Orange Peel (1919) by Jus d'Orange out of Rirette, by Ajax, is one of the most influential sources of show jumping blood in the world. Twenty-six of the top 100 show jumping sires of the 1990s descend from him, and ten members of this select group are in-bred or linebred to him, including Jalisco B (1975), Major de la Cour (1978) and Narcos II (1979). He stood at Saint-Lô from 1925 to 1940. His greatest influence is through his Anglo-Norman grandson Ibrahim (1952), who also stood at Saint-Lô, and whose sons include Quastor (1960) and the great Almé Z (1966), each a line founder in his own right. Ibrahim's sire, The Last Orange (1941), left no major mark on French jumper breeding (other than siring Ibrahim, of course), but Orange Peel's other significant sons, Jus de Pomme (1931) and Plein d'Espoirs (1937), were rather prolific, and with Ibrahim they are the main reasons why linebreeding to Orange Peel is so common in Selle Français pedigrees today. Orange Peel's sire, Jus d'Orange, also sired the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris winner La Fregate (1926).
