Footloze Des Douits (“Frankie”) Is the Perfect Mount for a Competitive Junior or Adult Amateur Rider Aiming to Excel in Ranking Classes
Westminster Sport Horse Sales’ Footloze Des Douits (Quadrio Tame x Diamant De Semilly), fondly known as “Frankie,” was imported from France as an eight-year-old in the Spring of 2023. Frankie has already shown incredible potential, competing to 1.35m in Europe.
This exceptional sport horse is for sale at Westminster Show Stables—our hunter jumper equestrian facility in Bend, Oregon. Frankie is ready to take on new challenges with his next rider!
Impressive Pedigree
When we first discovered Frankie, we were impressed with his top-notch breeding. His sire, Quadrio Tame, has competed to the 1.50m level on the international stage, demonstrating exceptional talent and athleticism.
On his dam’s side, Frankie’s mother, Jade de la Rose, hails from the renowned sire Diamant de Semilly. He was one of the most prestigious and successful sport horses in France and his name is synonymous with top breeding lines in the equestrian world.
Success in the U.S.
Frankie began his competitive career in the United States at the Desert International Horse Park in 2023. In May and June 2024, Frankie showed up at Thunderbird Horse Park, securing top placings in his classes. In July 2024, he shone at the Oregon High Desert Classics, where he was Reserve Champion in the 1.30m division and went on to win the Mini Prix—all on a grass field.
This versatile and athletic sport horse will continue competing at the 1.30m level in Fall 2024 in the Sunshine Series at Desert International Horse Park. As he progresses in his development here in the U.S., we anticipate that Frankie will soon reach the 1.40m level!
Ideal Sport Horse Temperament
Frankie is the embodiment of a true sport horse. He exudes charm, intelligence, and a genuine love for his job. He approaches each jump with a competitive attitude, showcasing supreme confidence in his abilities.

A Barn Favorite
Beyond his physical talents, Frankie is a favorite around our Bend show barn due to his friendly and affectionate nature.
