Treve (horse)
horse
Treve (French: Trêve, foaled 7 April 2010) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse who was the 2013 European Horse of the Year after being unbeaten in four races as a three-year-old. These included the Prix de Diane, Prix Vermeille and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
As a two-year-old she won her only race, while aged four she was beaten in her first three races before winning the Arc for a second time. In her final campaign aged five, the mare recorded further top-class successes.
Background
Bred by Haras du Quesnay and foaled on 7 April 2010, Treve is a dark-coated bay filly with a small white star. She was sired by Motivator, who won The Derby in 2005. He is now a stallion at Haras du Quesnay and has also sired Prix de l'Opéra winner Ridasiyna. Treve's dam, Trevise, is a daughter of Anabaa. Treve is trained by Criquette Head-Maarek. Treve was planned to be sold in an auction but, as no one bid, she was re-purchased by her breeder for 22,000 Euro.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Treve (horse)” as horse. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as horse. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15052027. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2013 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
