Even at a few hours old there was no doubt this colt was born to jump - every step he takes is spring-loaded. His favourite gait is bounce! The natural ability he has to work over his back is very impressive, and so too is his suppleness at all gaits. On top of his stellar pedigree and his natural athleticism, he is also ridiculously good looking and sweet natured. With a super chill outlook on life, he approaches each new experience confidently and sensibly. He will be loads of fun for competitive amateurs and professional alike. We expect him to finish around 16.3hh. Vihaan's sire, Viscerado, who made a name for himself in August 2019 by winning the preliminary qualifier for the Bundeschampionship for 4-year-old jumping horses. He was awarded with 8.8 because of a nearly perfect canter, excellent rideability, and a good sense of rhythm. At the finals, he had a nearly perfect round as well and a small time fault was all that stood between winning gold. Viscerado managed to be named Vice-Bundeschampion, a title well-deserved. Viscerado dominated his 50-day- test at Neustadt Dosse with a final score of 9.19 with emphasis on jumping. He received a 9.0 for his ground covering uphill canter and his excellent manner were accomplished by 9.5 for is work attitude and rideability. The judges scored the overall impression of Viscerado a perfect 10! His damsire, Balou Du Rouet, is not only by far the most successful son of his famous sire, the Olympic champion and three-time World Cup winner Baloubet du Rouet, but also an legendary sire in his own right. His offspring are amongst the most successful in show jumping as well as in eventing. This earned Balou du Rouet a place in the WBHSF rankings of the world's best show jumping sires and the world's best eventing sires for the sixth time in a row - and in the top 20 for both disciplines. He has sired over 85 of his offspring are successful in 1.60m show jumping competitions!
