Balou du Rouet x Diamant de Semilly

Gem is a 2018 Brazilian Sport Horse stallion (Balou du Rouet x Diamant de Semilly) owned by Black Gem Inc. Part of the inspiration for the company name, Gem was the first horse Michel owned himself after purchasing the then two-year-old colt in an auction in Brazil. Gem has been thoughtfully developed by the team at Hípica Terras de São José, and Michel and Amanda are looking forward to having him stateside soon to continue his career.
