About Chaman

Chaman is a (died 2019) Bay Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1999, by Baloubet du Rouet out of a I Love You dam.

Chaman was a Holsteiner showjumping stallion born in 1999 in Germany, known for his considerable success in both sport and breeding. His sire, Baloubet du Rouet, was an Olympic gold medallist and three-time World Cup final winner, while his dam, Jadied, was sired by 1983 World Cup Final winner I Love You, and was a granddaughter of Poline, a descendant of the Thoroughbred stallion Lucky Boy XX. Chaman initially gained recognition with riders like Luciana Diniz and Sören von Rönne before competing under Olympic champion Ludger Beerbaum from 2010. Under Beerbaum, he achieved remarkable victories at the Grands Prix of Lyon, Lausanne, and Ebreichsdorf. In 2012, Chaman was among the top earners in showjumping, with wins in Stuttgart, Aachen, and Wiesbaden highlighting his career. Upon retiring at 18, Chaman became a successful breeding stallion approved by studbooks such as KWPN, Hanoverian, Holsteiner, and Oldenburg, with offspring excelling in high-level classes.

Chaman's influence continued beyond his competitive career through his offspring, who have shown promising performances in showjumping circuits. Although detailed records of all his progeny competing at top levels are not exhaustive, several have excelled in competitions, demonstrating the inherited prowess from their sire. His first offspring made their debut in 2014, with numerous progeny competing in 1.40m classes and higher, benefiting from his lineage's renowned athleticism and agility.

Chaman died in 2019 at Riesenbeck, Germany (Natural causes). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
