KWPN-ers zijn zeker ook veelzijdig, jammer dat het hier weer een beetje arabieren tegen de rest wordt. Ik vind het prachtige paarden, die in hun eiegn specialisme iedere KWPN-er eruit zullen lopen, net als KWPN-ers dat doen op hun terrein.
Ik heb nog wat opgezocht over een van de bekendste paarden met arabisch bloed arabieren in de topsport, Abdullah.
Abdullah combines two of the most famous postwar breeding lines in his pedigree, that of the stallion Pregel on the sire side, and that of Maharadscha on the mother side. Both with significant Arabian blood lines from the mutual great-grand sire Fetysz ox.
Abdullah is the most successful showjumper in the history of Trakehner breeding. Under his rider Conrad Homfeld, he won inter alia, team gold and individual silver medals at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. He was the 1985 World Cup Winner in Berlin, best horse of the 1986 World Championships in Aix-La-Chapelle and multiple Prize of Nations winner in the American team Abdullah was approved in 1985 by the Trakehner Association as a result of his performance achievements. His impressive show record includes in 1980 winner of the Cleveland Grand Prix, the Cheltenham Gold Cup Grand Prix, (also in 1982) the Detroit Jumper Classic Grand Prix, the Boston Grand Prix, the 1983 Rome Grand Prix. In 1987 Abdullah was 1st in the Dinard Grand Prix, and the New Hampshire Grand Prix. Before starting showjumping Abdullah was an accomplished Dressage and event horse.
