With a production quality twice the average, his offspring—both direct and in the 2nd/3rd generation—dominate the finals.
The proof in numbers:
🔥 Genetic Power
- Between 2018 and 2021, only 2% of foals registered in the SF Studbook had DIAMANT as sire. From these generations of 4–7 year olds in 2025, more than 5% of the finalists in Fontainebleau are his offspring. His direct offspring perform 2x better than the average.
- If we extend the calculation to foals carrying DIAMANT’s blood in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation, they represent about 16% of the foals declared in the SF Studbook between 2018 and 2021, and more than 37% of the finalists at Fontainebleau in 2025. Diamant’s blood in the pedigree = proven quality 2x above average.
🏆 1 Champion
KOULANO DU GENET (DIAMANT x Toulon), French Champion of 5-year-old showjumping geldings 🇫🇷
🥇2 podiums in SHF Rankings
- DIAMANT, 3rd in the TOP 100 sires of young horses in the Classic Showjumping Cycle 🥉
- DIAMANT, 1st in the TOP 100 damsires of young horses in the Classic Showjumping Cycle 🥇
✨ Outsanding quality from horses carrying Diamant’s blood in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation, representing :
- Nearly 40% of the horses selected for the 2025 young horses French finals
- 50% of the podiums in these finals
Several finalists also show inbreeding on DIAMANT, including the 7-year-old vice-Champion ISMI MENAMA (Candy de Nantuel (Luidam x Diamant) x dam by Rubis de Preuilly, son of Diamant) .
Inbreeding is used in all breeding selection processes. It serves to fix the genes of an individual. When breeders apply reasoned inbreeding on an exceptional stallion or mare, it allows their strengths to be fixed and thus enhances the quality of the offspring.
🐴 Key categories
- 62.5% of the 2025 6-year-old gelding finalists are DIAMANT descendants, including 4 direct offspring, among them the 2nd and 3rd place winners of the Championship
- 100% of the 2025 7-year-old podium is composed of horses carrying DIAMANT blood in the 2nd or 3rd generation
➡️ These figures confirm the influence of DIAMANT’s blood on the quality of show jumping horse breeding. The closer to the Elite level, the higher the percentage of DIAMANT offspring — whether direct, through the damline, or the sireline… A truly exceptional and timeless quality!
✨ If you don’t yet have your DIAMANT, there’s still time to integrate his exceptional qualities into your breeding program
