Hasenacher Balou Couleur is an impressive Cloured Horse who was once licensed as a young stallion and sired around 50 promising offspring. However, because his focus was on a career in sport and not breeding, the stallion was gelded and became a gelding. Balou Couleur’s sire, Balou du Rouet, is himself a son of the legendary Baloubet du Rouet and a highly successful sire at Paul Schockemöhle’s breeding station in Mühlen, which regularly produces show jumpers that are successful far beyond the borders of Germany. Hasenacher Balou Couleur’s dam Glenara Mudslide has achieved victories and placings up to 1.45 m level in Australia and the dam’s sire Copabella Visage was even placed in World Cup show jumping competitions and Grand Prix competitions Down Under. However, Balou Couleur does not only have an impressive pedigree. In Andrew Hoy’s stables, he also enjoyed a versatile basic training, which now allows him to focus on a successful career in the show jumping arena with Michael Jung in the saddle.
