Sires - Balou du
Rouet
 The crowds favourite at all his
appearances!
His gaits are equipped with maximum elasticity and
completing an excellent Stallion Performance Test, he was awarded top marks for jumping,
9.5 and 10.0 by the ‘foreign judges'. He promptly won his first jumping
competition with ease. His impressive rideability is of great importance for his
future development in his sporting and breeding career.
Sire Baloubet du Rouet, at the moment one of the most successful jumping stallions
on the international stage has an exceptional pedigree. Three-time World Champion
jumping horse, and repeat Olympian, Baloubet du Rouet, under Rodrigo Pessoa, has thrilled
audiences and pushed the boundaries of show jumping worldwide. In 1999 he won the
World Cup in Gothenburg for the second year running, an incredible achievement seen by
only three horses since the start of the competition. Baloubet du Rouet's dam, Mesange de
Rouet, had eight wins from 13 outings at four years of age, and five wins from 12 outings
at five. She is also mother of Unadore de Rouet. Her sire, Starter, is a noted sire of
broodmares. Grand dam, Badine, also produced Globule, dam of Nemo de la Fosse and Urcos du
Rouet. In addition to his World Cup win, Baloubet du Rouet, was a finalist to the
championship of the world as a six year old and champion of France as a seven year old.
Baloubet du Rouet's first offspring inherit his bold athleticism and are very promising,
already placing him well on breeding indices. Gonzague du Rouet and Gershwin du REIS, are
both winners in CSO. Gatsby Vandrin sold for a record price as a five year old for 850.000
FB. Waldman sold as a foal for 700.000 FB at the sale of Maline, and Bahlmannz sold as a
foal for 475.000 FB at the sale of Zangersheide. This stallion stands for capacity,
honesty and precision in jumping. Like his world-famous rider, he has set a new standard
for modern show jumping. Grandsire Galoubet is son of the great stallion Almé. On the
dam's side, through Rantzau, he is directly related to the founder of the bloodline Cor de
la Bryere from Holstein, the likeness can be seen in Balou du Rouet's jumping style and
ability. His stunning dam, Georgia is by the increasingly popular Contender son, Continue.
Balou du Rouet has strongly inherited his father's genes and emphasises his dominant
quality as a producer in type, elegance and movement with numerous foals, who at various
auctions have all been sold for above-average prices.
