Panache, Carried by Proud Lineage of top New Forest Pony lines
Panache descends from the famous New Forest Pony stallion Large Rivers Cleopas, a very popular and highly used black pony stallion for the Belgian Riding Pony breeding programme. In sport and at breed shows, this stallion has claimed many victories and won several places of honour. Panache's dam sire, the jet black choice stallion Briljant, captured the title of Stallion Champion at the New Forest Pony stallion licensing in the Netherlands five years in a row. Panache's maternal line is also of the highest quality and was crowned several times with the best prizes, both in the sport and in breeding.

As a Youngster
As early as the age of three, Panache was willing to be ridden by a nine-year-old amazone. With his natural willingness to work, he was awarded a fantastic first and second prize in dressage competitions that first season. Panache won many children's hearts with his playful and provocative pearl black look, his golden character and the friendly way he acts around children, which is very important for pony breeding nowadays.

Superb Moving Mechanism
This black stallion also has various strengths on the outside. His beautiful dark coat partly determines his inheritance. His very friendly head and honest-looking eyes are proudly and attentively placed on a beautifully curved neck. The good, deep shoulders, his strong loins followed by a sturdy and well-formed hindquarters give him a fabulous upper line. This is all carried by correctly placed legs and well developed joints. His proud attitude, good strength and elasticity give him a large walk. The excellent way he moves his front legs, the flexibility and exceptional drive forwards determine his very stylish trot. His rich front and the powerfully driving hindquarters make him gallop in a very balanced manner.

His Second Career: Show Jumping
Panache also looks at his best when show jumping. He flawlessly moves over the obstacle with fine front leg technique and very good use of the back. His qualities were obvious at the international Christmas Horse Show in Malines, Belgium, in 1996 where he won the Belgian Equitation Championship under former owner Iris Van der Kerckhoven

In short, Panache has a very good motor, is overflowing with power, technique, flexibility and willingness. And all this means he deserves a place in pony breeding.
He has many very beautiful foals and when the are presented at the foal competions they always take away the first three prices. One of Panache's products is a licensed pony stallion and Germany and excels in show jumping.

Panache is FEI level trained in dressage. This year he had scores between 63%  and 67 % in the indivual and team test at FEI Pony level competitions in Belgium.
He was selected as a member of the Belgian Team for the 2000 European Pony Championship in Hagen but daughter Julie De Deken chose, at the last moment, to compete one of her other ponies.
