About Fair Play III

Fair Play III is a (died 1980) Bay Selle Français showjumping stallion foaled in 1971, by Quastor out of a Furioso XX dam.

Fair Play III was a Selle Français stallion born in 1971 in the Manche region of France. Bred by Jean Brohier, his sire was Quastor with lineage linking to Ibrahim and The Last Orange, while his dam, Ma Pomme, descended from the Thoroughbred Furioso XX. This lineage equipped Fair Play III with a renowned pedigree instrumental to the evolution of modern sport horses. Though he never gained individual international fame, he showed exceptional performance up to Class A in his early years before his career was cut short by his death from tetanus at age nine in 1980. With an ISO of 144, he demonstrated the potential for a successful career had it not ended prematurely. Fair Play III's impact lies in his stud contributions from 1975 to 1978, during which he influenced the Selle Français breed with progeny that excelled in showjumping.

Fair Play III sired several influential offspring, most notably Narcos II and Narcotique, both of whom have left significant marks on the showjumping world. Narcos II, born in 1979, stands out as a stallion of considerable renown, contributing continuously to the Selle Français breed with numerous successful progeny. Narcotique too emerged as a competitive force, underscoring Fair Play III's legacy of producing showjumpers with exceptional performance qualities.

Fair Play III died in 1980 (tetanus). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
