About Bisquet Balou C

Bisquet Balou C, born in 2005, is a stallion celebrated for his lineage and achievements in showjumping. He is registered under the Rheinland, BWP, and Selle Français studbooks and is sired by Balou du Rouet with Philippa van de Mispelaere as his dam. His breeding includes notable sires like Balou du Rouet and Polydor, combining influential bloodlines in horse sport. Bred by Hermann Kretz in Germany, Bisquet Balou C inherits a legacy of top-performing ancestors, highlighting his potential as both competitor and sire. In his showjumping career, he was prominent internationally, finishing 7th at the CSI5* Grand Prix in Brussels and placing 2nd in the CSI3* Grand Prix at Knokke. A clear round earned him 5th place at the Léon Melchior CSI5* Open Sires of the World Zangersheide, showcasing his top-level skill. Ridden by Nicola Philippaerts before moving entirely into breeding, he is noted for not fully realising his competitive potential according to Ludo Philippaerts, yet remains respected in breeding circles, joining Groupe France Élevage for stud.
