FEI stallion Cum Laude (Apache, Pref. - Weltmeyer - Rubinstein I) was represented by two current year foals: 2023 colt 𝙏𝙪𝙭𝙚𝙙𝙤 𝙄𝙎𝙁 and 2023 filly 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙄𝙎𝙁. Tuxedo ISF was also winner of the KWPN class, Colts of 2023 class, East Coast USDFBC Foal Champion, and Reserve Champion Foal. Twilight ISF finished third in the KWPN class, out of a Friesian mare. Very impressive results for these high scoring North American bred offspring!

Meghan deGaray, breeding manager at Iron Spring Farm , has this to say about Cum Laude's foals: "They’ve had a great keuring season and now a great Dressage at Devon. His foals are friendly, have excellent temperaments and are very nice movers, which is what everyone wants when they’re breeding."

Cum Laude is a wonderful combination of Dutch and German bloodlines. He is by the Grand Prix sensation Apache, Preferent, who competed at some of the biggest venues in the world, including Aachen, Rotterdam and the World Equestrian Games with Emmelie Scholtens. The pair finished 8th at the World Cup Finals in Göteborg with an 80.782% in the Freestyle. Apache was recognized for his superior movement, particularly the use of his hind leg.

Apache is equally well known as a tremendous sire. He is the sire of six Approved stallions: Cum Laude, Grand Galaxy Win, Hometown, Indian Rock, Improver VDT and Intro K. He’s also the grandsire of three Approved stallions. Apache’s daughters are equally spectacular, with 71% receiving a Star predicate or higher. Apache has numerous Grand Prix offspring, including Gio ridden by Charlotte Dujardin. The duo won five CDI3* and above Grand Prix classes with an 84.04% average in the Grand Prix Freestyle and 81.426% in the Grand Prix Special.

Cum Laude comes from a damline that’s highly recognized for performance success. Two of his siblings sold for very high prices at the prestigious Prinsjesdag Auction. Cum Laude’s dam is the Preferent/Prestatie mare Pacharel T. She’s by legendary Weltmeyer out of the Rubinstein I Keur/Prestatie mare Kacharel T. Weltmeyer and Rubinstein I are both prolific sires and damsires of dressage talent.Pacharel T had seven foals who competed in dressage, including two at the Prix St. Georges level and above.
