NEGUS II was imported to France in 1973 by Georges Perret, to Bidache (French Basque country) where he would stay until his sudden death in 1989.
NEGUS II was a true leading sire
He had everything of  a great lord, with an extreme kindness in his motion and in his behaviour. The complicity with his master was complete. In one of his rare outing, he won the “Price of the Family” at the 
Salon du Cheval in Paris in 1979

His offspring is amazing. 4 of his sons and 6 of his grandsons are state sires

Many of his foals, including mares such as
  AZNOA ,  BABOLNA , ERSATA , FARIDA, FELISCOA , GACHUSCHA , IDOKI  , JORDANIA ....  were regularly distinguished in show competition until recently and that was including many champions.

The name of Negus II is associated to equestrian sport for many horseriders and breeders. In fact, he transmitted to all his descendants
 exceptional aptitudes for jumping, 
those aptitudes being transmitted from one generation to another
