Offspring 1987 (foals)
The foals by this stallion are well developed. The uniform collection was made up of long lined riding type foals. There was no difference between the group of picked and the group of selected foals. The head is expressive and well formed. The neck has good length, is well formed and is well carried. The poll has good length. The wither is long but should develop more. The shoulder has sufficient length and is generally well placed. Sometimes the group of picked foals had a short shoulder that could also slope more. The back is well muscled and the transition to the croup is - by way of well-muscled loins - good. The croup is well shaped and has sufficient length; the hamstring is long. The foreleg is generally well placed with a well-developed knee. In few cases the stance was either back at the knee or straight. The hindleg is correct. The legs are generally hard and have quality. The walk is good, although the hock could function better. There is scope from the shoulder. The trot shows freedom in the shoulder but the hindleg should come underneath better. The hock and knee are not used much in the trot. Both the walk and the trot were sometimes irregular.
In short: a uniform collection of long lined, riding type foals with refinement and well-positioned legs of good quality. The freedom of the shoulder is good in the trot but the use of the hindleg is limited.
Shown: 22 foals out of 111 breedings.
1999
Permanent approval on the basis of his 11-year old offspring.

Performance test report
Conformation description
Aram is a noble stallion with good type and much quality. The stallion has long lines, has a good neck and has much expression in his head. In the course of the years he should get more depth.
Performance Ermelo 1985
Playful, friendly with good humor. He is impertinent and honest. He was still green at the start of the test. During the first half of the test he had trouble keeping his attention on his work. During that time it was difficult to get him to work and he did not carry sufficiently. Halfway through the test he had a breakdown. Afterward he performed better and his attention was more on his work. He has difficulty using his neck well. He is fun to ride in spite of his playfulness. The walk is sufficient in scope but sometimes irregular. Sometimes he is behind the bit at the walk. When he is on the bit he has a nice looking, balanced trot. Because of his playfulness and fooling around this is seldom seen. The canter is strong and well carried; the left lead is better than the right. He shows good technique in jumping under saddle. In free jumping he is often too playful and does not concentrate on his work. He has a good eye for the jump and he has much scope. He was ridden with a martingale while jumping under saddle and during the cross-country because of his habit of raising his head over the jump. He has a good cross-country gallop and he has scope over the jump. He would rather play than work but when he concentrates he is willing to work. He finds the work normal and enjoys it. He has more than sufficient talent for dressage, much talent for jumping and cross-country. He was in good condition upon arrival and remained that way. He ate normally.
Stall behavior is calm.
On 4/19 he fell during the cross-country, causing bruising on the right hind knee. He was able to continue normally. On 5/17 he was irregular behind. On 5/22 he went to Utrecht for further testing. Nothing showed up during this examination.
