Sired by Olympic
contender, Idocus and out of a Selle Francais daughter of
Galoubet, Roc USA is an exemplary stallion choice for the modern
sporthorse breeder.
Roc’s pedigree reads
like a who’s who of stellar athletes and successful sporthorse
sires. Included in Roc’s lineage is the legendary Voltaire, the
first of the super star performance stallions to go on and prove
himself equally as important as a breeding stallion. Voltaire’s
offspring successfully represent him in all major arenas – their
performances aiding in his being ranked 9th in the top 50 sires
in the ten years from 1991 to 2000. By Furioso II and out of a
daughter of the great Hanoverian stallion, Gotthard, Voltaire is
well known as a sire of brilliant jumpers with great “can do”
temperaments.
Roc’s maternal
grandsire is Galoubet (Alme X Viti) whose offspring include
international competitors Baloubet du Rouet (who won three World
Cup finals in a row), Gatoubet du Rouet, and Quickstar.
Galoubet’s sire was
Almé, one of the all time great
jumping stallions. Almé was by the great French stallion,
Ibrahim out of Girondine. Ibrahim is out of Vailante, and by
The Last Orange. The Last Orange carried the blood of Eclipse
xx, Matchem xx and Herod xx. His sire, Orange Peel is considered
the founder of the modern Normandy horse. Also found in Roc’s
pedigree are the equally influential Joost (Consul X Ulana), Le
Mexico, Turn To (xx) and Braxton Bragg, a top producer of
Thoroughbred sporthorses.
Standing 17 hands
tall, Roc is a beautiful, correct stallion with real talent and
a strong desire to please. He is consistently throwing
offspring that are athletic, correct and very easy to train.
Many of his foals have been Premium scoring foals with the ISR/Oldenburg
NA and he has multiple USEF Zone Champions and Reserve Champions
in Hunter Breeding with his oldest foal crop just starting their
under saddle careers. Roc is an excellent cross for Thoroughbred
mares, adding both size and substance to their foals without
overpowering their refined elegance.
