Aur Aquavit 580994

Chestnut Stallion foaled July 26, 1998
Bred by Elizabeth H. Rily (Janice M Siders), Anamoose, North Dakota

Aur Aquavit has three crosses to Aurab through two different sons, the brilliant trotting and very stylish Aur Pride and the internationally successful Ben Rabba, and a daughter, Aurzeya. Aur Aquavit’s pedigree also features Nataf which some considered one of the two best sons of the great Kellogg sire and athlete Farana, and the brilliant trotting and beautiful headed Alyf, for some years chief sire at the old (1925-1963) Kellogg Ranch. Aur Aquavit’s dam, Royal Night, was one of the best and most beautiful daughters of Night Dragon, and probably the most stylish one of all. Her dam was Dynasty Royalette, one of the best daughters of Royal Binis; for years I tried to buy her before finally succeeding. Royal Binis was a renowned show champion who often competed in English classes with Aurab. Aur Aquavit is Royal Night’s only foal.

Aur Aquavit is a liver chestnut. He features an unusually good disposition. He is sensible, brave, and quiet, yet he can show considerable style and he has a very good trot. He has good bone, joints, and feet. He has a nice Arabian head and a beautiful expressive face. He has fine Arabian eyes and nice ears. He has the strong loins and smooth coupling of his Aurab background. Mrs. Elizabeth Rily of Anamoose, North Dakota, and Pahrump, Nevada, owned Aur Aquavit all his life until late 2004. When young he was injured, leaving his right hind hoof to grow out with a permanent split in its outside wall going all the way up to scar tissue in his coronet, and leaving him sometimes favoring and resting his left hind (as shown in his picture) when standing still or turning on it, but when he moves out he moves out soundly. By reason of his accident he has never been trained to ride and probably should never be ridden.
