Titan  (Aeolus -meaning: Keeper of the Wind) is one of the last direct 'Lucky Boy xx' sons standing at Stud in N.A..  Lucky Boy xx   was a Thoroughbred, used for refining of the riding horse and jumping characteristics of the Dutch horse, and he became an important foundation Sire.

Sires which have clearly caused improvement in KWPN breeding over several years, qualify for the 'keur' predicate.  The highest qualification is 'preferent' and honour that is bestowed on famous progenitors such as:  Nimmerdor, Ramiro, Voltaire, Amor, Duruto, and  LUCKY BOY xx..  Lucky Boy xx  is also the Dams Sire of the Stallions "Dublin" (Sire of Juventus), "Beach Boy", "Kanador" and "Hamar". He is also the Sire of "Naturel" (keur), who is the Sire of "Kingston".  Lucky Boy xx  is also found twice in the Dams pedigree of the VDL Stallion "Wellington".

 Titan's Dam, 'Meletto' is by Rigoletto, who sired many international jumpers including; Arizona & Osta Carpets Queen, that competed  at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.  Only 2 sons of Rigoletto stand at stud in the U.S. (Werigo).  Rigoletto is by the famous 'Ramses', renowned for producing numerous Olympic jumpers and Dressage horses, and foundation sire of the great "R" stallion lines in both the Westfalen and Holstein breeds, as well as producing approved sons for many other breed registries.  Rigoletto is also the Dams Sire of the CWHBA Dutch Stallion "Herald" and the Old.NA Stallion "Vergilius"

Titan was imported from Holland in 1986 as a 4 year old. He was presented at a NA/Wpn Inspection and IBOP Riding Horse Performance Test scoring a very credible 90/100. (It was commented that he had an exceptional walk)

He showed in Grand Prix Jumping from 1992 on, for a short time under the well-known rider Hap Hansen.  The reins were then taken over by the talented International rider, Robert Ridlan.  During 1992 he placed 4th at the Showpark Grand Prix, 4th at the Grand Prix of Del Mar, & 6th at the Grand Prix of Indio.  In 1993 he placed 8th in the $30,000. Grand Prix of Los Angeles.

1994 brought him an 8th and 9th placing at the Grand Prix of the Desert III & VI, a 12th in the Grand Prix at Monterey,  a 4th in The Oaks, $30,000.00 Grand Prix, and a 9th in the Sandstone Classic Grand Prix.

In 1995 he accumulated a 13th place finish in the Grand Prix at Indio, and a 4th in the Volvo World Cup Speed Class in Los Angeles. 

Titan consistantly placed in the top ten of the Grand Prixs entered, since his 1992 World Cup Qualifier at Indio.

In total, Titan showed at Grand Prix level, from August of 1989 through Nov. of 1995 with earnings of about $30,000.00 US  His show career took him from as far north as Thunderbird and Milner Downs, in BC, Canada, to as far south as Del Mar & San Diego, Calif.

In addition to his Show schedule, his duties as a Stallion were called upon also, and he was bred to a minimal number of mares each year, primarily with frozen semen, starting in 1990.

His first offspring made their debuts in the show rings in the mid 90's.

In his last year of showing, he found a new partner in Ms. Christa Munton who competed him on the California Circuit and the Desert Circuit in Indio until his retirement to full-time stud duties.

He was imported into Canada in the Fall of 1996, and stood  at Campbell Creek Farm until the Winter of 2002.
