Furioso (horse)
Furioso (1939–1968) was an influential sire of sport horses, and is found in the pedigrees of many top show jumpers today. Life

After World War II, he was purchased by the French National Stud, where he was used as a breeding stallion until his death in 1968. Pedigree
Furioso was sired by the English Thoroughbred stallion Precipitation (1933 – 1957), an influential sire who is found in the pedigrees of many racehorses and sport horses today. He was responsible for helping maintain the Matchem (1748 – 1781) and Godolphin Arabian sireline. His dam, the Thoroughbred mare Maureen (b. 1931), was sired by Son-in-Law, by Dark Ronald (1905 – 1928), a grandson of the Thoroughbred racehorse Hampton (1872 – 1897), by Lord Clifden (1860 – 1875). Dark Ronald was also an influential sire of sport horses and warmbloods, particularly show jumpers. Descendants
