Ulysse des Forets

Ulysse des Forets, the fantastic mare belonging to Steve Guerdat, combines the genes of absolute top sires Jalisco B, Le Tot de Semilly and Papillon Rouge in her pedigree. This mare gives us not only the best French blood but also a pedigree that is truly full of international sport horses. Ulysse herself jumped at 1.60m level and obtained various podium places at multiple 5* Grand Prix competitions, including the World Cup in Madrid and the Oslo Grand Prix in 2018. Her sister Unanime des Forets jumps at 1.55m level, and the younger Vents des Forets and Electro des Forets are both at the start of a successful international career. Her grandmother Grace des Forets is dam of Un Diamant des Forets (1.60m) and Vivaldi des Forets (1.50m). Of course the ‘des Forets’ pedigree also includes the legendary Zirocco Blue, who was born under the name Quamikase des Forets.

When Steve Guerdat talks about Ulysse, he does so with the utmost respect: “Ulysse is a fantastic mare. When in the ring, she knew exactly what to do at each moment. She was extremely careful and had a huge heart. She was always willing to fight for me and had a very competitive spirit. I am convinced that I would never have been the worlds's number one for so long if I hadn't had Ulysse... I am not a breeder but if her descendants were to inherit only 50% of her mentality, they will undoubtedly become true superstars!”
