On 10th January 2008 a post stallion licensing for the Westfalian studbook took place.

After the deaths of Westphalian trademark stallions Pilot and Polydor, things quietened down in the show jumper breeding in Westphalia. But this dry spell did not last long; one ofthe new heroes is Arpeggio. Although this is not surprising as his bloodlines can also be traced back to Pilot.
Arpeggio is known as a creator of mares. Arpeggio daughters are making a name of themselves as dams of stallions. This Warendorf State Stud sire has turned into an outstanding sire - 23 of his offspring are successful at S level, his progeny have won EUR 450,000 in prize funds and six of his sons have been licensed. A high number of performance horses among his progeny is surely an undisputed mark of the outstanding nature of his ability to sire horses offering superby jumping, performance and rideability. The FN estimates his breeding value in dressage as a score of 124 and 135 in respect of jumping. So we can conclude that Arpeggio is one of the most versatile sires in Germany! Arpeggio was vice-champion of the 1997 NRW national approval in Munster-Handorf. His sire, Acord II, was the stallion performance test winner and federal vice-champion and was in heavy demand by breeders from all over the country and from neighbouring countries. Numerous approved sons resulted from the first few covering years including the champion stallions of the Hessian stallion approvals and the ZfDP 1996.
Arpeggio’s dam, the state premium mare Perle is a highly successful showjumper up to intermediate-A class. This mare with her strong paces received a score of 9.0 in free jumping in her field test. Damsire Power was also a successful showjumper. Schoning was the stallion performance test winner of his age class. Reference Sires:
