Le Diamant Horta’s sire is top-class French stallion Diamant de Semilly. Under the saddle of Eric Levallois, Diamant contributed many times to the succces of the French team, for instance gold during the 2002 World Championship in Jerez de la Frontera and silver during the European Championship in Donaueschingen. Alongside these splendid team results he won the French showjumping championhip in 2002 and several international Grand Prix. In the most recent WBFSH ranking for the best suppliers of showjumping horses Diamant de Semilly is ranked fifth. Several descendants of Diamant are following in the hoofprints of their illustrious sire, such as Kalaska de Semilly (H.H. Latifa al Maktoum), Piman de la Devinière (Michel Hécart), Quickly de Kreisker (Abdelkebir Quaddar), Polinkska des Isles (François Mathy junior) and Erenice Horta (Edwina Tops-Alexander).

Le Diamant Horta inherited performance blood also via his dam line. His full sister, Erenice Horta (°2004), won in 2011 the Belgian championship for seven-year-old showjumpers.  For several years now Erenice Horta and Edwina Tops-Alexander have been collecting international ribbons in five-star tournaments. In 2013 they ended for instance second in Hong Kong and Verona, third in Göteborg, fourth in Doha, fifth in the Grand Prix of ’s-Hertogenbosch, sixth in Oslo, and seventh in Geneva.

In combination with Canturo, Le Diamant Horta’s grandmother, Herenice de Baugy, gave birth to the approved stallion Isidoor van de Helle. Via his dam line, Le Diamant Horta belongs to French breeding family number seven (foundation dam Nadine, born in 1935). This family is also responsible for Quidam de Revel, Uriel, Sheyenne de Baugy and Sioux de Baugy.
