About - After highly successful years in the USA, Balous Diamond is now finally available to breeders 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.

He started his career with a record score of 9.54 at his 30-day test in Munich-Riem/GER. This was followed by serial victories in competitions for young show jumpers, including qualification for the Bundeschampionat. As a seven-year-old, he placed in the international youngster tour under Lutz Gripshöver/GER and achieved placings up to 1.45 metre jumping competitions with Philipp Winkelhaus/GER. 14 of his sons have been licensed, including the Westphalian show jumping champion stallion Bellini Royal, who is in stud with us and successful in show jumping competitions up to 1.55 metres, Blockbuster/Marco Kutscher, who was successful in 1.60 metre show jumping competitions, and the ZfdP champion stallion and internationally placed Balounito.
