ALLIGATOR FONTAINE

Padre : GAYSSIRE FLEURY NOREN

" NOREN whose first name was GAYSSIRE FLEURY was bought at 3yrs old by the National Stud during the stallion show but was returned to his owner because of his behavior when breedin ! Maybe he wasnt handled as gently as required ? Nevertheless he was always very fertile but later on was always fairly delicate when breeding Which explains the low numbers of mares covered during the 6 years he bred in France . NOREN apart from being a champion was also a very engaging horse. Very tickleish, he didnt like to be fiddled with in his stable, but under the saddle, he was a force of nature, a thoroughbred in the body of a warmblood , intelligent, energetic and powerful at the same time. During the 3 years that NOREN spent at Brullemail, I rode him regularly and it was such a joy.. He came from the breeding of the little thoroughbred SIRE and a big warmblood mare ,the kind of matching that unfortunately French breeders do not do anymore." Origins
His father SIRE, good winner in flat racing, has produced numerous winnesr in CSO, even though he only bred for 4years. NOREN was the best but he also produced HONNEUR DE SIRE (ISO 158, CSI in USA), INTREPIDE E (1st Criterium 6yr olds, CSI, ISO156), IMPETUEUX (3rd 5yr old Champion, 5th Criterium 6yr olds, CSI), Finlande (7th 5yr olds, 5th 6yr olds, ISO 148), Glume (10th Champion 5yr olds, ISO 143), Idaho (ISO 145), Ivala (CSI).
SIRE was a son of MOURNE whose descendants were very talented in CSO. MOURNE who was a famous race horse stallion, bred in France and in England, and produced thoroughbred winnes in CSIO, ALCATRAZ (N. Pessoa) & CROQUETTE (G. de Balanda) as well as the stallions GARDE CŒUR & BORAN. This last one is famous mostly for being the father of the exceptional thoroughbred LAUDANUM winner in CSIO and a remarkable stallion.
