Troebadour S

Troebadour is large, powerful dark bay Stallion out of the talented Capitol I son Indoctro, which under Ulrich Kirchhoff is building up a great reputation in the international showjumping sport.  In breeding this stallion is developed into one of the most influential progenitors in the Netherlands, with more than ten licensed sons, such as Oramé, Sheraton and Montreal.

In light of this, Troebadour has an enourmously high expectation value as a sire,  as well as considering his dam Larissa (Hattrick) is a sister of the world-famous stallion Heartbreaker (Nimmerdor).

Larissa and Heartbreaker were both bred out of the silvano daughter Bacarole from NL-mare line 025. Heartbreaker jumped very successfully at international level under Peter Geerink. The combination won the title of 'Best Stallion' at the Zwolle Stallion Show and claimed a fourth place in the prestigious Aachen Grand Prix. Heartbreaker's first products are already successfully active at international level, examples being Radieux (Grant Wilson), Quasimodo van de Molendreef (David Jobertie), Lingotto (Dion van Groesen) and Quartz Music (Gilles Bertran de Ballanda). The family of Troebadour's dam also produced the international showjumping horses Wendela (Purioso), Heros (Jasper) and Ami d'Or (Almox Prints).

This magnificent tall Stallion is currently standing at Stud in Germany and had a fantastic season in 2008 competing with Adolfo Pacheco. He has matured significantly and is confidently jumping 1.40m tracks across Europe. He will continue to stand in Europe for much of the 2009 season.
