Ars Vivendi is a proven jumper producer with a remarkable performance record.
He has three basic gaits that are out of this world and the jumping talent that you expect from Holsteiners. He was a Premium stallion at the 1995 NRW Main Approval in Münster-Handorf and in 1997 he finished his stallion performance test in Neustadt/Dosse with the maximum possible score of 10.0 in the partial index for jumping. Since then, Ars Vivendi has proceeded to win or place highly in numerous novice, elementary and medium level tests for jumpers. In 1998 he qualified for the Bundeschampionat for German jumpers and in 1999 he won the Audi Jumper Cup at the "Turnier der Sieger" in Münster. In the meantime he has won and placed in advanced level tests.His sire, Acord II, a stallion performance test winner and Vice Bundeschampion as well, is one of today's most popular Holstein sires. The damsire, Aloubé Z, an internationally successful jumper starting for Austria , goes back to the line founding stallion, Almé Z. The most successful jumper producer of all time, Landgraf I, and the powerful Thoroughbred stallion, Wanderfalk xx, who also sired excellent dressage horses, round off his pedigree. Ars Vivendi comes from the highly esteemed Holstein line 18 a 1 which looks back on a very old tradition. Most recently, this line has produced the stallions Baltimore (private stallion in Rhineland-Pfalz), Cadillac (private stallion in Bavaria ), Landjunge (private stallion in Brandenburg ), Lucarlo (private stallion in Hesse ), the international sport stallion Romanow (private stallion in Westphalia , Belgium and Hesse ) and Romeo (Holstein Verband). Ars Vivendi passes on all of his own athleticism and dynamics along with the best type values to his progeny. He has sired four approved sons so far: Ars Polandi, Aktion Pur, Attacke UA and Active. Some of his oldest offspring have meanwhile participated in the Bundeschampionat finals for German jumpers and as of 2004, at the age of seven, have collected ribbons in advanced level. For several years now, Ars Vivendi had taken a leading position in the FN estimation of breed value statistics for jumpers
