Padron
A chestnut Purebred Arabian stallion foaled in the Netherlands on 13 May 1977 by Patron out of Odessa. He won a Dutch title as a three-month-old foal, moved to the United States in 1978 and completed a North American championship sweep: Canadian National Champion in 1981, then Scottsdale and US National Champion in 1982. He died in late June 2007, weeks after turning thirty, leaving a sire line that reshaped the modern Arabian show horse.
