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 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.
