Almé Z

His dam, Girondine, produced three full brothers to Almé, which were all licensed stallions or successful jumpers.

The young stallion was ridden by Bernard Geneste as a five-year-old, before he was purchased and competed by American Fred Lorimer Graham for two years.

During his first 4 years in France, Almé sired the international show jumpers Galoubet, I Love You (2 time World Cup winner), and Jalisco.

Almé's one fault, however, is his progeny's predisposition to scrotal hernia, and several sons and grandsons needed a testicle removed.

In 2002 his great-granddaughter Liscalgot won World Championship individual gold for Dermott Lennon of Ireland.
