Three years ago, few people outside of Normandy, France had ever heard of Nina Mallevaey. Dynastie de Beaufour had never earned a place on a 5* podium. But in the span of a Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce courtship, all that was about to change.
Thanks to some fortunate career moves—including becoming a rider for the Rein family in 2022—the self-made Mallevaey, 26, has rocketed up the rankings from 320 to No. 7 in the world in just two years. She did so alongside the USA’s Laura Kraut, becoming the first two women to crack the top 10 in a decade.
In recent seasons, Mallevaey not only earned her first, 5* 1.60m win in the Rolex Grand Prix of Brussels with Dynastie de Beaufour, but emerged as a stalwart on French Senior Nations Cup teams. Among them: the Longines League of Nations Ocala this month, where she was the only member of the French squad to post a double-clear, once again aboard Dynastie de Beaufour.
And with that performance, Mallevaey and the 13-year-old Selle Français mare have another feather to add to their cap, and this one is a biggie: With their two, clear rounds in Ocala, the pair have officially jumped 14, consecutive, 5* 1.60m clears in a row.
That record ties them with far more experienced partnerships: two-time individual Olympic silver and team gold medal-winning horse H&M All In, who achieved his record under Peder Fredricson as a 10-year-old in Rome in 2016. According to Jumpr Stats, the Swedish warmblood gelding maintained a 69% career clear rate in 74 rounds at 1.60m+, finishing on the podium 50% of the time in 28 jump-off rounds.
But even H&M All In’s record pales in comparison to the current G.O.A.T. of top sport clears, Casall ASK.
During his heyday more than a decade ago under Sweden’s Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, the bay Holsteiner stallion notched 19 podium finishes and nine wins at 1.60m+. That record ties him with a fleet of history’s most lauded show jumpers including Explosion W, Caracole de la Roque, Greya, and Hello Sanctos—all of whom have nine wins a piece (only Gazelle has more with 13).
Perhaps Casall ASK’s most famous accomplishment, however, is his streak of 17 consecutive clears, achieved on not one but two occasions as a 15-year-old in Caen in 2014, and two years later at the impressive age of 17 in Rome in 2016. In terms of performance numbers, the stallion maintained a surreal 80% clear rate in 76 rounds at 1.60m+, making the podium in 38 career jump-offs at that height 55% of the time (Jumpr Stats).
Yet despite jumping significantly fewer rounds at the championship height so far than either Casall or All In, Mallevaey and Dynastie aren’t far behind.
In 42 rounds at 1.60m+, Mallevaey and Dynastie de Beaufour jump clear at 57%—lower than both H&M All In and Casall ASK—but they maintain that same 57% when it comes to podium finishes in 14 jump-offs at that same height, compared to All In’s 50% and Casall’s 55%.
Three more clears would put Mallevaey and Dynastie in league with Casall ASK’s all-time record, and splitting the difference with one or two more fault-free rounds would move them into the No. 2 position overall.
Can they keep the rails in the cups long enough to jump into the history books? It sure will be fun finding out.
