Born in France, FRENCHMAN was competing successfully when injury curtailed his career. In 2002 he returned to competition in Canada with outstanding results, winning several jumper division championships, a Triple Crown title and is a serious competitor in the eventing world. He has inherited his father’s enormous scope and rideability. Frenchman scores 9’s in his dressage and is careful and brave to his fences. He is short coupled with an amazing work ethic, and incredible temperament. Frenchman’s sire is one of the current show jumping greats (63 Int. GP wins) and produces outstanding international performers (most recently WEG and Olympics). Diamont du Semilly is just one of Frenchman’s relatives as well as being twice European show jumping champion. Frenchman’s dam is an Alme daughter (the sire of all sires) whose blood line needs no introduction. Frenchman completed a CIC**. He also won the leading female rider award with Ruth in ‘08 and ‘09. He has been successfully campaigning across eventing and jumper. His foals are phenomenal, gaining his athleticism and fabulous “big dog” temperament and competitive themselves in the ring in all 3 Olympic disciplines. Frenchman is a light and easy ride and crosses well with most mares. This is one of the best bred stallions in NA.
