Very interesting Arabian stallion - Tristtan+++

http://tristtan.com/

People, this is a direct FETYSZ ox descendant .... didn't even realize we still had them. Check out his video, I really like that horse. Wonderful riding too. Anybody have any experience with his foals? I know he's not ATA approved (yet), but that would be a fantastic Arabian stallion to add - performance proven in dressage and SJ.

Any idea of his CA status? Learned my lesson about getting excited by an Arab stallion w/o knowing carrier status.

No I don't. This one excites me way more than Czantiago did, and I liked him too

And I love him to bits. He is out of a Hanoverian mare (Adios III line). My very good friend let me "borrow" her super nice broodmare for the breeding.

His registered name is "Tulach Ard" and he is registered Half-Arabian.

I showed him all last year at USDF breed shows with scores from 72% up to 78%. He ended up 10th place at Dressage at Devon in the Colts of 2012 East Coast Breeders Series finals. He also was 10th place in the USDF year-end awards for colts of 2012. He is full of himself, but has been very easy to work with. He just seems to "get" everything very quickly and with minimal drama.

Tristtan's owner is wonderful to work with (I'm on the East Coast so coordinating a cooled semen shipment could have been tricky but it was super easy).

I registered on this forum just to post on this topic - I was just browsing info on Tristtan on-line in case there were any new pics.

I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have about my boy! Here is a pic from Devon with Bruce Griffin handling. He was going through a growth spurt so he was a bit awkward.
