At age 31 Grand Prix horse Beauvalais passed away on tuesday 20 march 2018. The former Grand Prix horse of Spanish rider Beatriz Ferrer-Salat was bred by Friederike Schulz Stellenfleth and was by Bolero.
As a youngster he was first competed by Heike Kemmer, who took him from M-level in 1994 to Grand Prix in 1996. She rode him at national and international Grand Prix level through 1998.
