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. However, the stallion became most competitive when he became the mount of Nelson's son, Rodrigo, as a nine-year-old. Baloubet du Rouet is currently also used as a breeding stallion, as well as an active competitor in the show arena.

Baloubet's dam, Mesange du Rouet, was out of the mare Bardine and by the well-known broodmare-sire Starter. She was therefore linebred to the great Thoroughbred Rantzau . She won 8 of 13 competitions at age four, and 5 wins out of 12 at age five, before becoming a broodmare and producing 5 foals. Mesange du Rouet was also the dam of the impressive Unadore de Rouet (sired by J’T’Adore), who attained a jumping index of 171, and went on to compete under Jean-Marc Nicolas and Olivier Guillon.
