Orient is a very handsome colt born on April 1, 2024.
He's short, powerful, inquisitive and a real live wire, so it's a good thing his mom's no novice at this.
UCS State of Mind, her mother, is a 7-year-old Oldenburg mare, already mother of L’Una d’Aghan and Milady d’Aghantwo superb fillies by Eden du Rouet.
Mindy is a daughter of Samaii and Select Beauty GF (Sempatico M * Sinclair B).
Samaii is an approved Oldenburg stallion based in England. Although his origins are predominantly dressage bloodlines, his maternal line also includes horses that have turned 135 and 140.
He is a son of Sambertino (Samber (130) * Wellington (160)) and great grandson of Nimmerdor.
Select Beauty GF, State of Mind's mother, produced UCS One Republic, which was exported to the USA.
She is the sister of two approved stallions as well as a horse that ran the 140.
Orient's father, Diamant de Semilly, needs no introduction, but in a few words:
Top stallion Selle Français, ranked Elite, he has steadily risen in the world stallion rankings, and since 2014 has been in the Top 3 of all world rankings :
Hippomundo: N°1 WORLDWIDE in 2022, 2017 and 2015, 2nd in 2016, 2020, 2021, 3rd in 2018 and 2019 (ranked by product earnings in CSI).
WBFSH: N°1 WORLDWIDE in 2015 and 2016, 2nd in 2017, 2018 , 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 3rd in 2014 (ranking of fathers of CSI winners).
In the 2019, 2020 and 2021 WBFSH Show Jumping and Eventing combined rankings, Diamant de Semilly also ranks as the world's best stallion.
He also ranks: Best Father of Fathers worldwide
Best Father of Mothers in France
Best sire of winning sport horses in show jumping in France
Orient will make an excellent sporting partner, and we're sure he'll be just as good in show jumping as he is in eventing.
