The foalings continue at Haras des Coudrettes! This year, Horéade des Lys HDC has given us a magnificent filly, carrying on a most prestigious sporting legacy.

As the daughter of Vagabond de la Pomme and granddaughter of the exceptional Ayade de Septon*HDC, Horéade carries on the tradition by passing on her talent and energy to her offspring. Following O’Neal HDC and Parker HDC, a future champion has now joined the stable.

Her name? Qlarisse Express HDC, in tribute to Clarisse, an exceptional French judoka and a true legend of the tatami. Like her illustrious namesake, we hope she will shine through her technique, her fighting spirit, and her steely resolve. A two-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion, and multiple medalist, Clarisse embodies resilience and excellence, having won every major title in her discipline, including another Olympic medal in front of her home crowd at Paris 2024.

Her sire, Icare Express HDC, has long since proven himself. A son of our two great champions, Orient Express HDC and Silvana*HDC, he embodies the perfect blend of elite bloodlines and modern performance. From this exceptional pedigree comes a filly destined for a bright future.

Horéade and Qlarisse are doing wonderfully, and we look forward to following this filly’s development as she follows in the footsteps of the greatest. Congratulations to the entire team on this new arrival, and welcome to Qlarisse Express HDC!

After a few days’ delay, Vriska de Blondel*HDC gave birth to her magnificent son by Justmy Express HDC.

He is Vriska’s second son born at the stud farm, following Mika Express HDC (Orient Express HDC), who was recently approved as a Selle Français stallion and is owned by Reynald Angot. She is also the dam of, among others, Dirka de Blondel (CSI5*), Laïka Miss HDC, Noushka Express HDC, Oliska Express HDC, Petruchka Express HDC, and Panenka Express HDC…

This magnificent foal will be named Quokka Express HDC.

The quokka is a protected species of small, sociable marsupials native to Australia. It is said to be “the happiest animal in the world.”

Welcome to Quokka Express HDC

Haras des Coudrettes is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and yet… every year, the foaling season is an adventure that we experience intensely.

Every birth is unique,

Every birth is awaited as if it were the first,

Every birth tells us a story,

But today, this birth is very special…

Jicky Express HDC is becoming a mother for the first time. Jicky is the only daughter of our mare Elky van Het Indihof*HDC, who left us when she was born, and Orient Express HDC. Elky was just incredible under Kevin’s saddle.

When Jicky was born, she received her first bottle from Armand’s hands… Needless to say, she holds a very special place in our hearts.

She has just given us a magnificent filly by Dollar du Rouet, the star stallion of our friends Pierre and Yannick Fardin, who will be named Queenky HDC.

Congratulations Jicky on this little queen, Elky would have been so proud.

Haras des Coudrettes is delighted to announce the acquisition today of a new vaulting horse to enable the French team to continue performing at the highest level.

FRIDOLIN, nicknamed FRIDO, is an experienced horse in whom we have high hopes. He joins Ultrachic*HDC in Saumur to take over and perhaps participate in the most prestigious events to come under the French flag. He will be pampered by Sébastien Langlois under the watchful eye of François Athimon. All dreams are possible.

Welcome to FURST FRIDOLIN*HDC and good luck to our French vaulting team.
