The KWPN has granted the Baloubet du Rouet son Chaman recognized status for breeding. Since 2010, the 13-year-old bay stallion has been very successful in the show ring under Ludger Beerbaum. Previously, Chaman competed internationally under Andreas Knippling and Luciana Diniz. Bred by Boa Agriculture BV of Enschede, Chaman is out of Jadied, a daughter of I Love You (s.Almé). In the 1980's, American Norman Dello Joio competed I Love You at the Grand Prix level. The combination captured the World Cup in 1983 in Vienna and placed second the following year in Göteborg. In addition, they won the Grand Prix in Calgary and the Grand Prix in Toronto, where they were also part of the winning team in the Nations Cup. Chaman's granddam Poline, a ster preferent mare by Lucky Boy xx, is also the granddam of the KWPN-recognized stallion Luidam. Several weeks ago, the Beerbaum/Chaman combination placed third in the World Cup competition in Stuttgart, second in Hannover, fourth in the Global Champions Tour in Vienna, and first in the Preis von Nordrhein-Westfalen in Aachen. Other achievements this year include finishing second in the Nations Cup in Rome and winning the Grand Prix in Paris.
