Lot 15 - Aurum Aurigan
Brown colt 3/1/07
A colt with a big future. His dam, not surprisingly, is an amazing mover, but his sire is no slouch either, so this fellow is pretty flash. We expect him to be a great jumper as well, since the Macartney/Souvenir line is renowned for jumping and the Aachen line has also produced a number of notable jumpers.
Aurigan is by Aurum Alloy, a son of A-grade showjumper Macartney out of a super-moving thoroughbred mare Begum Belle (dec) who was one of Aurum’s foundation thoroughbred mares. Alloy has real power and elevation with a great willingness to work under saddle. His foals show a beautiful elastic movement that is readily apparent at the walk as well as in trot and canter.
Aurigan’s dam Whanita has a very interesting pedigree. By Wonderful who is a son of Weltmeyer out of the well-known mare Frauenberg (dam of Gumboot amongst others), Whanita also has Aachen as her maternal grandfather (Aachen being the sire of Belcam Aalto). This line has produced a number of top international dressage and jumping horses including Aava (Stuart Tinney) and Belcam Aberdeen (4* with Jessica Irvine-Brown).
Aurigan has really beautiful movement with seriously good elevation and elasticity, not surprising given his heritage, and would make a wonderful dressage horse. However there is little doubt that he would make a top showjumping or eventing competitor as well.
This horse could excel in any discipline.
