About Balous Diamond
Show Jumping Star with highly successful offspring
After highly successful years in the USA, Balous Diamond is now finally available to our breeders here again. Under Gavin Moylan/CAN, this super athlete achieved international show jumping successes up to 1.50 metres. He was among the best in the Grand Prix and main jumping competitions in Wellington, Tryon, Traverse City and Rockwood. Balous Diamond started his career with his licensing in Münster-Handorf/GER in 2012. He then completed his 30-day test there, collected his first victories in tests for young show jumpers and qualified for the Bundeschampionat. Under his breeder Lutz Gripshöver/GER, he achieved his first advanced (S) level successes before Balous Diamond moved to the USA.
His first offspring made a brilliant impression. Ballerina NRW is successful internationally in 1.50 metre jumping competitions with Marie Ligges/GER. Baristo/Giacomo Fleischer/GER, Bernada/Dennis Veiser/GER, Bourani/Faye Potter/GBR as well as Baloundra and Binyama/both with Christian Eiling/GER compete internationally. Jimmy took part in the World Championships for Young Show Jumpers in Lanaken/BEL with Siri Swärd/SWE.
