Quattro is a Selle Francais stallion birth name 'Ciel d' Espoir'. He has show jumped at Grand Prix level himself. Two of his offspring competed in the Athens Olympics - Quando Quando in Dressage and Oliver Q in the show jumping. I believe Oliver Q won the World Cup SJ Qualifier last weekend.
Quattro was bred at a small stud near Cherbourg and I am lucky enough to have both a colt and filly from the same dam line hence my knowledge!
I believe his stock are much in demand in the dressage world and several have sold through the Botterells sale at Addington.

Incidentally, I did hear (and I stress rumour only as I have no proof) that his semen was not good. However I think he has been with the Nijhof's this year and that it is now much better quality. The Nijhof's are excellent at sending chilled/frozen semen to UK either direct or better through World Class Stallions who then have to make all the airport/vet transport arrangements which can be quite hairy!

I am indeed!
Has always been the plan when I finish college to put the ginger one in foal, have already lined up a stallion to put her to first to guve this whole AI thing a crack and see how she takes to it (has had 3 foals already but always been naturally covered).
Getting all excited now

I think I'll really start looking into his conception rates nearer the time if he's still on my shortlist

He looks very, very nice and his progeny certainly seem to be doing the business

Totally off the point, but my Bo was hand-reared by Henk Nijhof I found out recently
