About Norton d'Eole
Norton d'Eole is a Grey showjumping stallion foaled in 2001, by Dobel's Cento out of a Jalisco B dam.
Norton d'Eole, a grey Selle Français stallion foaled on May 4, 2001, stands out for his remarkable lineage and his own competitive achievements in the showjumping arena. Bred by Haras d’Eole and owned by EARL Haras d’Eole, Norton d'Eole showcases a blend of Selle Français and Holsteiner bloodlines, being sired by Dobel's Cento and out of Fragance de Chalus by the legendary Jalisco B. His sire, Dobel's Cento, achieved international fame with team medals at both the Sydney and Athens Olympics under Otto Becker, emphasizing the strong sporting heritage that Norton d'Eole inherits.
Norton d'Eole's own competition career began with notable successes, such as being classified as 'Elite' at the Fontainebleau at five years old with a 5th place finish in the Championship. His performance was equally impressive at Lanaken, where he was the highest-placed Selle Français. At six, he achieved an impressive 20 clear rounds out of 23 and qualified for the finals at both Fontainebleau and Lanaken. His triumphs continued in 2008 with wins in the 'Future Elite' at Canteleu and 1m40 Grand Prix victories at Henin Beaumont, and he was a finalist in both the French and World Championships for 7-year-olds. Norton d'Eole's international competitiveness was further highlighted by a 7th place at the CSI3* Beervelde and 4th at the CSI3* Sandillon. His competitive journey culminated in 2015 with a 1.50m event at Hardelot CSI3* with rider Eric Dewulf.
Norton d'Eole has made his mark as a breeding stallion since entering stud in 2007, with his most prominent progeny being Made in’t Ruytershof, a jumper competing at the prestigious 1.60m level. His noteworthy offspring exemplifies the strong genetics passed down from both Norton and his impressive lineage, indicating significant potential for success in international arenas. Although comprehensive records of his progeny's achievements are limited, Norton d'Eole's contribution to showjumping breeding remains impactful.
