN V’T MERELSNEST and MORTON V’T MERELNEST, CSI 3* 
- ROXY VAN’T MERELNEST, dam of QUANTUM II R Z, placed up to GP 1,50m ; QERLY R Z, CSI 3* ; QUATUM III R Z, CSI 3* ; and BAHAR R Z, placings in GP 1,45m
 - ARTEMIS VAN’T MERELSNEST, dam of DOMINA VAN’T MERELSNEST,GP 1,35m ; and granddam of EARLINE D’ENGANDOU, GP 1,45m

OMANO made his debut with J. DE WINTER in Belgian YH classes. He quickly gathers several placings in CSI YH in Bonheiden and Lier. At 6yo, he repeats many fast clear rounds, notably landing victories in Opglabbeek and Lier, followed up by a 2^nd place in the PAVO Cup in Tielt.
 
D. DEMEERSMAN takes over the ride at 7yo, pursuing good performances on CSI YH and 2*, including placings in the Lier and Bonheiden CSI2* and making his entrance at 1,45m level. Since then, his Belgian top rider has enhanced OMANO’s training towards the highest level, gathering placings in CSI 3* classes along the road:
- Bronze Medal in the Belgian 8yo Championship
 - 5^th in the GP 1,45m of Zandhoven
- 5^th and 6^th in CSI2* 1,45m classes in Lummen
- 10^th in a CSI 3* 1m45 in Brussels
- 11^th of the Sires of the World in Lanaken, with a pleasant double clear round only shadowed by one time penalty point during the 1.50m final
- 11^th in the GP 1,45m in Hasselt
- placed in CSI 3* in Lier
- placed in the CSI 2* of Bonheiden and Lier...

OMANO appears like a real sire with harmonious conformation, sufficient bone and a well-bound backline. He displays immense scope and excellent movements, including a well-balanced canter with stride. We expect him to pass on his strength and jumping style as well. He seems better suited for blood-typed mares

OMANO only has a handful of offspring born since 2017 in the USA, among which ROMANCE B, placed at 1,30m level. His first European generation were born in 2020, including the AES Licensing Champion UMANO in the Netherlands.
