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 Janice Siders tried to buy her before finally succeeding in getting her for her Diablo Vista breeding program. 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 extremely dark liver chestnut. He features an unusually good disposition. He is sensible, brave, kind, very tolerant, and consistently agreeable and amenable. He is quiet, yet he can show considerable style and he has a very good and thrilling 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, however, this split is only in the outside wall and does not penetrate even the white line. By reason of his accident he was never ridden until 2012, when he was 14; at that time he showed that, in addition to his other attributes, he seemed to simply have been “born broke.” Being ridden was a new thing in his life, but he took to it with aplomb and his usual quiet good confidence and adaptability, enjoying going out into and seeing the world on rides.

Mrs. Siders has retained Aur Aquavit’s lovely, sweet tempered daughter, Sudden Romance, and so with necessity to limit her herd population was able to let Aur Aquavit go on August 22, 2012, to Whitney West, Oroville, California. It was Whitney who began riding Aur Aquavit.
