Varihoka Du Temple

Varihoka du Temple (born 2009) is a dark bay Selle Français stallion who epitomizes the "French flair" in German showjumping. Stationed at the legendary Gestüt Schockemöhle, he is a proven 1.60m Grand Prix performer known for his lightning-fast reflexes and a "fighter" mentality that saw him catapult into the international elite within a single season.

As of March 2026, he is 17 years old and has transitioned into a highly influential sire whose oldest offspring are just beginning to make their mark on the international youngster tours.

The "Speed Demon" of the 5 Circuit*

Varihoka du Temple’s sporting career, primarily under Germany's Patrick Stühlmeyer, was defined by his incredible efficiency in the ring.

• Grand Prix Specialist: He secured major victories in the Grand Prix of Neustadt/Dosse and Opglabbeek, and was a podium regular in 5* World Cup qualifiers and Nations Cup teams.

• The "Rubber Ball" Technique: Judges and fans often noted his "bascule" (jumping arc) and his cat-like agility, which allowed him to shave seconds off jump-off times without losing power.
