Jan Streppel, KWPN Breeder of the Year 2020, has passed away from cardiac arrest on Saturday morning 26 November 2022. He was 84 years old.
Streppel's most famous breeding products are TC Athene (by United x Jazz), the 2019 European Under 25 Champion and Governor (by Totilas x Jazz), the World Young Horse Championship medal winner and 2021 European Championships Dutch team horse.
The late Jan Streppel and his wife Miny ran a diary farm which they combined the breeding of livestock with horses.
Streppel's breeding programme is based on the two Jazz daughters Orleans and Toulouse and their offspring. Both mares are full sisters to Adelinde Cornelissen's Olympic medal winner Parzival.
Orleans produced Governor, who was the reserve champion of the KWPN Licensing and member of the Dutch team at the 2021 European Championships under Adelinde Cornelissen, as well as TC Athene, who has won 12 medals in total at the European youth riders championships under Jeanine Nieuwenhuis.
Toulouse produced six elite mares and two Grand Prix horses, including Genua TC (by Charmeur) who recently passed away. Toulouse passed away in October 2018.
