Armitage is a young stallion with a careful technique, impressive ability and a great desire to jump. He has an exemplary bascule. Under leading rider on the world's ranking list, Markus Ehning, Armitage has been climbing the ladder of success at breathtaking speed: participation in the Bundeschampionat twice, international ribbons at the age of just seven, VTV Jumper Stallion of the Year award in 2005 on the occasion of the Oldenburg approval and in 2006 he wrapped up the season by taking second place in the final of this year's Youngster Tour in the Olympic indoor in Munich. His bloodlines make him the "successor to the throne" of Argentinus. With Grannus, Inschallah AA, Furioso II and Condor, all of the great stallions in Oldenburg breeding are lined up like a string of pearls. Bred to Carprilli, the dam produced the Verband Premium mare, Freestyle. Armitage represents the Oldenburg mare line of Ballkrone, always good for highlights at the Vechta auctions, in the broodmare sector as well as for stallions like Royal Star (private stallion in Austria) and Wenz (private stallion in Bavaria). Armitage passed the 2001 30 day test in Vechta with well above average scores. Right from the beginning, Armitage drew attention as a sire because of his strong moving foals. In 2006 his first son was licensed.
