Karel Johan Schummelketel (24 September 1897 – 8 January 1981) was a Dutch horse rider. He competed in eventing at the 1932 Summer Olympics and won a team silver medal, finishing sixth individually.[1]
Schummelketel graduated from the Cadet School in Alkmaar and from the Koninklijke Militaire Academie (KMA) in his hometown of Breda. Between 1920 and 1928 he served as a cavalry lieutenant and adjutant in the Dutch East Indies, and later became a riding instructor at KMA. He returned to the Dutch East Indies in the late 1930s, and was held there as a prisoner of war during World War II. In 1950 he returned to the Netherlands, and later founded and headed (in 1969–72) the Dutch Equestrian Centre (NHB) in Deurne.[1]
