Sires - Balou du
Rouet
 The crowds favourite at all his
appearances! Modern up and coming producer heading for the top!
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'. His impressive rideability is of great
importance for his future development in his sporting and breeding career.
A picture perfect career: after winning one young horse class after another and gaining
marks up to 10.0 in his 30-day test, Balou du Rouet successfully “landed” at the
1.50m level. Already in 2005 he caught everyone’s attention by scoring the highest
mark of 9.2 at the national championships, making him one of Germany’s top 4 licensed
stallions. His enormous jumping talent, combined with great elastic gaits and a
fascinating charisma make Balou du Rouet an exciting choice for the breeders of sports
horses. Once again, Balou du Rouet emphasises his dominant quality as a producer in type,
elegance and movement, with numerous foals at many different auctions. He continuously
produces finalists for the German foal championships. Offspring of Balou du Rouet have
been approved at almost every stallion licensing – most notably the licensed “BE
BRAVO”, who sold for € 350.000 as the most expensive horse of the 2007 AOS
auction. His number of approved sons has amounted to over ten stallions. As a descendant
of Baloubet du Rouet - gold medallist at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and an
incredible three-times successive World Cup Champion – he has one of the most
successful jumping stallions on the
international scene in his pedigree. His grand sire Galoubet is a son of the great
stallion Almé and was already an international success at the young age of seven. He won
team gold in 1982 at the World Championships. On the dam’s side, Balou du Rouet is
directly related to the founder of the bloodline, Cor de la Bryere, from Holstein through
Rantzau xx. The offspring of the dam’s sire, Continue, achieved lifetime earnings of
over € 230.000. Numerous licensed stallions are descendents from the dam line. Balue
du Rouet – the future has begun with impressive achievements as a producer!
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.
