El Star Semilly

El Star Semilly (born 2014) is a compact, muscular bay Selle Français stallion standing at 1.65m. He is famously described as a "ball of muscle with a heart as big as he is." Representing a "Golden Cross" of French breeding—Quick Star and Le Tot de Semilly—he mirrors the pedigree of the World Vice-Champion Orient Express. In 2026, he is a primary choice for breeders looking to inject reactivity, extreme willingness, and "blood" into their programs.

El Star has been a standout in the French young horse cycle and has successfully transitioned into a reliable international speed and Grand Prix horse:

• Young Horse Royalty: He was crowned the Vice-Champion of France (4-Year-Old Indoor) and earned the prestigious "Elite" title at age 5, finishing as the 5th best jumper of his generation in France.

• Grand Prix Consistency: Ridden by Dylan Levallois, he has been a consistent ribbon-winner in 1.40m and 1.45m Grand Prix classes. Notable rankings include top finishes at Fontainebleau (CSIU25), Deauville, and the Grand National of Compiègne.

• ISO 136: His index reflects his reliability as a quick, careful, and technically sound performer who "gives everything to his rider."
