The ICSI Result Tool is Born: Mapping the Sporting Success of Future Champions Produced by AvanteaAdvertisement

For years, the ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) technique has divided the equine breeding world. On one side, the skeptics—who criticized its artificial nature and questioned the true athletic potential of lab-conceived foals. On the other, the supporters—who from the start saw it as an extraordinary tool to preserve and multiply bloodlines of exceptional genetic value.

Today, however, the results speak for themselves: horses born through ICSI are not only increasingly numerous but also stand out for their quality and success in international show jumping.

A New Tool to Measure Success: the ICSI Result Tool

To make this growing phenomenon visible and trackable, Hippomundo—together with Avantea—has launched the ICSI Result Tool, a new platform designed to transparently monitor the sporting performances of horses conceived through ICSI.

Thanks to integration with Hippomundo’s vast database, the system makes it easy to identify which “ICSI horses” are excelling in competitions—from young horse circuits up to 1.60m Grand Prix events—who rides them, and which bloodlines are reaching top-level sport thanks to this technology.

For breeders, investors, and riders, this means greater transparency and reliable data to guide strategic decisions.

Arezzo 2025 Young Horse Finals: ICSI Dominance

A clear demonstration of the sporting quality of ICSI-born horses came from the 2025 Young Horse Finals in Arezzo, where in three out of four categories, the title went to horses produced with this technique—all developed with Avantea’s expertise:

• 4-year-olds: Daydream 2000 Z (Dominator 2000 Z x MoM’s Lady D van ’t Roosakker), ridden by Alessandro Colombo, bred by Stud 2000 BVBA
• 5-year-olds: Belle Z (Big Star x Jolly Girl van ’t Roosakker), ridden by Guido Franchi, bred by Mario Everse
• 6-year-olds: Only You di Villagana (Casall ASK x Winona Van Pamel), ridden by Filippo Sertori, bred by Villagana Agricola – Anna Bruna Zorzan

Three different horses, three prestigious bloodlines, one common denominator: ICSI origins.

From Italy to Europe: The International Rise of ICSI Horses

The success doesn’t stop in Arezzo. Across Europe, ICSI-born horses are consistently reaching podiums and top placings at national and international competitions—clear proof of their established quality.

From Controversy to Solution: The ICSI Revolution

The rise of ICSI-bred horses reflects a profound transformation in the breeding world. What was once considered an unnatural experiment is now recognized as a strategic tool to maximize the genetic potential of elite mares and stallions.

International auctions increasingly feature embryos produced via ICSI, investors show growing confidence, and sporting results continue to validate the technology. The partnership between Hippomundo and Avantea aims precisely to support this evolution—offering verifiable data and public access to information about ICSI horses’ performances.

Transparency as a Core Value

As the project’s creators emphasize, the key word is transparency. The ICSI Result Tool is more than just a database—it’s a knowledge platform that allows the equestrian world to follow the sporting journey of ICSI-born horses, from their early years in young horse classes all the way to the international Grand Prix stage.

This marks an important step not only for breeders but for the entire equestrian community, which can now observe—with data in hand—how genetics, science, and sport can truly gallop in the same direction.
