Santiago’s Sire Arentino was competed in Prix St. George dressage and did also really well in show jumping. Arentino’s Sire Santiago by Wie Ibikus and out of the foundation mare Schwalbelied was Champion of his grading in 1980 and was a very substantial big framed grandson of the legendary stallion Ibikus, which went on to become a very good show jumper. Wie Ibikus himself produced a big number of high successful dressage horses competing up to Grand Prix. Santiago produced some outstanding broodmares and the value can be seen in his offspring’s competition results. 

Arentino’s Dam E.St Arktis II presents herself as one of the more valuable broodmares of the Trakehner breed, being a full sister to the stallion Arogno, Sire of the stallions Schwadroneur (now dead) and Anky’s stallion Partout. Arktis’s offspring are doing well in 3-day eventing and dressage competing in Prix St. Georges. 

Santiago’s mom Schwalbenfreude is out of the very good mare family Schwarze Schwalbe family and her sire Sir Shostakovich xx (now deceased 2004) not only founded a new young stallion line (off very good show jumpers) through his sons Donaumonarch, Sir Chamberlain, Couleurfurst, Zenturio, Mataro, Chateauneuf and Best Before Midnight, but he also produced some of the most successful competition lines like the International three-day-event-horses Longchamps (Olympic Sydney 2000) and Lester Piggott.

Schwalbenfreude’s Dam Schamar is a full sister to the famous Schwalbenlust (now deceased 2004), one of the real great ladies of the Trakehner breed. She counted among the highest quality brood mares when alive and was Supreme Champion of several National shows. Schamar herself was competing successfully in dressage and show jumping up to advanced level. Schamar’s mother Schwalbenburg by Ibikus “the most influential and highest quality brood mare over the last 40 years “as breeding manager Lars Gehrmann called her,” produced among the four graded sons Schwadroneur by Arogno, so this makes Schamar a ½ sister to Schwadroneur now deceased (2004). Schamar’s sire Enrico Caroso is the Sire of Kostolany, which has had so many wonderful graded sons and daughters which are competing in all disciplines at high levels.

Santiago is a stunning little fellow, who will be staying here at the Singing Stud to go into competition in the future.
