Here is a link to the new Balou du Rouet video clip....WOW!!! For those concerned with Balou's temperament, wait until you see his attitude and rideability......Also, he sure seems to stamp his offspring, as in my opinion, my Bleu SCF Ster (Balou du Rouet X Silvio 1 Elite Pref), looks just like him, in conformation AND jumping style....Enjoy!

Here is the New Text and info on Balou du Rouet's career and Offspring, from Paiul Schockemohle's website below"

"A top breeding stallion with an impressive track record

Already a successful competition horse at 1.50 m level, Balou du Rouet is now busy building a reputation as an outstanding breeding stallion. Although his oldest offspring were only six in 2009, they have already chalked up more than EUR 56,000 in competition winnings. Matched only by Cornet Obolenski, Balou du Rouet was the stallion with the most offspring competing at the Bundeschampionat in 2008 and, in 2009, three of the Bundeschampionat for Six Year-Old Show Jumping Horses competitors were Balou du Rouet progeny. Another of his offspring, Bacara, qualified for the World Championship in Lanaken and was subsequently sold at auction for EUR 140,000. Two of Balou du Rouet's sons were approved at the Southern German licensing, another top stallion sold at auction in Hanover for EUR 85,000 and another approved son and he now counts over 30 approved stallions among his offspring. Balous Bellini was champion stallion at the Munich 30-day test in 2009 with a score of 9.27 and a final jumping score of 9.54, and Bobby Brown was runner-up at his performance test in Adelsheidsdorf with an index of 143.23 points. There's no ignoring the popularity of Balou du Rouet's progeny. Baranus sold at auction for EUR 120,000 after winning a class at the World Championship in Zangersheide and, in 2007, Be Bravo sold for the record price of EUR 350,000 at the AOS Auction. His FN breeding index score of 141 puts him among the leading breeding stallions, despite his young age.
Balou du Rouet's sire is three-times World Cup winner and individual Olympic gold medal winner in 2004, Baloubet du Rouet. This Selle Francais stallion is one of the most successful show jumping stallions of all time and he consistently passes on his performance genes to his offspring. Baloubet du Rouet's sire, Galoubet, was competing at international level at the age of seven and won team gold at the World Championship in 1982. Balou du Rouet's maternal grandsire, Continue, collected lifetime earnings of over EUR 310,000 and his dam line has produced several approved stallions.
Balou du Rouet produces spectacular offspring.

After seeing the jump he is passing down, he has gone to the top of my list...hopefully, next year as I already have everybody booked for this year!

I am going to breed my Faux Finish mare to him this year and hoping I am very lucky and I get a lovely buckskin or palomino offspring from the cross!

The video clip is fabulous - I love him even more after watching this footage! :)

WOW he is amazing... I am considering him also for my TB mare this year. He looks very ridable in that video.

I am in love with this Boy! The Balou du Rouet x Popeye K colt I bred is turning out just incredible.....he turns heads every where he goes...I forget he is only 2 years old in May.

My Corland mare is due early May with her Balou foal...can't wait!!!!

Karin, thank you so much for the link and current information! The statistics on what Balou is producing are very impressive, and I think as his foals start competing, we will really see what his contribution to sport is. Of course, I am very subjective :). We are very honored to offer one of the two approved Balou sons to stand in North America...it's exciting to bring such accomplished bloodlines to breeders here.

I am so glad to see Balou come into his own. I always thought he was a super good looking stallion with a lot of dual talent - just had reservations about his general temperament and rideability after watching him school several times at Schockemoehle's a few years back. Whatever demons he was dealing with then, he seems to have licked. :cool:

Yeah - you and me both!!! :D

This is my first venture into frozen breeding and its also very nice to hear that the semen quality is SO good, the vast majority of first inseminations produce a pregnancy right from the get go, so thats really nice to know as well ... :)

My mare Never Say Never already produced an outstanding filly by Balou du Rouet - a spitting image of her daddy in type. This year, Never Say Never is expecting a foal from one of Balou's sons, Dreamscape Farm's Banderas (Balou du Rouet - Grannus - Beachboy). I am really looking forward to seeing this cross!

Thanks for the update Karin!

"Karin, thank you so much for the link and current information! The statistics on what Balou is producing are very impressive"

You are all very welcome! I was thrilled to find the new video and results, and wanted to share.....

Looks like there are some very interesting and diverse Balou's coming this Spring.....I am excited about my two Balou's coming....Both full siblings to my two Keuring Jumper Champions, one out of Nova Keur (full sibling to Judgement ISF), and the other, a full sibling to Bleu SCF Ster (Balou du Rouet X Silvio 1 Elite Preferent). Can't wait!

Warmly,
Karin

Here is a picture of an outstanding filly who was used at her keuring as the ideal type for the jumper ring.

I noticed that Dreamscape Farm has a son of Balou du Rouets - called Banderas. I saw a video of him free jumping. Just WOW.

Saw Cest la Vie SCF (Balou du Rouet X Silvio 1 Elite Pref) yesterday for the first time in over 2 years (sold as a yearling)....... She is now 3 yrs old and simply stunningly beautiful......Looks just like a chestnut version of our Bleu SCF Ster, her full sister....Will get photos sent soon! Balou sure seems to stamp them.....

Good luck with link above!
Warmly,
Karin
