Skippy II

Skippy II HERO

1984 – 2008 172 cm Chestnut

Breeder: E. Pelisser

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’Espoir (Double Espoir), Elan d’Espoir (Double Espoir) and Hunamour de Mai (Sirocco des Sables). In addition, Gascogne produced Amour d’Avril (Qyou de Longvaut), Frimousse d’Espoir (Galoubet A) and T’Es Delle II (Fol Avril) all of whom competed in lower level international classes.

As a sire, Skippy produced Grand Prix showjumpers, Maloubet with Hap Hansen, Nikita de l’Aubry with Fernando Sarsola, My Blood and Teresa Blazquez and Marly du Beaumont and Vincenzo Chimirri.
