PEDIGREE:
Flipper‘s father Double Espoir served French breeding with distinction throughout his carrier. He sired International jumpers such as Bayard D’Elle, Fidelio du Thot, Avec Espoir, and Apache D’Adriers. The father of Double Espoir, Ibrahim, needs no introduction as one of the most influential foundation sires in breeding. His most famous son being Almé.

The dam sire Jalisco was considered the “Sire of Sires” and his products include Quidam de Revel and Papillon Rouge along with another forty odd approved sons.

PROGENY:
His products are flattering and very in demand. Of a generally medium height, they have acceptable movement and a super action in front over a fence. They are generally good looking.
His offspring in France are competing successfully in jumpers and hunters.
La Luna du Thot  (6-year-old) now jumping international GP;
Lucky de Quettehou (international showjumper).
FLIPPER is now really starting to prove himself as a sire, with a significant number of his offspring from each year qualifying for their respective age class finals, and of those, a surprising number make it into the hunter finals each year. With his huge popularity outside of France, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for FLIPPER.
It would not be arrogant to say that his semen is amongst the top ten most desired in world breeding.

OWNERS RECOMMENDATIONS:
Flipper suits larger mares with movement and good frames. He is having super results with Dutch, Belgian and German mares. He is one of the most sought after stallions in these countries.
Strong points:
Heart, jump, genetics.
