BALLERINE III

was none the less an exceptional broodmare. She features in the pedigree of the very sought after stallion VIGO CECE as 4th dam. She also produced: 

- Quolombia, dam of 1m60 performers ERNEST and ROCK DE VAINS; but also of Copacabana II, herself dam of Darragh KENNY's VOLNAY DU BOISDEVILLE, 1,60m. 

He had an incredible 4 yo season in France, with 11 clear rounds in 14 classes. He is licensed by the Selle Français studbook after the French Young Horse finals thanks to his great performance record. 

KEOPS is a very powerful horse, built like a sire with solid joints. However, he also inherited of his damline's endless energy and shows a lot of blood too. Probably better suited for lighter mares in need of strength and gaits, maybe less for the heavier ones.

2025 will be his very first breeding season
