Mylord Carthago was conceived by embryo transfer by owners Paule and Jean-Louis Bourdy Dubois and was born on June 26, 2000.

[1][2] He is the offspring of Holsteiner stallion Carthago Z and the Selle Français mare Fragrance de Chalus.

[3] The Haras Nationaux in France bought him in 2005 and entrusted him to rider Emmanuel Vincent, who put him through the classic cycle and spotted his potential.

[clarification needed] In 2007, the stallion joined show jumping rider Pénélope Leprevost, who gradually made him her top horse.

[2] In his book Galops, writer Jérôme Garcin describes the emotion of the Equidia Life [fr] team when they met Pénélope Leprévost and her horse in private.

[7][8] Doubts were mounting about his return to top competition, and his groom put a lot of effort into getting him back in shape.

In 2014, he returned to his highest level, winning the RMC Grand Prix at the Jumping International de France.

[4][12] The agency responsible for the sale issued a press release on June 3, specifying that Mylord Carthago would remain with his rider until sold, would have to wear the French colors and could not be tested under saddle.

[4] Just as the stallion's departure for Germany was announced, the sale was cancelled thanks to the initiative of two French veterinarians, who set up a private company.

[21][failed verification] Over the years, Mylord Carthago has built up a national and then international record of achievements.
