The future of the French State Studfarm is under fire. Breeders, stallion owners and riders now question how the future will be with the top horses owned by the French government. Padock du Plessis, Mylord Carthago and many others belong to that select group. But how will it continue, latest reports even state that those horses are for rent... Also Flipper d'Elle (Double Espoir x Jalisco B) its future is unknown. The 21-year-old stallion rode to many successes under the saddle of Laurent Goffinet. After he was available for breeding. Many of his offsprings belong to the top of the world now. Mediator (SF), Napoleon Z (Z and SF), Natif d'Or (SF), Nelson des Forrêts (SF), Orient D'Elle (SF) and many others are just some of the examples. Elise Goffinet, Laurent Goffinet's partner, is concerned about Flipper's destiny. That is why she asks the government to sell Flipper to the family Goffinet. "He deserves to spend his last years with the people who loved him..."
