Power, Scope & Elegance

Bred by Luc Van Eeckhoudt and Karin Verdeyen at the renowned Stoeterij Van Paemel in Belgium, Jaguar van Paemel is a grey Belgian Warmblood stallion who combines breathtaking athleticism with unmistakable elegance. Approved by Zangersheide in 2012 — where the jury described him as one of their best stallions — Jaguar has proven himself as both a formidable competitor and an exceptional sire.

Standing 17.2 hands, Jaguar possesses an expressive head and refined exterior that immediately commands attention. Over fences, he displays limitless scope paired with outstanding technique — quick with his front legs, beautiful bascule, and exceptional use of his hind end. His movement is elastic, balanced, and ground-covering with a particularly stunning canter.

Imported to California in March 2019 after a distinguished European career, Jaguar now stands at stud in the United States. He is WFFS negative and lives happily in a family setting, known for his sweet and joyous personality — kept easily without electric wires or bars, alongside dogs, children, and nearby mares.

What They Say

He is possibly the best jumping stallion I've seen imported into the US in the past decade.

Volker Ehlers
AHS Judge & Mare and Stallion Committee Member

Jaguar has phenomenal technique and a beautiful style with scope to spare. He has a big stride, and moves across the ground with a dignified grace.

Hap Hansen
Legendary Horseman

Otis Blue is really nice to flat, and he has a lot of blood jumping. He has a lot of talent.

Shane Sweetnam
Olympic Rider, on Otis Blue (Jaguar x Numero Uno)

I like Jaguar a lot because he is big, powerful, and fantastic looking — with a great canter and huge jump. Most importantly he has a very nice temperament.
