He was also the High Point Hanoverian Stallion and was awarded that coveted honor with a beautiful AHS Champion cooler. "Archie" is a 2003 Class 1 Elite Hanoverian Stallion, by Waikiki who is Weltmeyer/Bolero, and out of Hoheit who is by the esteemed Hohenstein. Archie received his lifetime License for the American Hanoverian Society, German Hanoverian Verband and ISR/Oldenburg NA with his successful completion of the 2007 100-Day Test.
He is an incredible stallion, with movement to die for and a temperament that cannot be beat as was proven by his AMAZING scores at the 100-Day Test! Archie amazed us with scoring FIVE "9's"! He scored them in Character, Temperament, Canter, Jumping Aptitude and Ability to work! Bred to be a Dressage Stallion, Archie has proven himself to be a magnificent jumper, outscoring ALL the other stallions at both the Hanoverian and Oldenburg presentations and rousing many compliments from the judges who were amazed with his jumping prowess. Archie is currently competing at Preliminary Level in 3-Day Eventing both with his owner and a 17 yr old teenager, and is slated to move to Intermediate in 2011. He is jumping 5'3" undersaddle, 4'6" courses, and competed through 4' in jumpers. His success in the show ring has truly PROVEN his versatility in all arenas: Dressage, jumpers, hunters and especially eventing. In 2010 he was Hanoverian Horse of the Year for Prelim Level Eventing!
