Modern up and coming producer heading for the
top
A picture perfect career: after winning one young
horse class after another and gaining marks up to
10.0 in his 30-day test, Balou du Rouet
successfully “landed” at the 1.50m level.
Already in 2005 he caught everyone’s attention
by scoring the highest mark of 9.2 at the national
championships, making him one of Germany’s top 4
licensed stallions. His enormous jumping talent,
combined with great elastic gaits and a
fascinating charisma make Balou du Rouet an
exciting choice for the breeders of sports horses.
Once again, Balou du Rouet emphasises his dominant
quality as a producer in type, elegance and
movement, with numerous foals at many different
auctions. He continuously produces finalists for
the German foal championships. Offspring of Balou

most expensive horse of the 2007 AOS auction. His
number of approved sons has amounted to over ten

his pedigree. His grand sire Galoubet is a son of

descendents from the dam line. Balue du Rouet –
the future has begun with impressive achievements
as a producer!

Ulft
was an extraordinary KWPN “Keur” sire. Other than Olympic Ferro, he produced
such international stars as Caesar, Disney, and Utopia to name a few. Ulft
has produced 7 approved stallions including Boston, Dublin, Dukaat, Fair Play
and again Olympic Ferro. He also has numerous Keur and Star daughters. The
KWPN authorities have always had the greatest confidence in this lineage. Ulft
has a high breeding reliability in jumping (91%) and a high dressage reliability
as well. Ulft's offspring are recognized for their great temperament,
athleticism, and their impressing gaits, especially the trot.
Ulft
was sired by the legendary chestnut
Selle Francais stallion Le Mexico.
Born in Normandy, France, Le Mexico was the grandson of the legendary Irish
Thoroughbred foundation sire Furioso. Le Mexico’s sire – Mexico
was the full brother of the famous Furioso ll. Le Mexico, who also
possessed phenomenal jumping ability was Champion in his performance test in HLP
Sleen in 1974 with a total of 174.86 points. As a resident of Holland, Le
Mexico sired 10 approved sons including Silvano, Zonneglans, Beau Le Mexico, C
Diamond, Le Mexico II, Lester, Astronaut, Expert, Zelhem and of course Ulft.
He also had 23 offspring in International Show Jumping including Olympic
Briljant, Olympic Pride, Olympic Rad Boy, Comex, and Notorius. Le Mexico
died in 1987, only a few months after his upgrading to the rare “Keur”
predicate with the Dutch registry. The year he died, Le Mexico had a phenomenal
jumping index of 146, and in the ranking of dressage sires he was 21st among
over 200 stallions. Even eight years after his death his jumping index was
still above average with a reliability of 96%.
Ulft was out of the Keur Preferent Dutch mare Pia, who was sired by the
legendary stallion Pericles (TB) - the sire of the renowned pinto KWPN stallion
Samber.

Keur Stallion Ulft Passed Away
January 24, 2005
The
KWPN Keur stallion Ulft has passed away at age 26.
The bay stallion by Le Mexico out of Pia (Pericles
xx x Waldo) died at Agnes Dalemans' farm in The
Netherlands.
Bred by Mr. Huirne from Groenlo, Ulft produced
numerous licensed offspring, such as Fairplay,
Dublin, Boston, Conveyer, Dukaat and of course
Ferro, but also fathered several international
dressage horses including Argentile Gullit and
1998 European junior rider champion Habibi.
Ulft was a very successful show horse himself.
Dutch Grand Prix rider Coby van Baalen presented
him in the show ring. "He was the first
licensed stallion I got to ride," Van Baalen
said. "Ulft was then owned by Mr van Tuyl
from Gameren and he put him in training with me to
be shown. At that time, there were still special
classes for stallions called "bestgaand
rijpaard" (best performing riding horse). It
was always a battle between Ulft and
Uniform."
Ulft lived with Agnes Dalemans the final 11
years of his life. Last year he was officially
retired and enjoyed a very happy life. "The
final years, Ulft was allowed to do whatever he
wanted. If he wanted to go outside to enjoy the
sun, he could go outside. If it was too cold, he
could stay in," Dalemans said.
