Don Tango B stems from world class lines. He was sired by Contango, sire of the international superstar, Ravel, ridden by Steffen Peters for the US. Don Tango B’s dam, Oronia, earned her Keur Sport Dressage title and stems from an excellent line herself. She is sired by Jazz who has produced numerous international dressage champions such as Parzival ridden by Adelinde Cornelissen, and her damsire, Ulft, produced the legendary international Grand Prix stallion, Olympic Ferro, ridden by Coby van Baalen.
Don Tango B is the full brother of Vontango B who has been successful at Grand Prix with Madeleine Witte.
