A modern show jumper with a stunning technique and an international pedigree

This athletic OS premium stallion has a modern conformation and a fascinating jumping technique. He was the best stallion in his 35 day test in Denmark with an impressive array of nine plus scores. In his first competition season, he was highly placed at several shows and qualified with ease for the Danish National Championship with a score of 8.9. "Exceptionally careful," confirmed the OS licensing commission. "His jumping technique, bascule and flowing movements were also excellent." The young stallion's uphill canter is accompanied by a beautifully fluid movement through the back. This, plus his modern conformation, lead to very high expectations of him.
Sire Toulon and grandsire Heartbreaker were both successful international show jumpers. Even as a young horse, Toulon was highly placed in many championships, winner of the Global Champions Tour with Hubert Bourdy and highly placed in Grand Prix classes at Spruce Meadows, Arezzo, Cannes, Valkenswaard and Brussels. Maternal grandsire Padarco enjoyed a successful international career with Otto Becker and came ninth in the World Cup final. His sire, Darco, is the number one stallion on the WBFSH's list of top show jumping sires and he competed at the Olympic Games in Barcelona and the World Championship in Stockholm.
Tolouse's dam line has produced successful international show jumping horses such as Goldika/Meyer zu Bexten and Derrick/von Rönne; and his great-granddam Goldalm produced Bundeschampionat finalist Balougold. Toulouse has a top international pedigree that guarantees successful offspring!
