Aurigan has inherited his father's elegant looks. He is a sensitive fellow who has really beautiful movement with great elevation and elasticity which is not surprising given his heritage. He would make a wonderful dressage horse. However there is little doubt that he is an excellent eventing prospect as well with his breeding! Now in the early stages of his ridden career, Noddy has proven to be quite a fast learner and although sensitive is proving to be very receptive to the work. Even in these early stages he shows nice movement which normally we would expect to develop significantly as his balance and strength improves. Aurigan is by Aurum Alloy a son of A grade showjumper McCartney out of a super moving thoroughbred mare Begum Belle (dec) who was one of Aurum's foundation thoroughbred mares. Alloy has real power and elevation with a great willingness to work under saddle. His foals show a beautiful elastic movement which is readily apparent at the walk as well as in trot and canter. Aurigan's dam has a very interesting pedigree. By Wonderful, a son of Weltmeyer out of the well known Trakhener mare Frauenberg, she also has Aachen as her maternal grandfather (Aachen was the sire of Belcam Aalto). This line has produced a number of top international dressage and jumping horses.
