Goodbye to Hello Pierville (29), grandfather of Donatello d'Auge

Hello Pierville, a beloved companion of Susana Cereceda Épaillard, has breathed his last at the respectable age of twenty-nine. This Selle Français horse played an extraordinary role in Susana's career and even left behind a significant genetic legacy as the grandfather of the remarkable horse Donatello d’Auge. 

After an active career, Hello Pierville enjoyed years of peaceful retirement on the beautiful pastures of La Bosquetterie, where he was surrounded by care and affection from his owners, Julien Épaillard and his wife Susana Cereceda Épaillard.

The farewell of Hello Pierville has evoked a wave of nostalgia among those who knew him. The horse was not only a partner in sport but also a loyal companion and a source of inspiration for Susana, who considered him her "cheval de cœur" - her heart horse. He helped her realize her dreams at the highest level of the sport, and his influence extended even beyond her own achievements, through his genetic contribution to the success of his offspring.

Hello Pierville's contribution to the equestrian world extends beyond his own accomplishments. As the grandfather of Donatello d’Auge, he has left a legacy deeply rooted in the history of equestrianism. His calm demeanor and golden heart have not only inspired Susana but also his descendants, who have inherited his tranquil nature and continue his legacy on the racecourse.

As the equestrian community bids farewell to Hello Pierville, his legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His impact on the sport and his contribution to breeding will always be remembered as a source of inspiration and admiration. Farewell, Hello Pierville, and thank you for all you have given us.
