‘t Roosakker’, the stud owned by Marc Kluskens, is one of the most successful showjumper stud farms in the world. Stars like Cella (Ben Maher), VDL Groep Eureka (Maikel van der Vleuten), Kaprice (Kent Farrington) and obviously foundation dam Usha van ‘t Roosakker were born here. Without doubt, Kassander van ‘t Roosakker has been one of the breeder’s apples of the eye throughout the years. This son by Echo van ‘t Spieveld began his career under Dieter Lahayne, later Grégory Wathelet took over the reins when the stallion was eight years old. Kassander’s premature farewell to the sport is justified by the breeders’ demand for semen from this big-framed stallion, which is why Kassander is a fulltime stud stallion these days. Kassander is a son of Electra van ‘t Roosakker who in her days was Janika Sprunger’s number one mount. At the same time he is the full brother of Kaprice, Kent Farrington’s 1.60m winner. The entire pedigree brims with sport horses, like Electra’s sister Gatoucha van ‘t Roosakker who was active at 1.50m level and she brought for example Leonie Peeters’ Tinkoucha Hero Z and Paris Sellon’s Attoucha. The oldest offspring by Kassander van ‘t Roosakker Z are turning seven this year and are on the verge of starting their international breakthrough. The stallion is best used on high-blooded mares. His lineage, size and capacity can be of enormous added value.
