Dutch Warmblood(WPN; Oldenburg/ISR Apporved ,
born 1983, Black/White Pinto, 16.3 hh


He is one of those rare individuals who can combine an extremely heavy breeding schedule with showing and training. He can do this because of his outstanding temperament which he has past on to his son Arts Aero. Art Deco has earned three prestigious star awards and is an Elite stallion. He has competed successfully in Grand Prix Dressage, Hunters, Eventing and Jumpers. He is one of the top producers of premium offspring for ISR/Oldenburg with Arts Aero being no exception. Art Deco also has produced numerous stallion sons and premium mares.

Samber (grandsire, topline)

Brown Tobiano, 16.2h April 2nd 1976
Samber is a grand prix level dressage horse and Z level jumper in Europe. He has similar markings to Fuhler. Quoted from information from the NA/KWPN, "Samber passed his performance test in 1979, where his golden temperament earned him a 10! The jury described him as a sufficiently talented jumper and a highly talented eventer and dressage horse. 30% of Samber's offspring are skewbalds, but all of them inherit his perfect temperament, while they furthermore show supple and highly harmonious movements."
He went on to jump at Z level with a 15 year old rider and when he returned to dressage competed to Grand Prix.
He is still alive and covering mares today. Samber has been in the top 15 for producing dressage horses in Holland (out of over 400 stallions) and in the top 100 for producing jumpers. Samber is by Pericles by Relic by War Relic by Man O'War.
