He was quite successful at a young age, when ridden by Nelson Pessoa on the French circuit, including winning the 7 year old stallion test at Fontainebleau.

Baloubet du Rouet is currently also used as a breeding stallion, as well as an active competitor in the show arena. Having been at stud since 1993, he has sired several nice horses including Gitane du Brumans II, Gatsby Vandrin, Gonzague du Rouet, Gershwin de Reis, Balou Grande Z (winner of the 30-day stallion test in 2002 at Neustadt/Dosse) and Balou du Rouet. He is especially popular in Germany, Belgium, and Holland.
