Approved: Hanoverian MMB
Breed: Hanoverian Breeder: Marefield Meadows Sire: Balou du Rouet (Baloubet du Rouet/Continue/Domino) Dam: EM Andromache (Arrian/Lortzing/Wenzel I) DOB: April 22, 2009 Height: 16hh Colour: Black DNA: FFS carrier, Red factor Ee, Agouti aa Barn Name: Belle It was love at first sight for me in regards to this mare; a good friend found her for me and kudos to hers for knowing exactly what I love in a horse. Belle is a sensitive but sensible mare, with a very willing nature. Once she settled at our farm her inner comedian became apparent and she makes me laugh on a regular basis. She is a alpha mare with loads of presence. Despite her athleticism and boundless energy, she also is the type of horse that be be very relaxed and still while she enjoys being in the moment with her person. This very beautiful mare has three quality elastic gaits, and correct conformation. Modern in type, she gives us a lot of options for breeding for both hunters and jumpers, and, when crossed with the right stallions, even dressage. Eventers should be especially interested in this mare's offspring.
After two foals it has become apparent to us that this mare is a gem. Both her 2020 colt by Glorioso Noir, and her 2021 filly by Coumario are top shelf youngsters: both showing the versatility in potential that we hoped this mare would produce with the added bonus of phenomenal temperaments and beauty. Her 2021 filly, Cordelia, was awarded the Gold Medal Jumper Foal distinction at her inspection, with the judges (two dressage riders) commenting on her exceptional gaits. 2022 expecting foal by: Lissaro Van De Helle (Lissabon/Matcho AA)
This foal will be a serious triple threat! Lissaro is a well known dual purpose stallion; he was bred for jumping and showed much talent for it, however went on to have great success in the dressage ring. He competed FEI with his junior rider for many years, and as a young horse he won the Bundeschampion three times, and was a Silver Medalist at the World Championships. In 2015 he topped the German FN dressage sire index with 173 points! We can say with confidence that this foal should have great potential for both dressage and jumping, with a wonderful temperament.

Heritage
Balou Du Rouet is a favorite at all his appearances. His gaits are equipped with maximum elasticity and completing an excellent Stallion Performance Test, he was awarded top marks for jumping, 9.5 and 10.0 by the ‘foreign judges’. Balou du Rouet is not only by far the most successful son of his famous sire, the Olympic champion and three-time World Cup winner Baloubet du Rouet, but also appears over and over again among the top 20 of the world’s best jumper sires according to the WBFSH ranking. He is also made the list of top 20 best eventing sires in the world several times.
On the dam’s side, through Rantzau, he is directly related to the founder of the bloodline “Cor de la Bryere” from Holstein. The likeness can be seen in Balou du Rouet’s jumping style and ability. His stunning dam, Georgia is by the increasingly popular Contender son, Continue.
Balou du Rouet stormed into the ´elite club of the lifetime earning millionaires`. At only 15 years, he has achieved what no other stallion has achieved in terms of the Euro! So far 150 of Balou´s progeny are successful at advanced level/S level: the lifetime earnings of his descendants have already reached 1.294.478 Euros. 41 of his sons are licensed! Balou´s progeny continue to enrich the finals of the 5 and 6 year old show jumpers at the Bundeschampionship with recognisable frequency. Just as he did so himself: Balou du Rouet won 19 Springpferdeprüfungen, he won the finals of the Bundeschampionship, achieving the highest mark of 9,2 and since then he has been successful in advanced level/S level many times.
Arrian was an Elite Hanoverian Stallion born in 1992. He is by Al Capone who is a highly regarded Celle stallion and member of the Celle Stallion Quadrille. HIs sire, Argentan was known for producing dressage and show jumping. Arrian received his first public notice in Der Hannoveraner which stated that he "captivated his audience with his outstanding trot" at his 1994 Koerung in Verden, Germany. The following year, he was Young Horse Champion and winner of the Hanoverian IBC at Port Jervis, and in 1997 he was Grand Champion at NEDA where he received an overall score of 92% from judges Hilda Gurney and Marianne Ludwig. In 1996, the inspectors commented: "It is hard to imagine a better first foal crop for any young stallion." Subsequent foal crops have also included many top foals of inspection sites and breed show success. Arrian's offspring also proved themselves under saddle, particularly his daughters who, by their MPT results and inspections scores, have put Arrian among the AHS's leading stallions for producing Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates. In 2006, EMC Avonda was the Champion Hanoverian and High Score Mare at the Rainbow Equus Meadows inspection in California, and ranked in the top five of that year's results. There are a multitude of beautiful daughters that have been awarded with the Elite title.
Belle boasts an unbroken pure Hanoverian damline that goes back over 200 years!
