Cum Laude’s First North American Crop Crowned First Premium

provided by Iron Spring Farm

The Approved KWPN stallion Cum Laude landed in North America in the summer of 2021, just in time to breed to a few mares. The resulting foals were born late last summer, right before KWPN-NA keuring season. All four foals presented earned First Premium.

One of those foals was Sidney ISF (x Hofrat). The KWPN jury described Sidney ISF as an elegant and light footed mover with a good posture. He is a well-developed and long-lined colt, with a well-developed wither and shoulder.

Cum Laude’s yearling daughter Rosa Cum Laude (x Sir Donnerhall) was awarded 1st Premium, placing in the KWPN-NA Top Ten Dressage Yearlings for 2022. In 2021, she was the US Breeders Championships Western Final Champion with a 82.412%. (She was the first Cum Laude offspring born in the USA and was bred via frozen semen in 2020.)

Cum Laude’s European offspring also continue to rack up accolades. Kynona, Elite (x Ampere), is showing Z1 Level (Third Level equivalent), fulfilling the promise of the Mare Championships she received at the KWPN keurings.

Okatuska (x Ebony) was the Champion Mare at the KWPN Keuring in Drenthe with an 80/85 score and was invited to the KWPN National Mare Championships in Ermelo.

Namalia, Star, Provisional Keur (x Flemmingh, Preferent), competed in the Pavo Cup Qualifier.

Natalinda, Star, Provisional Keur (x All at Once), finished in 5th place with an 83.2% in the 4-5 Year-Old Dressage Horse division at the Horsefood Dressage Talent Final.

Cum Laude is available fresh, frozen and by the dose. He’s approved HANN, OLD and KWPN.

Kaiman’s First North American Foal Crop Due This Spring

Kaiman (Dark Pleasure x Gribaldi, Preferent) will have his first North American foal crop this year. During Kaiman’s stallion testing, he received 8.5s on his trot, canter, elasticity, balance, rideability, talent as a dressage horse, and an 8.0 on his walk. “Kaiman gives a very nice and comfortable feeling under the saddle,” said Dinja van Liere, who rode Kaiman before his importation. “He is very sweet and always focused on his rider. He always gives his best.”

Kaiman’s first son, Ohio (x Grand Galaxy Win), was licensed at the 2021 Oldenburg Stallion licensing in Vechta. Kaiman is available fresh, frozen and by the dose. He’s approved KWPN, ARS, HANN and OLD.
