A freak of a horse, from the Arko III Line – Nick Skelton

This striking gelding by Balou du Reventon, out of a dam line featuring Baloubet du Rouet, Vivaldi du Seigneur, and Argentinus, impressed in every way during his presentation. Although not the tallest, he has an exceptionally large, flowing canter, natural suppleness, and a strong forward mindset that give him the appearance and athleticism of a true modern sport horse. Coming from the proven performance line of Arko III, the former top mount of Nick Skelton, his pedigree is filled with international success. This family has produced multiple 1.60m horses and is renowned for passing on scope, mentality, and durability.

When jumping, he immediately showed what he is made of: he switches on, jumps with excellent awareness, displays power, remains careful, and uses his body intelligently and naturally. As the jumps rise, he reveals even more scope and demonstrates that he can easily adjust and think like a horse destined for higher sport.

For anyone looking to invest in true quality and a young gelding with both talent and a proven pedigree, this Balou du Reventon offspring presents a rare opportunity. He offers presence, scope, and the right mindset to develop into a top-level sport horse.
