Apiro is a son of the legendary, Argentinus, who for an
amazing seven years led the FN statistics of his age group for the
prize money earned by his progeny with offspring competing at the
international levels in both dressage and jumping. A
successful advanced level showjumper himself, Argentinus
sired 28 approved sons, 48 State Premium mares, and became Germany's
youngest millionaire based on money won by his progeny. He was
renowned for passing on his willing temperament to his offspring.
His sire, Argentan I, produced 19 approved sons and 119 State
Premium mares and was highly regarded as a broodmare sire.
From Absatz, the type and unmistakable face of his sire,
Abglanz, is stamped generation after generation. From
Argentinus' damsire, Duden II, comes the dynamic
movements and impulsion of Duellant. Apiro's
dam, the State Premium mare Pyrah H, is a strong producer of
sporthorses including the showjumpers Perle, Pandora,
and Power Girl, Rocci Balboa who has been successful
in the young dressage horse classes, and the State Premium mare,
Airline. She also produced the approved stallion, River
Phonix, who won the Bavarian Championships and placed in the
Bundeschampionat. Pyrah H is by the exceptional
jumper sire, Pilot, who was the first showjumping stallion
with progeny to earn one million deutschmarks.
His second dam, Ceda H, is by the Cyklon
son, Cyrus. The Hanoverian-based
Trakehner, Cyklon, established a
good jumper line and was a superior sporthorse sire.
