\"Skippy<\/a><\/p>\n

1984 – 2008 172 cm Chestnut<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breeder: E. Pelisser<\/strong><\/p>\n

An important source of Galoubet blood in Belgium, came in the very tall shape of Skippy II. The French bred stallion competed at an international level with Ric Hemeryck. His largely Thoroughbred dam Gascogne produced, besides Skippy, three licensed sons: Calin d\u2019Espoir (Double Espoir), Elan d\u2019Espoir (Double Espoir) and Hunamour de Mai (Sirocco des Sables). In addition, Gascogne produced Amour d\u2019Avril (Qyou de Longvaut), Frimousse d\u2019Espoir (Galoubet A) and T\u2019Es Delle II (Fol Avril) all of whom competed in lower level international classes.<\/p>\n

As a sire, Skippy produced Grand Prix showjumpers, Maloubet with Hap Hansen, Nikita de l\u2019Aubry with Fernando Sarsola, My Blood and Teresa Blazquez and Marly du Beaumont and Vincenzo Chimirri.<\/p>\n

In<\/span>ternational showjumpers include: My Blood, Sigane van de Grundeval, Sarah de St Pierre, Nilly de la Ferme Rose, Nikita de Laubry and Maloubet.<\/p>\n
