Tanco of Cayenne Stables
Tanco: The Best Friesian Sport Horse of 2024
Meet Tanco, our exceptional Friesian stallion, awarded the prestigious Ster Sport-Elite title. With an impressive pedigree of Epke 474 x Onne 376, he stands at the top of the Friesian breed. In 2024, Tanco claimed the title of Small Tour Champion, performing at both national and international levels.
Since joining us, Tanco has made tremendous progress under the expert guidance of Zoë Kuintjes. His performances in Prix St. Georges and the Light Tour are outstanding, highlighted by an IBOP record score of 91.5 points, earning him the rare AAA status, the highest possible recognition in the Friesian horse world.
Beyond his sporting success, Tanco’s character stands out. He is gentle, friendly, and easy to ride by anyone. His calm and reliable nature makes him suitable for both experienced riders and ambitious amateurs looking for a top-quality horse.
Tanco is now enrolled in the 2025 Verkort Onderzoek (Short Inspection), a special examination program for stallions with exceptional sporting achievements. This will give him the opportunity to be approved as a breeding stallion, passing on his outstanding qualities to future generations.
