Quickly de Kreisker is a Selle Français show jumping stallion born on February 5, 2004, at a stud in Finistère. Sired by Diamant de Semilly and Briseis d'Helby by Laudanum, he was sold by the Fences agency as a two-year-old. He spent several years in France on the classic cycle, trained by Benjamin Robert and Bruno Souloumiac's Breton stables. At the end of 2012, King Mohammed VI of Morocco bought him under Marcel Rozier's supervision, and entrusted him to Abdelkebir Ouaddar, a Moroccan rider.
The pair, trained by Rozier in the Paris region, proved to be an excellent match. Quickly de Kreisker reached the highest level, with "dazzling" progress in 2013 and 2014. In particular, he took second place at Jumping International de France, and the Morocco Royal Tour two years running. Quickly de Kreisker was regularly No. 1 in the world jumping horse rankings at the start of the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but stayed away from the showgrounds in subsequent years.
Highly appreciated by both French and Moroccan audiences, he is officially retired on December 20, 2020.
