That's too bad. It would be nice to have a few more Arab stallions to choose from.
Particulary those with good Polish or Russian breeding.

For us, recently learning how many stallions
don't get breedings has given us new factors to consider, I did not realize how many stallions did not have any foals!
I agree that the more stallions to chose from
the better for the breed. I also agree with
the person who mentioned the Arabian blood is
possibly better coming thru the sire line.
Having more Shagya, Polish and Egyptian stallions approved
would certainly be an asset to the breed, as some phenominal mares could be produced from these type of sires. Someone
has to add the blood to the lines, so I hope that somewhere out there are some stallions owners, willing to go thru the approval process and somewhere out there are some mare owners with suitable mares, who are willing to add the refinement in these generations, so the breed will be improved in the years to come.
Three of the Egyptian stallions I
worked with in 2001 had exceptional intelligence, were a joy to ride and had breathtaking movement. This way of going is priceless, and I haven't seen such movement on many horses...georgeous...effortless.
If your stallion only ever bred ten Trakehner mares in
his breeding career, I believe it would be worth it
and that your decision could leave a positive
and lasting mark on the breed.
Were you going to keep him a stallion anyway?
I can see you are thinking he would be an asset to the
breed, why not try? Do you have a picture of him trotting?

I'm quite new to trakehners, so can't really give a very informed view, only my own view. My pure bred filly has arab blood not very far back in her pedigree, and it shows in her sheer beauty (ok I am admittedly prejudiced!). She has an almost dished face and her movement is amazing. People often comment on how stunningly beautiful she is to look at. Yes her comformation is very correct and her movement is powerful so she is an excellent dresssage prospect, but time and time again it is her beauty and 'star quality' that everyone notices first. Most warmbloods lack beauty and I think that the right use of arab blood, as well as helping improve the trakehner as a whole, would introduce many new people to our wonderful breed - which performs and takes your breath away.

I too am curious about this issue as several clinicians have suggested I present my Arabian stallion to ATA. I have not done so because I suspected we wouldn't be getting a lot of breedings from Trak mares and I don't own any Trak mares myself.
BTW, as for the issue of the blood on the top... I don't agree with this. For example, I bred a 14.3 h arabian mare to an oldenburg stallion and the offspring is now 15.3 at 19 months. I expect he is going to be a very very big horse when he's done. He still looks very much the baby... all legs.
Here's a photo of our stallion:
