Wednesday, December 30 at 4 o'clock the World Cup of Mechelen began. Lucien Somers had build a demanding course for the 40 strong combinations. As Bert Prouvé said on Sporza: "I definitely think that the course is on the World Cup level: a classic course, heavy oxers which are very broad. It will certainly be the horses with a lot of power who will come up here."
As 14th our own Cicero Z van Paemel appeared at the start with Dirk Demeersman. After his course on Monday, Cicero showed again his qualities. He had put up a breathtaking clear round. Only 8 combinations were able to place theirselves for the jump-off, including 3 Belgians: Yves Vanderhasselt (Adamo van't Steenputje), Patrick Mc Entee (Ever Mury Marais Z) and Dirk Demeersman with Cicero. They were the 2nd to start in the barrage in which one bar fell down.
Dirk Demeersman and Cicero ended on an amazing 7th place in his 1st World Cup.

5 months after his fall in San Patrignano Cicero made his comeback at the highest level. On Monday he took part at the CSI5* Mechelen in the 1m50 class that was a qualification for the World Cup on Wednesday. Cicero started as the 16th in a strong competitorsfield. He jumped a fantastic clear round without even coming close to the wood. There were 21 combinations who knew to qualify them for the barrage. Only 7 combinations were able to have a clear round. Also Cicero had a double clear round and he had a great 7th place.

On Sunday the stallion division for the 4-, 5- and 6-year olds took place in Jumping Mechelen. Che Guevara van Paemel (v. Carthago by Betina) was the last to start in the 4-year olds. Ridden by Nick Vrins he had a clear round and that he was last but not least he proved by heading for home with the cup. Of course Esperanto van Paemel was also present. He participated in the 5-year old stallion division and he had a double clear round.

On Wednesday, November 25 the AES France stallion approval took place. Gibson, Cicero Z van Paemel by Amaretti Z (Amadeus Z x Ramiro Z), entered this expertise. This 3-year old stallion managed to charm the members of the jury and got his approval.
After Feingluk de Guldenboom, Frederico van Paemel, Galisco van Paemel and Graffiti van de Worfthoeve is this the 5th son of Cicero who is approved.

On November 11th there was a loose jumping competition organised by Broechem. There were also some 3-year old descendants of Cicero. The mare G-String van Puyenbroeck (Cicero x Silvio) in property of Jan Vermeiren impressed the members of the jury and she did not only achieve a score of 82 but she also gained the victory. Gazelle van Moretus (Cicero x Sheyenne de Baugy, Ann Lauwers)  showed a great power and became 3rd. On the 5th place we found Garmex van Mawo, a Cicero son out of a Blauer Vogel mare of Steven Matthijs and Kelly Wouters. And also the 10th place was taken by Gallah III in property of Jos Wuyts out of the combination Cicero x Epsom Gesmeray.

It went like a bomb for Dirk Demeersman and Cicero Z van Paemel in Luik. After a period of rest and a minor injury Cicero appeared at the start in a 1m35 class straight on time. Dirk went for a calm ride and they still achieved a 13th place. On Saturday he was again in on a 1m40 class with an accumulator against the clock. Dirk felt that everything was fine and with a quick faultless round they gained a 4th place after Deusser, Wathelet and Bosteels. Sunday Cicero participated in a 1m40 class and he was again clear with a time that was good for a 9th place. In short it was a more than successful weekend for Dirk and Cicero!

Like every year in November there is the loose jumping for the 2- and 3-year old horses during the Week van het Paard in Affligem. 199 horses passed in review including the 2-year Himalaya van Paemel (Cicero x Skippy II) owned by Julie Van De Voorde. A score of 230 proved that Himalaya managed to charm the jury. In the mare division she was ex aequo winner together with H Blue Boy (Blue Boy x Athlet Z, De Cock Julie). On 128  2-year old horses she obtained a more than reasonable 3rd place, with Arko De Houti Z (Asca Z x Landadel, Houdaert Vanessa) as winner.

Coronel Z (Cicero x Caprilli) was selected for the Danish International Sales during CSI Odense. That he showed his best side, was proven by the sale price. He was sold for no less a sum than 110.000 DDK (± € 14.780) to a Danish stable. Last year his full brother Cuverdo Z was brought under the hammer for an amount of € 18.125 on that same auction.

The 8-year old Darco son of Quechua, Barbarossa van Paemel, participated in the 4 star competition of Caserta in Italy. Ridden by his French rider Aldrick Cheronnet he started Sunday in the Grand Prix. They were the only combination who were faultless over the two rounds and therefore they have won the Grand Prix.

Today Winona van Paemel (v. Darco, uit Quechua), who is since a couple of weeks ridden by the Swiss top rider Steve Guerdat, gained her first result. They are present at the CSI-W Helsinki where they competed in the International Speed Championships today. Winona was ranked a great 8th place, what promises for the future.

The first weekend of October was more than successful for Aldrick Cheronnet and Barbarossa van Paemel. In Italy the CSI3* La Mandria took place. Barbarossa managed to qualify for the Grand Prix on Sunday. He finished up at a great 4th place behind winner Michel Robert (Kronos d'Ouilly).

Gracefull was sold on 3rd September for not less than € 48.000 and therefore she was the auction winner of that day. She was sold to England. Also Goran van de Ossezak (Cicero x Littorio x Pachat II) was allowed to fall in the last day of the auction. This 3 year old son of Cicero showed as well his power and he was also sold for an amount of € 48.000.
