"He’s always been the kindest stallion. Brave and careful are hard combinations to find but that’s how he was in the ring. A real competitor with a gentle edge!"- Brianne Goutal-Marteau

 

Nice de Prissey is a powerful and confident stallion, both brave and careful, who during his career navigated the top courses on the international jumping scene with ease. Ridden by Brianne Goutal from 2010 until his retirement in 2019, they were nominated to the Long List for the 2012 Olympic Games and have had top placings at Falsterbo, Barcelona, WEF, and Spruce Meadows.

Nice de Prissey is the epitome of French breeding featuring incredibly influential bloodlines. He is by Rosire, who is by the well-known and significant Selle Francais stallion Uriel. Uriel was a prolific stallion who contributed to French breeding by producing over 50 licensed stallions, the most notable being Rosire, Le Prince de Thurin, Nuriel, Paladin des Ifs, Si Tu Viens, and Arpege Pierreville. Uriel also sired Calvados, originally called Sable Rose, who became a major influencer in Holland’s development of their jumper breeding program. 

​

Nice de Prissey is linebred with noteworthy thoroughbred bloodlines that are seen in today’s modern international show jumpers. Ajax xx, Teddy xx, Orange Peel xx, and Cyllene xx are found throughout his pedigree in both his sire and dam . Examples of the contributions from these stallions can be found in Jus de Pomme, Ibrahim (Alme Z), Plein d’Espoirs, Nankin, and Montigny (Viscount, Fil D’Argent) . Nice’s dam sire, Amarpour xx, has both Nearco xx and Teddy xx in his pedigree, and he is also the dam sire of Venise des Cresles, who is the dam of renowned stallion Diamant de Semilly.
