Non Stop

Non Stop (1990–2022) was a legendary dark bay Belgian Warmblood (BWP) stallion standing at 1.70m. A powerhouse of the Haras de Semilly stallion roster for over two decades, he was widely regarded as the best-performing son of the great Darco. He was a rare "triple threat" in breeding: an elite international winner, a producer of world-class athletes, and a progenitor known for passing on exceptional rideability and an "unbeatable" temperament.

Non Stop was one of those rare athletes who could win in every format, from technical indoor Grand Prix to the grueling outdoor Derbies:

• International Grand Prix Winner: Under the saddles of legends Nelson Pessoa and Tony Hassmann, he won some of the most prestigious classes in the world, including the Grand Prix of Hamburg and the CSIO Mechelen.

• The Derby Specialist: He was a master of the Derby, notably winning the Hamburg Derby, one of the ultimate tests of a horse's courage and stamina.

• Young Horse Champion: His winning streak started early; he was the Best 5-Year-Old Stallion at the Zangersheide World Championships and the 6-Year-Old Champion of Belgium.

• Record Score: At his stallion licensing as a 3-year-old, he earned a near-perfect 27/30 for free showjumping.
