Louise du Plessis (empty broodmare)

BALOU STAR is the grandson of two breed leaders, BALOUBET DU ROUET and QUICK STAR. Son of BALOU DU ROUET, he is a cross between the two most sought-after bloodlines in modern breeding. Extremely successful on the young rider circuit with three consecutive medals at the European Championships, Balou Star had an irreproachable sporting career before devoting himself to breeding with just as much success.
