Baloubino B (Holst. line 776) was a promising young stallion who attracted attention early in his show jumping career. His talent, rideability, and willingness to perform distinguished him, and he was successfully presented in classes up to 1.40 m under his rider Sandor Szasz. In 2005, he passed his 70-day test as the second best, with an overall score of 8.6. Sadly, Baloubino B passed away in 2008 at the age of 7. Of his approximately 50 offspring to date, more than 20% are already competing successfully in advanced and intermediate classes. Notable offspring include Samira 368, who has won the 1.60 m class, and Bandolino 6, who has won the 1.55 m class. His full brother, Baloubet by Etl, born in 2006, who, with his rider Markus Saurugg, not only achieved countless national successes, including the national championship title, but also held his own on the international stage up to 1.60m, gives an idea of the career that lay ahead for Baloubino B. Although Baloubino B himself only enjoyed a brief period in the spotlight, he left a lasting impact through his offspring, whose potential could not be fully realized due to his early death..
His sire Baloubet du Rouet needs no introduction. An individual gold medalist at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and a three-time World Cup winner, Baloubet Du Rouet was undoubtedly one of the most successful stallions of his generation. Ridden by Nelson Pessoa, he won the French National Championships for seven-year-olds after being a finalist as a six-year-old. Following his three consecutive World Cup victories (1998–2000), he was consistently ranked in the top three for the next three years (2001–2003). Baloubet Du Rouet has been in the top ten of the WBFSH sire rankings every year since 2010 and topped the rankings in 2012 and 2013. Grandsire Galoubet A jumped at the highest level, winning team gold at the 1982 World Championships, and is one of the most dominant show jumping sires in the world.
Her dam, Aratinga, is our first home-bred mare and is by Koerby, a daughter of Kolibri and the founder of our breeding program. Career and family were our top priorities at the time, so she was not encouraged to compete. As a reliable riding horse for our daughter and an excellent lead mare and dam, she is an excellent example of how the value of a broodmare lies beyond her athletic career. Her offspring are consistently characterized by their high level of performance, combined with strong nerves and a balanced temperament. We look forward to the future with excitement and are looking forward to seeing her offspring achieve success. For us, Aratinga remains a symbol of the beginning of a promising breeding line.
The second dam Koerby (PrSt*/LP) was successful up to 1.40 m herself and produced Gammon, an eventing horse who was also successful up to CCI3S.
