Herald

Herald (also known as Herald 3 or Herald III, born 1998) is a refined dark bay Holsteiner stallion standing at 1.69m. He is a "blood" specialist with an incredible 74.3% Thoroughbred blood in his pedigree. Renowned for his extreme longevity and "warrior" heart, he spent over eight years at the 5* international level before becoming a staple of the Haras de Semilly and GFE (Groupe France Élevage) rosters. In 2026, he remains one of the world's most trusted sires for injecting stamina, elegance, and mental toughness into modern sport horses.

Herald’s career is a masterclass in durability and class, having been successful under some of the world's greatest riders:

• International Dominance: Under riders like Eric Lamaze, Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum, and Pilar Cordon, Herald recorded major victories, including the CSIO5 Nations Cup of Barcelona* and the CSI3 Grand Prix of Saint-Lô*.

• Global Stages: He was a participant at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington and placed consistently in World Cup Qualifiers and CSI5* events (e.g., 3rd in the 1.60m at Geneva).

• ** Longevity:** He competed at the top level for nearly a decade, a feat attributed to his exceptional soundness and "feline" agility.
