The final of the SBB competition was held in Merksplas previous weekend. Gigolo van Paemel, the Cicero son out of Sissi (Sandro x Argentan), proved that he did not have any problem with the height among the five year olds and jumped with a lot of power and scope a clear round with Nick Vrins. Galisco van Paemel (Cicero Z x Feinschnitt I vd Richter) also stayed clear once. Gallantino (Cicero Z x Sire Major de la Cour, breeder Paul Steenackers) too jumped a clear round with Lies Steenackers. The by Roger Van Nuffelen bred Godess + (Cicero Z x Up to Date) also managed to stay once faultless with Marco Van der Schraelen.

The SBB competition in Heusden took place two weeks ago. Our BWP approved Gigolo van Paemel (Cicero Z x Sandro) took part in the five year old horses with Nick Vrins. The stricking beautiful son of Cicero jumped two times clear and managed to jump a clear jump-off as well, what yielded him a joint first place.

The last week in Lummen at the family Postelmans was traditionally ended with a 4 stars CSIO, since this year known under the name 'Hyundai Spring Classic'. On Saturday it was Cicero's offspring's turn in the other arena. This time the five year old horses had to jump a jump-off in the BWP class for young horses. The with a lot of power jumping Graffit van de Citadel (Cicero Z x Palestro vd Begijnakker) stayed clear over the two courses and gained a 4th place with Carlo Bruyninckx. The stud Gigolo van Paemel (Cicero Z x Sandro) also jumped a clear round, but got one fault in the jump-off. Together with Nick Vrins he ended on a 10th place.

Not only Cicero did it great at Lummen, but also his offspring was noticed during the selection class for five year old BWP horses, who were judged on their style on Saturday. The very powerful Cicero daughter Gina, bred by Peter Goossens out of a Nagano mare, jumped a striking round with Willem Meeus. The lovely mare managed to convince the jury of her jumping qualities and pinched the 1st place on hundred starters with a score of 87,78. Gina was followed by the stallion Galisco van Paemel, who also showed a nice technique and power. Jasper Schepers was with the good jumping Ginnis van 't Geyzeven (Cicero Z x Heureke de la Loge, breeder Boudewijn Schepers) on a nice 4th place. On the 5th place the elegant Graffit van de Citadel, by a Palestro van de Begijnakker descendant, was displayed under the saddle of Carlo Bruyninckx. Gotti van Paemel (Cicero Z x Calido I) took possession of the 7th place with Bob Janssens. Nick Vrins gained an 8th place with our BWP approved Gigolo van Paemel by the Sandro mare Sissi. Grand Cru van Paemel (Cicero Z x Silvio I) may also apply at the 25 finalists.

On Thursday the 4th heat of the pavo stallion competition was ridden at Flanders Horse Expo in Ghent. Once again was Stoeterij Van Paemel represented by 3 stallions. The beautiful five years old BWP approved Gigolo van Paemel (CIcero Z van Paemel x Sandro) was the first to go ahead with Nick Vrins. Gigolo jumped high above the obstacle with a lot of elasticity and stayed nicely clear. Thanks to this he maintains his second place in the rankings.

Yesterday the 2nd heat of the stallion competition took place in the riding school 't Overdijk in Moerzeke. The first 'Van Paemel' who started was Galisco van Paemel, the five year old BWP approved son of Cicero Z van Paemel out of a Feinschnitt I vd Richter mare. Galisco jumped a very nice clear round with Nick Vrins and with that he gained a joint first place.

The next one was Gigolo van Paemel (Cicero Z x Sandro), who like Galisco started with the five year old stallions. Gigolo showed as well power on the jump and he also registered a clear round, by which he ended joint first.

On Friday the BWP Stallion Championships took place at the 'Zilveren Spoor' in Moorsele. The five year old stallions were dished up a high an difficult track. Gigolo van Paemel, the son of Cicero by Sissi (Sandro x Argentan), was the first to start with Nick Vrins. Gigolo immediately showed how it should be by jumping a great clear round. Although Gigolo made the track look easy, the contrary was proven because of the fact that he was the only one who stayed faultless. By that Gigolo gained his first champion's ribbon and he took the cup home.
