GUY LAROCHE German Verband Premium stallion ( E H Michelangelo x Galante V elite mare )16.3 hh


GUY LAROCHE is # 1 FOUNDATION (LEGS and HOOVES) Trakehner SIRE, EVER !

In the most recent (‘08) breeding value index for German Trakehner Verband sires of Official Studbook approved mares,Guy is # 1 ( over 50 daughters with high inspection marks ) in the rankings of hundrdeds of German Trakehner sires,present and past,for siring mares with the best quality foundations.
And for overall quality ( movement , conformation , general impression and all characteristics judged)Guy Laroche is 10 th -among all German Trakehner stallions ever - for siring high quality approved mares.This puts Guy in a class with such well-known greats as Caprimond ,Partout ,Munchhausen and many others.
Furthermore,while you can hardly go wrong with outstanding legs,gaits and conformation ,among sporthorse owners in Germany,Guy is respected also as a sire of ATHLETIC competitors with very GOOD CHARACTER and trainability.
Some of Guy’s most noteable performing offspring are : ALVARO(‘03 USDF Horse-of-the Year at 3rd level) and VELIJANOW ( a top 10 6 yr. old jumper in Germany.)
Guy Laroche is among the best proven spothorse sires of any breed standing at stud in North America.He was awarded the title of Premium Stallion at his inspection, placing third to his half brother Champion Kennedy and the Reserve , legendary, Sixtus.
2006 Stallion-of-the-year, E H Michelangelo (http://www.webelsgrund.de/english/michelangelo.html),is Guy’s sire. E H Michelangelo and Guy’s brother,Kennedy,are in the top 10 of all time sires of studbook approved mares.
Comments from the German Stallion book:“Guy Laroche’s get are remarkably large framed,outgoing and agile.They are usually recognized as children of their father by their nobility,conformation and presence.Guy Laroche sires foals with excellent neck sets.Occasionally with straighter angles in the hind legs.Their movement is forward in noble self carriage,with good reach and regularity,almost always an improvement over their mothers’ .” Guy’s prepotency as an excellent sporthorse sire is well established .Guy is a very good cross on mares that need either a refining influence or more substance for their offspring.
Guy Laroche’s dam, elite mare Galante V, had the States Premium and Verband Premium titles.And on his sire’s side also , his granddam (Miami) was an elite mare ,States Premium and Verband Premium. Miami was also the dam of E H Monteverdi.
.
