The Selle Français Studbook has for the first time in history approved some non-French born sires. This might be a first sign of a more global attitude towards the French breeders community. A total of seven stallions got approved for the Selle Français. They were selected based on their results and offsprings. The seven new SF sires are; Casall (Caretino x Lavall I), Emerald (Diamant de Semilly x Carthago), Van Gogh (Numero Uno x Bernstein), Vleut (Quick Star x Cantus), Eldorado van de Zeshoek (Clinton x Toulon), Quality Bois Margot (L’Arc de Triomphe x Quidam de Revel) and Liberto de Kreisker (Quito de Baussy x Muguet du Manoir).
