The champion of the 2023 BRp stallion approvals. A pony stallion? Yes indeed, size doesn't matter in terms of quality. He convinced us and the BRp jury with his charisma and jumping qualities.
The sire of this Balisto Prinseveld DSC is the stallion Big Star TF. Not yet the Olympic curriculum of his illustrious namesake, but this young Big Star TF is making progress in Germany. He is a son of Balou Star (himself Balou du Rouet x Quick Star) spawned with Welsh and German riding pony blood. He himself comes from a top line with a lot of sport. Balisto's dam's line carries the best pony blood available through Calipso van de Vondelhoeve, Kanshebber and Kantjes Ronaldo. From this line come several international showjumping ponies that have competed at the highest level, such as Kamirez van Orchid's (1.30m) who is the full sister of Balisto's granddam. Furthermore, his great-grandmother is the full sister of the famous stallion Kantjes Carlando. This line goes back to the mare Weverijk's Santana, who is one of the foundation dams of the well-known breeding company Orchid's.
