Balou du Rouet

Description

For the fifth time in a row, Balou du Rouet is one of the world’s best show jumping and eventing sires (according to the WBFSH ranking) with 15th and 8th place respectively – well documented by the team silver winner in the Olympic jumping course in Tokyo/JPN, Baloutinue/Laura Kraut /USA, the individual bronze winner of the eventing EM in Avenches/SUI, Corouet/Sarah Bullimore/GBR, and the team gold and individual bronze winner of the young rider eventing EM in Vilamoura/POR, Balento CS/Emilie Conter /BEL.

Our Baloutaire PS/Philip Rüping, Balzaci/Felix Haßmann, Baccord/Gerrit Nieberg and Balous Bellini/Lutz Gripshöver are at the top of the more than 70 licensed Balou du Rouet sons. Balou du Rouet is on the dam’s side of our OS champion stallion and main premium winner Conthalou. From a breeding point of view, the premium stallion of the Holstein licensing, Baloubetto, auctioned for 90,000 euros, the OS reserve champion mare Honey Star and the reserve champion colt and champion foal of the Goldfever Ring at the German Foal Championships should also be mentioned.

Balou du Rouet started his own career with a 9.2 rated 30-day test in Vechta. After a series of victories in young horse jumping ability classes, he qualified for the Bundeschampionat with a score of 9.2, placed eighth in the final for six-year-olds and won classes up to 1.50 meters.

The three licensed stallions Balissimo (by Baloubet du Rouet), the Bundeschampion Cornet’s Balou (by Cornet Obolensky), who was in the winning Nations Cup team in Aachen in 2021 under his sport name Balou du Reventon/Brian Moggre/USA, also come from the mother Georgia and took second place in the Grand Prix and won the Grand Prix of Sopot/POL and Wellington/USA, and Chatinue (by Chacco-Blue)/Darragh Kenny/IRL. Georgia’s daughters and granddaughters produced numerous international show jumpers and the licensed stallions Chageorge (by Chacco-Blue) and Vivagran (by Vivant).

The Oldenburg dam’s sire Continue is also on the dam’s side of the World Championships and European Championships participant Antello Z/Cameron Hanley/IRL, Baloufina/Cian O’Connor/IRL and Camilla/Denis Lynch/IRL.

The granddam Georgette II became the mother of the licensed Sandrissimo (by Sandro) who was placed in 1.40 meter show jumping tests.

The sires Domino, Gepard and Granit that followed in the subsequent generations at Balou du Rouet have left a lasting mark on the mare base in Paul Schockemöhle’s breeding.

Filmkunde’s Westphalian mare line also includes the licensed Daddy Cool, Le Sandro, Lord Sandro, Conthargos/Jacek Zagor/POL, Lacento and Sir Calido.
