About Quick Star
Quick Star is a (died 2011) bay Selle Français showjumping stallion foaled in 1982, by Galoubet A out of a Nithard X dam.
Quick Star, a remarkable Selle Français stallion, was born in 1982 to the esteemed bloodlines of Galoubet A and Stella. His sire, Galoubet A, was a bay Selle Français by Almé, contributing a legacy of athletic prowess and competitive spirit. Quick Star's dam, Stella, was a bay mare, notable for her own international showjumping career with Nelson Pessoa before her invaluable contribution to breeding. Quick Star was bred by Dian Empain, marking the beginning of an illustrious lineage that would impact the showjumping world significantly.
In the competitive sphere, Quick Star made an indelible mark, performing under the reins of Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum. His victories in prestigious events such as the Grand Prix of Palm Beach in 1989 and Maastricht in 1992 highlighted his capabilities in the international arena. These accolades not only underscored his athleticism but also catapulted Michaels-Beerbaum to broader recognition on the global stage. Quick Star's contributions extended beyond his competitive achievements, as his genetics enriched breeding programs worldwide.
Quick Star cemented his legacy through his offspring, who have achieved notable success in international showjumping. Among his progeny, Big Star stands out, having secured an Olympic gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics. Another of his successful offspring, Quick Study, gained fame in Grand Prix circuits. Quick Star's genetic influence permeates the showjumping world, marking him as a foundational sire in the sport.
Quick Star died in 2011. Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
