This evening, Corlana S presented us with a superb filly by Be Express HDC (by Orient Express HDC), our first approved SF stallion born at the Haras des Coudrettes, whom we keep in our hearts thanks to the wonderful foals he has given us. The foaling was complicated, but the filly and her mother are doing well now. Miléna and Emilie were there. Their talent, professionalism and kindness made this foaling a fairytale. Thank you both, you are wonderful.
Corlana’s foals are named after characters, heroes and heroines from literature or the cinema.
After Korléone Express HDC, Milady Express HDC and Nikita HDC, now it’s Ophelia! Betrothed to Hamlet in Shakespeare’s tragedy, Ophelia was wonderfully portrayed on screen by the magnificent Jean Simmons in 1948.
Welcome to Ophélie Miss HDC.

Tonight, the beautiful Zigi gave us the first son of Icare Express HDC.
Zigi is the daughter of Zirocco Blue but above all the granddaughter of Holivea van Costersveld who is none other than the Dam of Bosty’s champion Vivaldo van Het Costersveld and the granddam of Marco Kutscher’s crack Cornet Obolensky.
Crossed with Icare Express HDC, who is none other than the son of Orient Express*HDC and Silvana*HDC, this superb colt carries the weight of exceptional genetics on his young shoulders.
As the horizon has no limit other than that which separates heaven from earth, we welcome Orizon Express HDC.

When our babies make babies… There’s a magical turning point in a breeder’s life, when his first fillies take over from their dams and even their grandmothers. This is the case with Fleur des Lys, the daughter of Platine du Rouet, one of our first mares to arrive at the very beginnings of the Haras des Coudrettes, born to our friend Yannick Fardin by a cross with Carinjo 9*HDC. Fleur has just given birth to a magnificent foal by Be Express HDC, our first home-bred Orient Express male. So we’ve come full circle.
To continue the tradition of Platine foals, this magnificent foal will be named after a stone, a variety of agate belonging to the quartz family.
