Quickly de Kreisker is a Selle Français show jumping stallion born on February 5, 2004, at a stud in Finistère.
He spent several years in France on the classic cycle, trained by Benjamin Robert and Bruno Souloumiac's Breton stables.
At the end of 2012, King Mohammed VI of Morocco bought him under Marcel Rozier's supervision, and entrusted him to Abdelkebir Ouaddar, a Moroccan rider.
He was bought by Liliane Fromer of the Blés breeding farm at Hurbache in the Vosges and by an Italian buyer, for the total sum of 60,000 euros.
[2] Quickly did not take part in the final of the classic cycle at Fontainebleau that year, as his owner felt he was not ready.
He took part in his first CSI (Concours de saut internationaux) and the World Young Horse Championships in Lanaken, reaching the final.
[3] Quickly's most recent victories under the saddle of rider Benjamin Robert for his Breton stables were the 2-star international jumping competition - CSI2* in Auvers and the CSI3* in Caen, on October 21, 2012.
[3] Abdelkebir Ouaddar mentions Quickly to his trainer, Marcel Rozier, who arranges a trial under the supervision of Moulay Abdellah Alaoui, President of the Royal Moroccan Equestrian Federation.
[3] The Frenchman Marcel Rozier oversees the transaction with Bruno Souloumiac's stable on behalf of the Royal Moroccan Mare,[1][4] in his opinion being discreet and faster than the competition.
[5] As part of exchanges between the Brittany region and Morocco, King Mohammed VI became the new owner of Quickly de Kreisker, officially entrusting him to Moroccan rider Abdelkebir Ouaddar at the end of 2012.
Quickly's exceptional abilities and Marcel Rozier's training program are cited among the reasons for Abdelkebir Ouaddar's success.
[9] The pair's rise proved to be "meteoric",[6] as in the space of a year and a half they went from being unknowns in equestrian sports to the world's show jumping elite.
[14] On December 6, 2013, Quickly and Abdelkebir completed an impressive run at the Gucci Masters, finishing 3rd in the GDE prize.
[17] During the 2014 World Equestrian Games, Quickly made a mistake when crossing the river during the first round of the show jumping competition.
[19] They also won the CSI5* Al Shaqab in Doha in March, two seconds ahead of the world's #1 rider, Scott Brash.
[26] At 1.65 m, Quickly is a rather small stallion for show jumping:[1] Abdelkebir calls him "my double pony" because of his size and modest appearance.
[27] Although he may seem to lack strength and ability at first glance, Quickly makes up for it with a powerful hock, great suppleness and real intelligence on the bars.
Abdelkebir believes that Quickly is a genius with the character of a star, wants to share his joy of being with spectators and loves encouragement.
[10] His breeder Guillaume Ansquer testifies that he was a very gentle and respectful foal with a lot of energy and chic, qualities he kept by remaining a whole horse.
In his sixth year, again with Benjamin Robert, he won the Cycle Classique 8 times, finishing 8th in the Championship and 24th in the Grand Critérium.
1 show jumping horse in the WBFSH rankings in July 2014, a position he lost and then regained for the period from October 1, 2014, to March 31, 2015.
Briseis is a descendant of Son Altesse (1940), a mare who left her mark on Selle Français maternal lines.
