Arpeggio - Cassini Boy Junior

Rhineland · gray · 2012 · Height: 173 cm

Description

The Arpeggio son ALABA has proven to be highly successful both in sport and as a sire, having already produced seven licensed sons.

ALABA’s offspring are excelling with victories and top placings in show jumping competitions up to S/** level**—including Abou-Chaker NRW, who became Westphalian Champion of the 5-year-old show jumpers in 2022 under Katrin Eckermann, won bronze at the Bundeschampionat 2023 (6-year-olds) under Christopher Kläsener, and placed fourth in the 2024 final for 7-year-olds under Sophie Hinners.

The chestnut stallion was bred by Otmar Eckermann from Kranenburg, just like his sire. ALABA is owned by Stefanie and Barbara Reining from Bedburg-Hau. This powerful and scopey jumper has enjoyed great success under Stefanie Reining in show jumping up to S* level** and is currently in training with Marc Impelmann.

From the very start of his sporting career, Alaba and Stefanie Reining have been a successful duo in the show ring. In 2017, Alaba won the small final at the Bundeschampionat for 5-year-old show jumpers, later finishing fourth in the final. To this day, he is a prime example of a consistent and reliable top-level sport horse.

For five years, the Arpeggio son has proven himself at S-level, securing his first S victory in 2019* with a score of 8.6 in a style S class in Riesenbeck*. As of early 2025, he has accumulated 65 victories and placings up to S* level**.

Alaba’s sire, Arpeggio, is a top-class jumping stallion with 19 licensed sons and a total of 1,062 offspring competing in breeding and sport. His dam Perle carries the blood of Power, tracing back to the legendary Westphalian jumping sire Pilot.

Alaba’s dam, Cenja, was successful in show jumping up to M/** level**, including under Otmar Eckermann, who also competed successfully with her son Cassini Boy Junior, achieving numerous high placings in S classes*.

Given these remarkable achievements, it is no surprise that Otmar Eckermann chose to use Cenja in breeding, and her pairing with Arpeggio produced an absolute top performer in Alaba!

From the very beginning of his sporting career, Alaba has delivered outstanding results—and as a sire, this exceptional grey stallion has already proven that he is something truly special.
