Cornet Obolensky x Chin Chin
2020 | Stallion | Available with fresh semen

A very special addition to the NB Stallions roster, Célangelo Z combines elite genetics, modern athleticism, and a uniquely personal story for Niels.

“I rode his mother, Angel van ’t Hof, at the highest level, five-star Grand Prix. She competed in some of the biggest arenas in the world, from the Rolex Grand Prix in ’s Hertogenbosch to Mexico, Miami, Geneva… To now have a son of hers in the stable makes this one very special."

Recognized early for his unique qualities, Célangelo Z was a long-term target to join the NB Stallions collection. Now secured, he represents not only a strategic addition but also a personal one.

“With his exceptional quality, technique, scope, and unbelievable sport line, this is for me the complete breeding stallion. He has everything you look for.”

Pedigree & Performance Blood

By the legendary Cornet Obolensky, Célangelo Z is built on one of the most proven sire lines in modern showjumping.

On the dam side, the depth of performance is exceptional:
• Damsire Chin Chin enjoyed a remarkable international career, competing in two Olympic Games (Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992) and establishing himself as a true foundation sire of the sport.
• Further strengthened by Nabab de Rêve, a 5* Grand Prix winner and World Equestrian Games medalist, later honored as a BWP Ambassador.
• His dam Angel van ‘t Hof achieved top-level results under Niels Bruynseels, including placings in the 5* Grand Prix of ’s-Hertogenbosch and major classes on the Global Champions Tour.
• Granddam Ochin vh Schuttershof is the full sister of the legendary Kashmir van Schuttershof, one of the most influential sires in the sport, responsible for top horses such as H&M All In and Gazelle.

This is a damline that consistently produces championship-level horses.

Type & Athleticism

Célangelo Z represents the modern sport horse type:
• Light, athletic, and well-balanced
• Powerful yet elastic canter with natural uphill tendency
• Excellent rideability and intelligence
• A stallion with blood, reflexes, and carefulness

In his jumping, he shows outstanding technique, with a clear bascule, strong push from the hind end, and natural scope. His elasticity and ease over the jump underline both his quality and longevity potential.

Sport & Future

Already proving his ability in the ring, Célangelo Z has started to build his record with promising results at the Sunshine Tour at the start of the 2026 season, confirming the expectations set by both his pedigree and natural talent.

His combination of scope, technique, mindset, and rideability makes him an exciting prospect for the highest level of sport and an exceptional opportunity for breeders.

Order semen Conditions

General conditions
Semen from the stallions stationed at NB-Stallions are offered as fresh semen. The semen can be picked up or shipped. Shipping costs are at the responsibility of the breeder and will be invoiced directly by the courier service or Stal Bruynseels.

Please contact us for inquiries regarding frozen semen.

The stud fee for the fresh semen you have ordered will be invoiced starting from the month of October. If your mare is not in foal, NB-Stallions expects a veterinary/non-pregnant declaration. This way, the stud fee will not be invoiced to you. If a mare aborts after payment of the stud fee, you may use a stallion from NB-Stallions again in the following year. If the tariff differs from the previous year, you will be required to pay the difference if the new tariff is higher. Payment of invoices from Stal Bruynseels must be made within 30 days of the invoice date.
Per mare, semen can be ordered for a maximum of three cycle.
A maximum of 2x sperm can be ordered per cycle.

In accordance with European regulations, semen may only be shipped to locations outside Belgium that are registered as an Equine Establishment in TRACES NT. Without a valid registration, no health certificate can be issued. Breeders are advised to arrange this registration in good time.

With the first order, you will receive an invoice of €150 (excluding VAT), being the reservation fee. This reservation fee will be deducted from the total stud fee payable upon the pregnancy. The reservation fee is non-refundable.

A dose of fresh semen for a subsequent heat cycle can only be obtained once the reservation fee has been paid.

By ordering and receiving semen, the mare owner declares to have acknowledged these terms and fully agrees to these stud and payment conditions, as well as the stud fees.

If the mare owner attempts fraud, the unconditional penalty is € 5 000 (excluding 21% VAT) per case, in addition to the stud fee.

Ordering
Fresh semen must be ordered in advance online via https://nbstallions.com/nl/order-sperm, before 9am if pickup/delivery is required the same day.
