From a very early age the 1.68m bay Holsteiner stallion Quel Homme de Hus by Quidam de Revel<\/em> (SF) and P-Hawaii<\/em> (HOLS) by Quandillo<\/em> has been travelling all over Europe! Born in 2006 at Dr Andreas Kosicki\u2019s<\/a>, he is acquired at an auction as a 2.5 year-old by the Haras de Hus<\/a> where he starts his schooling. Then, in 2013 he leaves the Haras de Hus to move to Tal Milstein\u2019s stables <\/a>until 2014 when he joins Gaetan Decroix\u2019s Eden Farm<\/a> in Calvados. He has been living with his current rider and co-owner Jerome Guery<\/a> since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the occasion of the 1st leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour in Doha, our special correspondent <\/em>Clemence Deman<\/em><\/a> got to spend a fun moment with Quel Homme and his groom Kirsty!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where does your name come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have absolutely no idea but as my sire is Quidam de Revel my name starts with a Q as well! My nickname is QH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are actually trying to give most of my foals a name which starts with \u201cQuel\u201d such as: Quel Artiste, Quel Amour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you live? Can you describe your stables?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My stables<\/a> are located in Sart-Dames-Avelines in Belgium, between Waterloo and Charleroi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My groom Kirsty<\/a> lives on site in a flat above the stables so she can keep an eye on me! Saying that, she loves me so much she has become very biased <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our stable is big. It is divided into 4 corridors, one of which is fully dedicated to the stallions. My box is the first on the right-hand side in the stallions\u2019 stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get on with your stable mates?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an extremely nice horse for a stallion. However, at home you are on my turf and I am the king of the domain. The stables are mine. Is that clear enough?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very gentle when I\u2019m in my box. I never cause any problem. However, when I am being walked in the house stables I shout, to show that I am right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I walk past to go and get ready, I make a point of making sure everyone knows that Quel Homme is walking past and that he is around. I\u2019m the boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you like most about your rider?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerome<\/a> takes me for what I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a rather playful horse, even in the arena. I can\u2019t stand being pressured. I am easy as long as I am asked to play rather than forced to work. And Jerome does exactly that: he goes along with my personality instead of forcing me to do exercises that I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your best skill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mindset is my true strength!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a horse with an extremely well balanced mental. So there is no need to worry with me, nor to be permanently on alert. There is absolutely no issue whether I have to change arena or face an impressive jump. My rider needs not be concerned. With me there is no: \u00ab QH may look here, QH may stop here\u2026\u201d. I have a balanced mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your worst flaw? What is the worst mischief you got into?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t have any, I am perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go on, I\u2019ll be honest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I get home after a competition it is better to hurry and run to my stable. At last! I\u2019m home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I trot down the lorry, I shout a lot. I have to show to everyone around that I am back at my home. You never know! One of the youngest might get big headed in my absence and decide to replace me as the king!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your guilty pleasure? Do you sometimes act like a diva? Do you have passing fancies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t stand waiting when we have reached the arena. And I only do that when we attend a competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am being re-saddled, I kick with my forefoot like an idiot because I want to get inside the arena. I am just in a hurry to compete. Whenever my girth is tightened or the saddle adjusted and I have to wait for Jerome to climb on my back, I can\u2019t help it I kick with my forefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite colour?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love\u00a0black<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0white<\/a>\u00a0as I am black. Orange is OK too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which dream would you like to come true in your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To compete in the Olympic Games! By the way it is also J\u00e9r\u00f4me\u2019s dream <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite activity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love being in the fields and I love competing! Competing is for sure my thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes you feel the happiest?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pretty mare and above all my little treat when I get out of the arena. I love sweets. I have a sweet tooth <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you dislike most in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can be quite impatient. I don\u2019t like waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am being ridden it is better to climb on my back pretty quickly. If I have to wait for too long it gets on my nerves and I am going to show it. Isn\u2019t it normal for a star?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if I have decided that it is actually OK to wait for a bit \u2013 if I am relaxing under the UV lamps with my massage blanket for example \u2013 I can be patient and I will wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beware, if I am being ignored I won\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has been your best memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which frame of mind are you in at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In great shape <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a small winter break after competing in Geneva<\/a> where I performed very well. I took a holiday break afterwards during which I kept working to stay in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to the beach in Oliva<\/a> where I spent 3 weeks. I jumped a few rounds before the major competition of the Longines Global Champions Tour in Doha<\/a> with the Monaco Aces Team<\/a>. I am in such good mental and physical shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a life motto you would like to share with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enter the arena to win not to look pretty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we keep up to date with your news?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Jerome\u2019s Insta<\/a> and FB<\/a> accounts. And also on my co-owner Gaetan Decroix <\/a>\u2019s account as well as the Instagram account of the breeding farm Eden Farm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
