Vivant’s sire, Fuego du Prelet by Jalisco B, is an Almé grandson. Jalisco is is the sire of the 1990 World Champion, Quito de Baussy, and the magnificent line founding stallion, Quidam de Revel, as well as the highly profiled sire, Paillon Rouge. Vivant’s dam's sire, Landino by Landgraf, comes from the same family that produced Carprilli. Hedjaz, found in the third generation, another French trademark stallion, is also the dam's sire of Otterongo who took the Vice European Champion title and fourth place in the Olympic Games in Athens under Ludo Philippaerts (BEL) as well as McLain Ward's Sapphire (USA) – one of the best mares in international show jumping for years.

The dam, Everlasting Day, is by the TB Brilliant Invader, the top ranked sire of eventers and showjumpers including Wendy Schaeffer’s Koyuna Sunshine, Koyuna Sun Storm, Koyuna Sun Dancer, ex World Champion Reddy Teddy (ridden by New Zealander Blyth Tait), and many others.  This mare has already produced several other super young horses including Faraday (currently owned by Sophie Warren) and Day of the Jackal (by Daley K) – see clip of Day of Jackal jumping:  [watch video]

Victory Day has a lovely temperament and outstanding movement.  This is definitely a prospect for a rider wanting a horse to take them to the top at an international level.
