When his former rider and trainer Nathan Budd talks about Cashpaid J&F, he can’t help but gush: “With Cashpaid J&F, everything looks effortless. If I had to describe the horse of my dreams, that’s exactly what it would look like.” Together, they made a name for themselves on the international stage, particularly as finalists at the World Championships for seven-year-old show jumpers in Lanaken. In their first Grand Prix together in Saint-Tropez, they caused a sensation by finishing second.
In 2024, Cashpaid switched to being ridden by the Brazilian João Victor Castro Aguiar Gomes de Lima. The pair took second place in the CSI3* Grand Prix at Compiègne and seventh place in the CSI4* Grand Prix at Vejer de la Frontera. In 2025, they both established themselves at five-star level with numerous top placings and rounded off the year with victory in the Frankfurt Grand Prix. At the recent Longines League of Nations Nations Cup Final in Barcelona, the Holsteiner – bred by Hans-Hermann Gempf (Stelle) – played a decisive role in the Brazilians’ second-place finish with two clear rounds.
Cashpaid J&F is a son of Casall. His dam, Unschuld by Chicago Z-Concerto II, is a representative of the Holsteiner line 325 and has already produced another famous sport horse from her mating with the flagship of Holsteiner show jumping breeding: Cordial by Denis Lynch (IRL). Just like Cashpaid J&F, Cordial has also been licensed in France and has already sired foal champions and licensed stallions there – thereby promoting horses from the ‘land between the seas’ both in sport and in breeding.
