AUTUMN 2012
If 2012 gave Persikland, some
great moments of glory (and
it’s not over yet!)with notably
the double 160km victories of
Easy Font Noire, also the
victories of Assiha de Fignols,
Kilim de Fignols, Maat el
Nedj, Olympik Larzac, Adara
Sauveterre, Dieldika Hippoly-
te, Dakar Fontnoire …. 2011
had already seen the crow-
ning of 8 our products and a
World Champion (Persepolia
Larzac). It’s not just chance
that we have exceptional
results year after year : Hana-
ba du Bois ( 2007 European
champion), the winners Gan-
da Koy, Denoura, Lima du
Barthas, Hornika, Izba du
Caussanel, Gourbi, Indian
Tawfik, Shaman, Nedjem
d’Aurieres Issane el Faysset,
Jeloua Sauveterre, Antares
Sauveterre, Haoussa and Me-
diatik Larzac etc…so many
winners, exported for the
most part, who honour our
beloved rocky terrain in the
four corners or the world...

Our environment
(limestone
uplands,climate,altit
ude, plants) and
extensive grazing
methods give our
horses an extra phy-
sical boost
(assimilation of oli-
go-elements essen-
tial for enduran-
ce,bone density,
strong limbs,hard
hooves,agility..)-
which gives us a
greater percentage
of good and very
good products.
Today,when we look at results and
performances of genetically equiva-
lent horses (disregarding trai-ning and rider),our horses have a dis-
tinct advantage on the starting line...

daughters.

« Persikland »horses? CM : They are nearly all very hardy, physically tough and mentally well-balanced. However, one mustn’t forget that they are later developers, and one must wait for them
to mature.
Do you think our horses are still « in the running » with the increasing
speeds and size of horses? CM : Of course they are still « in the running » ! When a horse is good, it doesn’t matter if he’s small. Just look for example at our winners of this year, Assiha de Fignols and Easy Fontnoire,they are not big, and
so what?
Have you any new horses from our stud farms ready to take over from all
these champions? CM : Yes, several. Particularly my special favourite, Djal-’ah’s very last foal, REVE du Sauveterre, who started his career at 7 years old.. He is my horse but I’m lending him to Lau-
Is it a bit of a love story between you and Persikland? CM : It’s true,I’ve ridden lots of excellent horses but most of them come from Persikland ! My very first victory ,already twenty years ago was with a pure « Vassas » : Diadur ! I was racing alongside Denis Pesce, my mentor, and I admit I was a bit of a passenger… then he said to me that it was the right moment to « go for it»! It was he who taught me how to win ... Then my father,seeing how keen I was, went to see Francis Poujol to choose a foal for me. In the herd he fell in love with Djal’ah whose foal was …Tango d’Ayres. This foal was already reserved but he promised us the next one: this was DYNAMIK… and everyo-ne knows that Dynamik is my horse-of-a-lifetime He performed with me, and then for the Emirates before coming back to me for his retirement-Sheikh Mohamed even gave me back the owner’s certificate ! What do you particularly like about
rent for Tartas. As for Khalil Fontnoire, Laurent will take him to Santa Susanna to try and do as well as Kilim last year
