Aristo is a classy chestnut registered Oldenburg gelding by Autocrat. He is a very laid back, quiet fellow with an amazingly scopey jump. He loves people and attention and has good movement with that lovely rythmic steady canter. Estimate of his mature height is 16.1hh to 16.2hh.

Aristo’s dam Ferne is an Oldenburg mare by the imported Oldenburg stallion Fernet Branca (by Furioso II) out of Kaumajet . Fernet Branca, was a successful Grand Prix Dressage horse. He was ranked with the World Breeding Federation as one of the top dressage sires in the world. His son, Fun competed at the World Equestrian games in Rome on the British Equestrian Team and was ranked in the top 100 dressage horses in the world for 2000. Fernet, a son of Furioso II, also scored "9" in jumping at the 100 day test at Adelheidsdorf, Germany finishing 10th out of 67 stallions. Ferne was inspected into the Oldenburg Verband Main Mare Book with the top marks at her inspection in 2004. As well as being an outstanding mover, Ferne has the great temperament and rideablity that Fernet Branca was known to have produced in his offspring.

Aristo’s sire, the approved Hanoverian stallion, Autocrat, was imported from the Celle State Stud, Germany. His oldest offspring turned 5 yrs old in 2010. He sired the 2010 USDF Horse of the Year Materiale 4 or 5 yr old mare, 2 Toronto Royal Governor General's Cup Reserve Champions (2008 & 2010), 2010 Toronto Royal 5th place horse in the Lieutenant Governor's Cup, Hack Champions, Provincial Dressage Champions, and young hunters starting their careers with good ribbons in their first classes.
