After an impressive career with no fewer than 97 international wins, Harold Boisset’s T’Obetty du Domaine (Kashmir van Schuttershof x Diams du Grasset, bred by M. Christian Moulin and owned by Bertrand Barascud) has retired from the sport. The mare, now 18 years old, closes a chapter filled with top-level performances.
“My Toto, my Queen. Words are not enough to express my gratitude and admiration,” Boisset wrote on social media as he announced the news, paying tribute to his extraordinary mare. “You made me a winner in virtually every competition in Europe. From the age of six to seventeen you jumped at 5* level, and together we became one of the fastest and most consistent combinations in the ring.”
The French rider looked back at their results: 97 international victories, supplemented by 55 podium finishes. “You are the mare of my life, and together we formed a wonderful pair all these years.”
Boisset and T’Obetty du Domaine made their international debut in 2013. From then on, they piled up wins at two- to five-star shows across venues such as Oliva, Bonheiden, Royan, Courlans, Fontainebleau, Aix-Meyreuil, Maubeuge, Lons le Saunier, Samorin, Vermezzo, Ascona, Valence, Nancy, Lisbon, and Paris.
Recent successes were no exception: in 2024 they claimed victories in the CSI5*-W 1.50m Prix Boehringer Ingelheim in Lyon, the CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix of Dinard, and the CSI4* 1.50m Prix Audevard in Chantilly. On top of that, they secured two CSI3* 1.50m wins in Haras de Gassin, shortly before their final joint international appearance this past May.
