🐎 Mylord Carthago — The Horse of a Lifetime
Some horses make history. Others make hearts race. Mylord Carthago did both. 💫
This stunning grey stallion captured the world’s attention under Pénélope Leprevost, who lovingly described him as “the horse of a lifetime, the horse of my heart.” Intelligent, powerful, and full of blood, Mylord combined brilliance and bravery — a true modern showjumping legend.
🌟 A Stellar Career
From a young age, Mylord Carthago proved he was destined for greatness:
Finalist at the Lanaken World Young Horse Championships at ages 4, 5, and 6 — and 4th at age 7.
Represented France in elite international competition from 2004 to 2012.
🥈 Team Silver Medals at the 2010 World Equestrian Games (Kentucky) and 2011 European Championships (Madrid) — plus a 7th-place individual finish.
Competed at the 2012 London Olympics and numerous CSI5* Grand Prix victories, including Helsinki, Vienna, and Paris.
Part of winning Nations Cup teams at Aachen and Gijon, and champion of the Vienna GCT Grand Prix, Gucci Paris Masters, and Prix RMC at La Baule.
🧬 Bloodlines of Champions
Sired by the legendary Carthago Z, who himself competed in the Atlanta and Sydney Olympics, Mylord inherited not only talent but a dynasty of excellence.
His dam, Fragrance de Chalus, produced multiple international stallions, including Norton d’Eole and Bamako de Muze — a testament to one of the most powerful Selle Français dam lines in modern breeding.
🐴 The Legacy Continues
As a sire, Mylord Carthago has passed on his scope, temperament, and impeccable technique to the next generation.
He has already produced multiple Grand Prix jumpers, including the phenomenal Twenty Two des Biches, who placed 4th in the Al Ain GP at just 10 years old.
With 18 licensed sons (like Valmy de la Lande), Mylord continues to shape the future of international showjumping.
💫 More Than a Champion
Mylord Carthago is more than his medals — he is proof that heart, intelligence, and harmony create timeless partnerships. His name will forever stand among the greats who elevated equestrian sport to an art form.
