KWPN folks--Maykel and his son Cavalier

[vineyridge]

What can y'all tell me about these stallions?

Does anyone know if the Dutch Cavalier is available in the US?

Hi,

I like Cavalier a lot, I really thought about using him on one of my mares last year. He was one of the stallions in the KWPN-NA semen auction last year. Marieke at www.boreashorses.com may have him available. I would love to know more about him as well!

They are sireline Wild Risk, which should make them interesting to event horse breeders. It certainly does to me.

Hope this helps!

He was born in 1984.
So is fresh or frozen available?

According to the Boreas Horse website, Marieke has 9 frozen doses left--3 doses for $1500, or one dose for $650.

I rode a horse by Maykel (Belisar on the other side). I am not very familiar with either sire--so can't tell you for sure from which parent he inherited his characteristics.......Anyway, he's a lovely boy. Very refined, beautiful head. Neck set a little bit low. Great hind end. He had an easy time sitting and a fairly quick hind leg. Piaffe and passage were coming along great before he sold. He would sometimes want to sit too much in the pirouettes & changes and would get a little bogged down. The only negative was that he tended to be a little lazy and dull to the leg if allowed to be that way. I guess that's a plus or minus. --as anyone could ride him and not worry about spooking,etc. He was fine if I kept my leg aids quick and not holding.
