Originally owned by Jan Streppel and the Beijer family, Orleans was the foundation mare of Streppel s breeding project, alongside Toulouse.

Jan Streppel, KWPN Breeder of the Year 2020 Sat, 02/06/2021 - 08:55
Jan Streppel has been named the KWPN Breeder of the Year 2020.
Traditionally the Breeder of the Year trophy is announced during the KWPN Horse Days in August, but this year s edition took place in a slimmed down format due to Covid-19.
Surprise
Instead the KWPN society announced the name of the Breeder of the Year during the 2021 KWPN Stallion Licensing and played a video where a KWPN crew went to Jan Streppel s home in Wilp, The Netherlands, to surprise and honour him for his breeding achievements.
Streppel s most famous breeding products are the TC Athene (by United x Jazz), the 2019 European Under 25 Champion and the World Young Horse Championship medal winner and licensed stallion Governor (by Totilas x Jazz).
