Balou du Reventon x Libero H x Papillon Rouge Colt, bay, KWPN, 12-05-2025, ET Out of the direct dam line of Colorado, drenched with 1.60m genes Valou W is an athletic and blood-typed colt foal with a pedigree that combines proven power, rideability, and reflexes. His sire, Balou du Reventon, enjoyed a stellar international career under Darragh Kenny and Brian Moggre, and is one of the most influential stallions of his generation. He is a direct son of Cornet Obolensky, the legendary Grand Prix performer and foundation sire known for his scope, balance, and elasticity — traits consistently inherited by his offspring. The dam, Upsala W, adds even more refinement through the proven blood of Libero H and Papillon Rouge. Libero H made history with Jos Lansink and remains a cornerstone of modern breeding through his daughters. Papillon Rouge, a 1.60m performer himself, brought strength, mentality, and brilliance to the French breeding tradition. With this unique combination of Cornet Obolensky, Libero H, and Papillon Rouge, Valou W is a colt with all the ingredients for top-level sport — and clear value as a future stallion prospect.
