Gaultier VDL

Gaultier has an outstanding pedigree starting with sire Baloubet du Rouet, three time winner of the World Cup Final and Olympic champion in 2004. As a sire Baloubet du Rouet produced an amazing number of successful Grand Prix show jumpers, such as Bubalu VDL, Chaman and Palloubet d’Halong. Grandsire Quidam de Revel jumped at the highest level and is sire to an immense number of top jumpers, like VDL Groep Verdi TN and Dollar de la Pierre. Then we find the Holstein great Landgraf I in the pedigree of Gaultier. Landgraf anchors a great number of approved stallions and show jumpers like Libero H, Taggi, Lacros and Lovely Boy.

Also the damline of Gaultier is very interesting. His full sister is the 1.50m show jumper Banana d’Ive and dam Quilana d’Ive Z who has already brought the 1.40m jumper Centinaio d’Ive. Granddam Birke III is the dam of the 1.40m jumper True Star d’Ive and the granddam to Grand Prix jumper Winny the Blue d’Ive and the BWP approved stallion For Passion d’Ive. From this same line come the Grand Prix show jumpers Copaco Cher, Legolas and Quel Homme de Hus.

Gaultier is a beautiful, well-developed stallion with a lot of blood. He is careful and shows a lot of scope. He is nice to ride and seems to be a great show jumper for the future. Gaultier performed a good KWPN Stallion Test with a total score of 75.5 points. He received an 8 for technique and scope.

Expected breeding value: 151.

Gaultier: a beautiful son of Baloubet du Rouet out of a strong damline.
