Herve Godignon is a legendary member of the international show
jumping scene, and the list of horses he has ridden to victory
reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the sport. Herve
has ridden in countless World Cup Finals and Championship events,
and was a member of France’s Bronze Medal Team at the 1992
Barcelona Olympic Games.
Herve has recently been enjoying the most success with Calypso
d’Herbiers, a selle francais stallion that he has been riding
for 12 years. Fittingly, the pair won the inaugural ‘Jump
Eure’ Grand Prix, held during the first competition mounted
at Haras Seabird, which also marked the launch of the ‘Jump
for a JustWorld’ initiative in Europe. Located exactly 50
miles from the heart of Paris, Haras Seabird is home to Herve
and his wife, Olivia. Interestingly, both of his parents are journalists.
