Bebop Balou is a beautiful dark chestnut Hanoverian by the up and coming star, Balou du Rouet out of elite mare Favre by Walldorf. In the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program. NAMED TOP FOAL at his inspection in July where he was noted for his movement and bloodlines that spell JUMP. Stallion prospect. He is very correct and with bloodlines like his he is destined for the jumpers but his movement is good enough for the dressage ring as well. Bebop is in the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program. His full sister was deemed "the perfect package" by Dr Ludwig Christmann, Breeding Director of the Hanover Verband. Very sweet with that look at me attitude. Easy to handle and learns quickly. This guy will get you noticed! Should mature around 16.2h-17h.
His sire, Balou du Rouet not only is a successful competition horse at 1.50 m level but is now busy building a reputation as an outstanding breeding stallion. Although his oldest offspring were only six in 2009, they have already chalked up more than EUR 56,000 in competition winnings. Matched only by Cornet Obolenski, Balou du Rouet was the stallion with the most offspring competing at the Bundeschampionat in 2008 and, in 2009, three of the Bundeschampionat for Six Year-Old Show Jumping Horses competitors were Balou du Rouet progeny. Another of his offspring, Bacara, qualified for the World Championship in Lanaken and was subsequently sold at auction for EUR 140,000. Two of Balou du Rouet's sons were approved at the Southern German licensing, another top stallion sold at auction in Hanover for EUR 85,000 and another approved son and he now counts over 30 approved stallions among his offspring. Balous Bellini was champion stallion at the Munich 30-day test in 2009 with a score of 9.27 and a final jumping score of 9.54, and Bobby Brown was runner-up at his performance test in Adelsheidsdorf with an index of 143.23 points. There's no ignoring the popularity of Balou du Rouet's progeny. Baranus sold at auction for EUR 120,000 after winning a class at the World Championship in Zangersheide and, in 2007, Be Bravo sold for the record price of EUR 350,000 at the AOS Auction. His FN breeding index score of 141 puts him among the leading breeding stallions, despite his young age.

Balou du Rouet's sire is three-times World Cup winner and individual Olympic gold medal winner in 2004, Baloubet du Rouet. This Selle Francais stallion is one of the most successful show jumping stallions of all time and he consistently passes on his performance genes to his offspring. Baloubet du Rouet's sire, Galoubet, was competing at international level at the age of seven and won team gold at the World Championship in 1982. Balou du Rouet's maternal grandsire, Continue, collected lifetime earnings of over EUR 310,000 and his dam line has produced several approved stallions.

Bebop's dam has produced many winners in the ring including GAIG Regional champions. Many of her offspring recieve 8's and 9's on gaits in the dressage arena.
