Taloubet Z

Taloubet Z, multiple World Cup winner! Taloubet Z added his name to the gallery of the great last year by winning the World Cup Finals in Leipzig under Christian Ahlmann. Earlier that season he had won the World Cup qualifiers in Oslo and Helsinki. In 2010 Taloubet Z had also won the GCT in Estoril and the Grand Prix of Paris. The bay, who was bred in the Netherlands, combines the blood of two celebrities in European breeding with the French super jumper Galoubet A and the Westfalian progenitor Polydor. In the seventies and eighties Galoubet A caused sensation with a series of victories in the international showjumping sport under Gilles Bertran de Ballanda. In breeding world-wide, this Almé Z son is one of the best showjumping horse begetters of his generation.

 His two most famous sons are Olympic Champion Baloubet de Rouet ridden by Rodrigo Pessoa and the tiny jumping miracle Quick Star ridden by Meredith Michaels. Polydor managed in Rheinland, a no man’s land in the breeding world, to produce a wide range of showjumping horses for the top sport. Famous names are Sonora la Silla, Two Steps, Pozitano and Paavo N. Taloubet’s dam Krista is a full sister of the international showjumping Prime Time ridden by Andreas Krieg.
