Arkansas was chosen and trained by the Hanoverian State Stud for their prestigious black and white Quadrille. Snow white by the age of 11 when he was imported into Canada, he exuded an unmatched nobility and presence which was enhanced the moment he displayed his floating passage. Along with his exceptional rideability and talent for collected work in dressage, his value as a sire extended to both jumping and dressage.
His success as a sire was enormous. During his years at stud in Germany, before coming to Canada, he sired offspring which initially placed highly in conformation evaluations and ultimately went on to earn close to 200,000 Dm, largely in jumping competitions. His grandsons, champion stallions Escudo I and Escudo II, looking very much like black versions of Arkansas, are amongst the most popular sires of jumping horses in Germany today.
Sire of one approved son and dam's sire of Escudo I (Germany),Escudo II (Germany),Zanzibar II (CWHBA) and Autograph (CWHBA).
