Balouco – Catty, Careful, and Always Game

2016 | 16.1hh | Oldenburg Gelding | Balou du Rouet x Quattro B

​

Balouco is the kind of jumper who makes a statement the moment he walks in the ring. By Balou du Rouet and out of a Quattro B mare, he’s bred to perform—and he knows it. He’s sharp, athletic, and brave to the fences, with a careful, catty jump that makes him a blast to ride. Experience up to 1.35m with the scope for more, he’s a serious contender for someone looking to climb the levels with quality.

He’s sensitive and forward-thinking, making him best suited to a confident junior or amateur in a professional program. In the ring, he’s focused and reliable—he always jumps. In the warm-up, however, he prefers a bit of personal space. Heavy traffic isn’t his favorite, but with consistent training and thoughtful riding, it’s fully manageable. (Happy to chat about what’s worked for him.)

Balouco is competitive, cool, and ready for someone who wants to win with a horse that’s as talented as he is fun. If you like a careful jumper with bravery and a ton of heart, he might be your guy.
