KWPN Stallion Cachet L to Dutch Junior Micky Schelstraete

Dressage

The Netherlands

Dutch junior rider Micky Schelstraete has received the ride on the KWPN licensed stallion Cachet L.

Cachet L is a 13-year old Dutch warmblood stallion by Jazz out of Jirondine (by Ferro x Nimmerdor).

He is bred by Jan Lamers and was originally named Cironn L.

Cachet L was licensed at the 2010 KWPN Stallion Licensing and did the 2010 KWPN Autumn Stallion Performance Testing, scoring 81,5 points. In december 2010 he sold to Grand Prix rider Mirelle Witlox-van Kemenade.

Cachet L did very little breeding and was mainly focused on sport. He was fifth in the 2011 Pavo Cup semi finals and third in the 2012 Pavo Cup Finals. The pair represented The Netherlands at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in 2012 and 2013. As a 5-year old he finished 8th in the Finals, as a 6-year old he was 9th in the Finals. This was the horse's only international show experience.

The 45-year old Mirelle Witlox-van Kemenade hasn't competed internationally since the spring of 2017 and has slowly been selling her top stallions, including Ferdinand and Cachet L.

In the summer of 2020 the stallion sold to stallion owners Joop van Uytert, Marthijs Brouwer and Tim Coomans for breeding. The horse has now moved to the stable of junior rider Micky Schelstraete.

"I am more than lucky to say that I will be riding the gorgeous and super talented approved KWPN stallion, Cachet L," Micky announced on social media. "From the moment I first got to ride him a couple of weeks ago, I immediately fell in love with him!! I am very excited and cannot wait to compete him."
