Valentino BF

USHJA National Champion Show Hunter with 1.60m pedigree
Valentino BF (2020) is a rising star from the 30+ year Branscomb Farm breeding program in California.  Just in his five year old year, shown only lightly on the west coast, this fourth generation Branscomb stallion already achieved national championship status in both the show hunter and jumper disciplines having been named Jumper Champion of the North American Sporthorse Stallion Test (NASST West) in 2025 with excellent scores after claiming that same title as a four year old in 2024.   This year, he also qualified for the 2025 USEF Young Jumper Finals at Traverse City but did not attend due to distance and conflict with the stallion test schedule. 

Then in November 2025, at the prestigious USHJA National Championships Horse Show in Las Vegas against some of the best show hunters in the country, this youngster, with the legendary John French aboard, claimed the win in the $25,000 invitational USHJA National Open Hunter Derby Championships under the lights in the South Pointe Arena against 37 of some of the best show hunters in the country.  Performing flawlessly all week, Valentino BF also took the 3’3” Green Hunter Division Championship, a win in the Green Classic,  was named High Score Hunter of the week, and ultimately named Grand Green Hunter Champion of the National show. 

 Athletic, brave, and intelligent, he shows a level of calm, cooperation, and confidence well beyond his years. 

 Fully lifetime approved by most major registries now, this fertile  breeding stallion by Vagabond de la Pomme (Vigo D'Arsouilles- For Pleasure-Darco)  out of Calida BF (x Calido I) from Grand Prix and NAYRC Grandmother Celine BF (x Diarado - Acorado - Landgraf-Ahorn) he represents a legacy of excellence in show jumping and good character on both sides of his impressive pedigree.  

First foal crop coming spring 2026. Excellent fresh and frozen semen available by private treaty subject to competition schedule. A rare stallion that can win in either ring with a bright future ahead of him. WFFS, EVA, and OCD negative.
