Cavalier

Cavalier is one of the most successful KWPN stallions in international showjumping. Under the name of San Patrignano Mister, this outstanding athlete claimed major successes in the international arena with Franke Sloothaak. The combination won more than 40 international competitions; grand prix, puissance and speed classes. After his successful showjumping career, Cavalier returned to the Netherlands where he has been used for breeding ever since. Offspring from Cavalier's first breeding seasons are already successful. International showjumpers such as; Tinello Isha ridden by Albert Voorn, Blushing Groom under John Popely, Illusion under Jörne Sprehe and FAN Cavala ridden by Eddie Macken being the best known. Like the famous Olympic jumper Felix, Cavalier is also a son of the sire Maykel. Cavalier's dam, Wina, by Orthos, is a member of the reputable northern Netherlands Sina family. This excellent breeding family produced numerous national and international sport horses such as the international showjumpers Piccolino (Notaris) under René Tebbel, Maltstriker (Abgar xx) under Eric Wauters, Oleandra (Farn) under Peter Postelmans and Pierrot (Marco Polo) under Emile Hendrix. The stallion Quadrifoglio (v. Cavalier) who was very successful during the young horses championships in 2005 at Zangersheide will continue his international sports career with the Italian rider Jerry Smit.
