Miami de Semilly

Miami de Semilly (born 2000) is a distinguished bay Selle Français stallion standing at 1.71m. For years at the Haras de Semilly, he was touted by Eric Levallois as the horse destined to succeed the legendary Diamant de Semilly. While a career-ending injury prevented him from reaching his full international potential, he remains a staple of the Semilly program in 2026, known for his "Voltaire" elegance and exceptional jumping technique.

Before his injury, Miami was one of the most exciting prospects in France, characterized by his balance and a textbook front-leg action:

• Young Horse Dominance: He was a finalist at the French Championships in Fontainebleau at both age 5 and 6. At age 5, he was ranked "Elite" and finished 4th in the Championship while winning the 5-Year-Old Criterium.

• Grand Prix Rise: Between 2007 and 2011, he successfully moved into the 1.40m–1.45m Grand Prix circuit, securing podium finishes at venues like Auvers and La Boissière École.

• Injury & Legacy: His sports career was cut short in 2011, shifting his focus entirely to breeding. Eric Levallois famously remarked that Miami had "everything we look for: blood, balance, strength, and scope," and believed he would have been a top-level 1.60m star.

• ISO 140: His performance index remains a testament to his high-level capability prior to his retirement from sport.
