Description: |
Arlington II was keured in Neumunster, Germany by the German Trakehner Verband. He is fully licensed by the German Trakehner and American Trakehner Verbands.
As a riding horse, Arlington displays a tremendous work ethic, both willing and forgiving, and is a true gentleman in every sense. He has been trained to Intermediare I, and competed internationally at this level in Europe under Jürgen Hoffman, consistently scoring in the mid to upper 60's. Prior to his dressage career he had many placings in show jumping competitions in Europe.
Arlington is the son of the Elite Stallion E.H. Ravel, the prestigious Grand Prix Dressage stallion, with dozens of wins and outstanding get to his credit. His grandsire, E.H. Mahagoni, is the sire of Peron, the highest-placed American dressage horse at the '96 Olympics. Arlington’s pedigree also includes the foundation stallions of Donauwind and Pregel, both descendants of the famous jumping stallion, Abdullah.
Arlington crosses well with all mare types. He stamps his foals with excellent conformation, good bone and height, active hind legs and good impulsion. His sons Tropical Wind and Rare Gabriel, both out of Thoroughbred mares, have been competitive with wins in-hand (78-82%) and in the hunter ring. Arlington’s semen is of excellent quality, with vets commenting “he could get air pregnant.” |
