AEA Aspen x The Temptress
On account of Ryans
Aspire is a lovely type of horse, with excellent performance breeding. Dam, The Temptress, was an advanced eventer. Sire Aspen has elastic movement and enormous jumping ability that carried him to 2nd place in the 6yo jumping class at DJWTS. Aspen’s pedigree features the proven jumping lines of Souvenir and Aachen. Souvenir has been a major
influence on jumping lines in Australia - his immediate progeny featured Mickey Mouse - ridden by Vicki Roycroft to 10th place at the World Championships Stockholm 1990, and further down the line Peppermint Grove, dual gold Olympic medallist with Gillian Rolton. Aachen (imp) is one of the most influential stallions to have been used in Australian
performance horse breeding. He produced the internationally successful eventers Aava (WEG 2002 and Olympics 2008) and Belcam Aaberdeen 4 **** Eventer with Jessica Irvine-Brown as well as multiple FEI Dressage
and World Cup Showjumping horses.
Aspire is young and exciting and has already started his dressage career showing huge talent. He has started jumping at local jump club with classy clear rounds and at his first ODE start was immensely impressive. In all three of these disciplines he has won or placed.
Aspire is a very classy eye-catching individual with great paces, a light and soft way of galloping and a jump that is both of technical excellence and inclined to be seriously airborne. A very serious horse for the future.
