Tweedie & Associates Equine Veterinary Services in partnership with Groupe France Elevage are pleased to present to Australian breeders, six of the best jumping stallions Europe has to offer.
We are pleased to be able to offer breeders using approved veterinary clinics, the most attractive breeding terms ever offered for imported frozen semen in Australia. Approved veterinary clinics have been selected based on their wealth of equine reproduction expertise and their excellent reputations with the veterinary profession. Breeders using these clinics will have access to six doses of frozen semen and a live foal guarantee. Please read the contract for the sale of frozen semen to breeders using an approved veterinary clinic for more information.
Of course, there are many excellent equine reproduction veterinarians practicing in Australia. We appreciate that many breeders would prefer to continue using their current veterinary clinic, so we have ensured that frozen semen will still be available to breeders using the veterinarian of their choice. Please read the contract for the sale of frozen semen to breeders using a non-approved veterinary clinic for more information.
France’s number one stallion. By the legendary Voltaire out of a Nimmerdor / Le Mexico mare! He was a Grand Prix winner and his progeny are already out and winning at a Grand Prix level. According to GFE principal, Arnaud Evain: ‘A son of the famous Voltaire, Kannan has become available after a fabulous competitive career, just at the time that his progeny are showing exceptional ability on the international stage. Power, carefulness and a tough competitive spirit characterize the progeny of Kannan.’
Kannan Progeny:
Kannan offspring are performing well in Europe. All are showing a good technique over a fence as well as a trainable attitude. They all have good scope over a fence and the ability to deal with more technical courses. Not only are Kannan offspring performing in the showjumping arena, they are also starting to show extreme talent for eventing. For example, Pippa Funnell (GB) rode Billy Shannon a son of Kannan to win the 5yr old young event horse class at Burghley! This horse has continued his career with Pippa Funnell (GB).

JAZZ BAND COURCELLE

$1,900
According to Arnaud Evain: 'Jazz Band Courcelle is the pure product of 50 years of 'French selection' of sport horses. His sire Le Tot de Sémilly, his dam's sire Almé and his grandam's sire Sans Souci, were competitors at the highest level. His dam Dancing Bride was a good jumper at level 1m 40 as a 6 year old before entering the stud at seven. His grand-dam Kalinka and his great-grand-dam Tournebride, were both champions at CSI level.
This family has produced many international winners, including the Olympic Champion in Mexico, Pitou (eventing) and the World Champion Kenavo with Janou Lefebvre in show jumping. Jazz Band Courcelle was himself vice-champion of the 7 year old class at the World Championships in Lanaken and a CSI winner before being injured in 2007. Last year four of the six qualifying events for the final of the 3 year old stallions approval in France were won by Jazz Band Courcelle's colts. His strong points are his pedigree, his excellent temperament and his scope.

This is a true German French fusion. His sire, L'Arc de Triomphe was born in Oldenburg by Landor S out of a Pilot mare, and his French dam is by Grand Veneur out of an Ibrahim mare. In 2007 he was crowned the Supreme Champion of 3 year old Selle Français Stallions at St Lô.
According to Arnaud Evain: “Quool du Bois Margot delivers the style and movement of his father with the character and calmness of his grandfather. He is a half-brother on his mother's side to many champions and an heir to one of the very best Selle Français bloodlines which has produced Olympic champions Joyau d'Or, Barbarian and other champions including Rox de la Touche. He has stamped his first generation of foals with his build and his movement.'
