Selle Français
The Selle Français (pronounced "Sell-fron-SAY") is France's most important sport horse. It is renowned primarily for its success as a show jumper, but many have also been successful in dressage and eventing.
Since then the Selle Français has become the epitome of what a sport horse should be, athletic, strong with good conformation and an intelligent and tractable disposition. The Selle Français has excelled internationally in show jumping.
The Selle Français was named a breed in 1958, with its first stud book published in 1965. The Selle Français was created by crossing regional breeds with trotters, Thoroughbreds, Arabians, and Anglo-Arabians.
The Selle Français today continues to be an amagalmation of breeds, with 33 percent from Thoroughbred sires, 20 percent by Anglo-Arab, two percent by French Trotters and 45 percent by Selle Français stallions.
