Aram was in imported in 2001 and tragically had to be put down with a broken leg just 3 months later.  We had the pleasure of getting to know this fabulous stallion that produced an Olympic Gold Medal Champion De Sjiem.  Aram was kind in character, knew his job and wonderful to be around.  You couldn't ask for a better temperament.  We miss him but he will live on in the many foals born in the USA.  His frozen semen is highly successful.

 This great genetic pool comes from such great sires as Princequillo, who's name is found in the pedigrees of many winning hunters and jumpers throughout the U.S. and Canada, such as, Cool

 

Shoes Green Conformation Hunter Champion, Washington and Reserve Champion Madison Square Garden., Excalibur 2nd AHSA Green Working Hunter and 2nd AHSA Regular Working Hunter, Lord Sutler 2nd AHSA Regular Conformation Hunter, Stocking Stuffer four time AHSA Champion Regular Conformation Hunter, Unreal AHSA Amateur Owner Jumper and Champion at such shows as Tampa, Palm Beach, Lake Placid, Washington International, Hampton Classic.

Another predominantly strong sport horse influence  is Blenheim II. There are far too many great AHSA Hunter Champions and International Jumpers which have Blenheim II in their pedigree to name. For example, Jumpers-Rome Dome member of the U.S. Olympic Team, Sloopy member of U.S. Olympic Team won Bronze Medal, Snowbound member U.S Olympic Team won individual Gold Medal, Sombre member U.S. Olympic Team. Hunters-Army Wife AHSA 1st Year Green Champion, Automation AHSA Green and Regular Conformation Hunter Champion, Fun And Games AHSA Champion 2nd Year Green, The Cowardly Lion AHSA Green Working and 2nd Year Green Champion. Third Of August Green Working Hunter and Amateur Owner Champion, etc.
