ELITE PEDIGREE

Cocktail de Talma’s sire is the legendary Baloubet du Rouet. Rarely has there been a stallion that was so dominant, not only in sport, but also in breeding. In his long and lustrous career, he won individual Olympic Gold in Athens in 2004, three-time World Cup winners, Rolex Top Ten in Geneva winners in 2003 and 2005, among countless other victories before retiring from sport at 17 years. Baloubet du Rouet was ranked No. 1 horse in the world for several years for his sporting performance, while a decade after retiring from sport, he again became world No. 1, this time as a jumping sire based on the phenomenal success his off-spring.

Cocktail de Talma’s dam, Reggae de Talma, is ranked among the best broodmares in the world. Renowned for producing top-tier international show jumpers, she already has eight off-spring jumping above 1.50m, including Baloubet de Talma ridden by Pénélope Leprevost at 5* World Cups and Nations Cups, Une de L’Othain ridden by Harry Smolders with a 5* GCL Grand Prix win in Hamburg, and Cocaine de Talma ridden by Jessica Springsteen.

Reggae de Talma is by the infamous stallion, Cento, who won most of the world’s major jumping contests, such as the World Cup Final at Leipzig in 2002, as well as the ‘big two’ Grand Prix – Aachen and Calgary. He won team gold at the Sydney Games, and bronze at Athens, as well as team European Champion 2003. Retired at the age of 17, he had accumulated winnings of over one million euros, he is one of the most successful Holsteiner jumping horses of all time.

Reggae de Talma’s dam’s sire, is the celebrated stallion, Quidam de Revel, who won team bronze at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and was fourth individually. In the same year, Quidam de Revel won the Nations Cup of Rome and Dinard, as well as the Grand Prix of Rome. The following year, he won the Nations Cup of Hickstead, second in Rotterdam and fifth in the World Cup Finals in Gothenburg. Quidam de Revel was also a renounced sire whose legacy continues through the many offspring that jump at the top of the sport.

Reggae de Talma’s dam was the Selle Francais mare, New Eve Du Moulin, who competed herself successfully at 2* level, with notable results including 3rd in the 2* Grand Prix of Lyon. She was the dam of 3 horses who competed internationally at 1.45m.

Reggae de Talma’s grand-dam was Utopie II, who was the dam of the very successful mare, Florie du Moulin, who won Team Gold at 2001 Young Riders European Championships, winner of Lummen 5* Nations Cup, 3rd at Helsinki in the 5*GP and 5th in the World Cup, and also the dam of Gary du Moulin and Hermes du Moulin II, who both competed at 1.45m.

The elite consistency of the dam line is incredible with the next two generations of dams, both also producing offspring that competed at 1.50m.

BREEDING POTENTIAL
