In 10 days' time, the 20 selected performers will take up residence in Normandy in preparation for the auction.

Aged from four- to nine-years-old, they have been selected to meet both professional and amateur targets. With a perfect veterinary check-up, they all have the potential to fulfill great sporting careers.

They will be available for trial from Tuesday, August 8 to Saturday, August 12 at noon at the Haras du Barquet, near Deauville. Book your trial!

Some 15 exceptional foals and embryos will also be presented for sale on Saturday August 12, at the Pôle International du Cheval Longines Deauville.
