Horsebreeding with French Stallions and Kenneth Rehill

About us

This agency has been created, to provide an effective means of introducing breeders in the USA, Canada, UK and Ireland to blood never previously accessible. Whilst the French have been producing some of the best jumping horses the sport has seen, the semen has been largely unavailable, thus denying breeders outside Europe the opportunity to share in the success and to use new and fresh blood.

By combining the very best available from both the private stallion owners and the French National Stud (Les Haras Nationaux), you the breeder now have the chance to use jumping blood which has been developed for over three centuries, and has often been the foundation for other stud books.

Via our links with the various national Selle Français associations, we intend to help promote the breed throughout the English speaking world, and increase the number of registrations and memberships. To this end, we will give discounts to association members, and preference on stallions with limited semen.

The stallions we represent are primarily jumper producers, although there are a few who regularly produce dressage horses. Additionally, with the changes and modifications in Eventing, the Selle Français is now being recognized as the breed able to perform and produce at the top level. European jumper breeders have long been aware of the genetic potential of these stallions, and in recent years have used them in increasing numbers with amazing results.

Why has this blood not been available before? It is quite incredible to think that the French have produced so many winners at Olympic, World and European level in the sport, and yet the stallions and their semen have been almost kept a secret. What other country in the world would have won the WEG in Jerez 2002, so convincingly and been so quiet about it?

On this website, you will find numerous videos (sorry to those still on dial-up) and photos of both the stallion and his offspring. We felt it important to show exactly what they produce, and to give you the opportunity to make a more educated selection. In conjunction with Les Haras Nationaux (French National Stud), and a number of other data providers, we have researched each stallion and his production, to ensure totally accuracy of information. On the INFO page, you will find explanations of the various indices and rankings. On each stallion page you will find (where available) number of mares covered during his career and his radiological scores (show as stars, 5* being the best), along with advice on suitable mares.

We are sure that you will find you perfect stallion for you mares, the range of suitability is wide, but what is for sure, is that you will produce a jumper of quality. We have endeavored to provide a range of stallions to suit every pocket (900€ to 3000€) and every type of mare.

You will have noted that there are two stallions, which are not French. Kannan, is French owned, jumps in the French Super League team, lives in France and gives SFA papers. Lord Calando is owned by the French National Stud, lives in France and gives SFA papers. Both these stallions provide owners of French mares the opportunity of outcrossing to other stud books, whilst keeping their SFA status.
