Nantuel was approved by the Selle Français studbook at the age of 3; Zangersheide followed a little later. He was a finalist at the French national championships for 4-year-old horses, won the Master title among Selle Français stallions at age 5, and finished fourth at the French championships in Fontainebleau. He was ninth at the French Championship for 6-year-olds and made it to the World Championship finals in the 7-year-olds.

An injury took the stallion out of the sport for a while but now he will make his comeback under the saddle of Leprevost.
