Grand Quest-Bell, the 2019 Danish Warmblood Colt Foal Champion, has been sold to Sweden. He has joined Lovsta Stutteri as a new ride for Caroline Darcourt.

Grand Quest-Bell is a 2019 born Danish warmblood gelding by Grand Galaxy Win out of Madison-Bell (by Blue Hors Don Romantic x Michellino x Manstein). He is bred by Tina & Nicolai Jepsen.

DWB Colt Foal Champion

He is a full brother to the licensed stallion Giovanni Bell and his dam Madison-Bell is the full sister to former Danish team horse Marshall-Bell.

Grand Quest-Bell came into the spotlight when he was a foal winning the 2019 Danish Warmblood Foal Championship in the colt category. At the time the DWB inspection committee described him as "a wonderfully beautiful model, with lots of expression and radiance, a suitable degree of nobility and not least excellent function."

He was first ridden and competed by co-owner Louise Sogaard. Victoria Vallentin rode him in a saddle test to score 830 points.

Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour and the Zinglersen family bought him as a 5-year old in January 2024. Dufour's assistant rider Janni Dietz competed him in three tests in 2023, including placing 6th in the consolation finals of the 2024 Danish Young Horse Championships. In 2025 the horse did not compete and he returned to the arena with Dietz in January 2026 at MB-level. Dufour only showed him once, on 27 June 2026, at M-level to a winning score of 74,057%

Sold to Sweden

Grand Quest Bell has now been sold to Lovsta Stutteri and Caroline Darcourt has taken over the ride.

"I am very happy with him," Darcourt told Eurodressage. She also stated "I'm pinching myself. I'm incredibly happy and grateful for him."

Darcourt has been a long-time team rider at Lovsta Stuteri working alongside Tinne Vilhelmson. She is currently competing Bournonville (by Bon Bravour x Loudini) and Lord Django (by Stalypso x Londonderry) at international Grand Prix level and has Belgian warmblood stallion Racoon (by Hero x De Niro) at small tour level coming along.
