He sired International jumpers such as Bayard D'Elle, Fidelio du Thot, Avec Espoir, and Apache D'Adriers.

Comment on offspring:

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.

Offspring results:

offspring in France are competing successfully in jumpers and hunters.
La Luna du Thot ISO 159 (6-year-old) now jumping international GP;
Lucky de Quettehou ISO 159 ( 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.
