Arazkis (Razkel)

If you are looking for talent and lots of potential, then you should be taking a serious look at this gelding.

Razkel is a robust gentle giant, standing at 17 hh. He should mature to a massive 17.1 to 17.2 hh.

Razkel is showing impressive aptitude as a jumper, following in Argus' footsteps, his great grandsire. Free-jumping a 4 foot vertical, as well as a 2½ foot high-three foot wide ascending substantial spread in his younger days, while romping in the rugged terrain and pastures he grew up in. Razkel showed potential for jumping at an early age.

Razkel has been free jumped through a grid with the oxer set up at 3'9". Willing and co-operative, Razkel uses his back well, folding his legs tightly and evenly over the jumps, showing great technique with a zealous bascule.

With his correct confirmation, Razkel boasts three quality gaits. He has a huge, powerful, well-balanced stride, carrying himself naturally from behind with great impulsion, covering ground with an effortless, generous grace. Razkel's canter is well-balanced and ground covering, while his trot is very elastic and his walk is bold and forward.

Razkel is very trainable, learning his lessons quickly. While being laid back, with a great mind, he is intensely curious as to what he may find around the next corner. Razkel has been extensively trail ridden, and shows a calm, bomb-proof temperament. He has shown sense in navigating obstacles, which include bridges, water, ditches and many others found on the trails and in the bush.

Razkel willingly travels in the trailer and has acquiesced to bathing and indulges in the pampering placed upon him during preparation and clipping. Razkel accepts his responsibility for the attention given to ensure his blankets remain in premium condition. Although Razkel welcomes the attentions of his two-footed companions, he also salutes the chance to frolic with his equine comrades (but then again, what horse does not experience comfort with their comrades).

Razkel is also good with the farrier and is easy to handle. His great character makes him a joy to work with. His zest for life and the unknown, make him a game mount, especially while riding over new territory.

Razkel has kept all his appointments with his 4-way and West Nile vaccines, including his worming. He has never abstained from his farrier or dentistry ventures.

Razkel's ancesters boasts the world famous Argus, as well as Pion, Elan Abgar xx, Jasper, Sinaeda and many other Dutch Warmbloods. He also carries the blood of Three Bars, Man O War, Fair Play, Ben Brush (Kentucky Derby winner and indited into the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame), Black Toney (Black Gold's sire), Whisk Broom and Peter Pan (also indited into the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame). Razkel has two ½ sister's (Canadian Warmbloods) who are Premium and second Premium, as of 2001.
