Martin Performance Horses
Argentum BSH, fondly known as Ace, bred and owned by Dove Butler of Butler Sport Horses, is a gorgeous 2009 Oldenburg stallion sired by KWPN Tobiano stallion Art Deco, out of Seattle Slew grandbaby Sasia. Standing 16.2 h this extremely eye catch boy has a heart of gold and an unbeatable work ethic that shows in his work and in the competition ring. Ace was presented at the ISR Oldenburg N.A. Stallion Inspection in 2015 and obtained his Lifetime Certificate Breeding License with an impressive score of 228 which earned him his first Star award for Oldenburg Stallions. In 2017 he earned his second Oldenburg Stallion Star in Sport-Test by achieving 5 of the required scores and top 3 placings at Prix St. George at just 8 years old. He's scored in the 70s every year he's competed. His exceptionally kind attitude and remarkably good behavior makes him a gentleman at home, on the show grounds and in the breeding shed. He has been genetically tested as AA, TO/n, G/n, meaning he will only throw Black or Black with a 50% chance of Tobiano and/or Grey. He also has tested negative for PSSM1 and Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome.
