- the ambassador : Le Tot de Semilly, acknowledged as one of Best Sires in the World, has gone at 32 YO ... but he is still present by the quality of his offspring, among the bests in 2009 : Itot du Château, Item de Quintin, Ismaïla de Lormette, etc.
- the exceptional Diamant de Semilly or « when the dream becomes reality » … built as "dominant sire", with many results at international top level crowned by a World Champion title, an offspring out of the ordinary revealed during the French 4,5,6 and 7 YO Championships in Fontainebleau and at international level (Kalaska de Semilly, Joyau d'Opal, Muscaris d'Ariel, Kho de Presle, etc.), make him the Best Selle Français sire (ANSF ranking) and he is already ranked 24th in the WBFSH Stallion ranking list ! His offspring makes regularly the Top Prices in auction sales. Moreover, the fertility of his semen is also exceptional !
- the unique triple French champion (at 4, 5 and 6 YO), Calypso d'Herbiers also proved his quality at international level, winning GP CSI and the great "Derby de La Baule". He produces commercial horses : very nice and easy to ride in jumping, eventing and also dressage classes.
- among the best international showjumpers, like :
Arko III, exceptionnal international jumper under the saddle of Nick Skelton with whom he won many titles. He has only been used lightly at stud as his rider didn't want to mix competition and stalion careers. At the end of 2008, Arko has been retired from competition and is finally widely available as a stallion !

5th in individual ranking and 6th with the Belgium team at Athens OG,
4th in individual ranking and also with the Belgium team at the 2003 European Championships,
2001 Belgium Champion … BWP (SFA approved), interesting by his different bloodline (Darco x Attack Z), but also for his color (he producesonly by or grey offspring), his size, his scope and his paces. His first offspring begins to be remarked (like Oralia d’Auge 3rd of the 4 YO females French Championship).
Luidam, great international winner under the saddle of Billy Twomey with whom he won notably La Baule's Grand Prix. He now takes over from his regretted sire, Guidam, who has suddenly disappeared at the same as his offspring arrived at the Top international level.
Winningmood comes from the very interesting crossing of Darco x Cassini I. This great stallion is now at the Top International level after having very good results in young horses classes like his title of 7 YO Champion of Belgium.
