    Napi is a 1989 purebred Arabian half Russian, half Crabbett gelding who was saved from a killer sale when he was a weanling. He is the son of the Russian-bred multi-national champion, Napitok+. Raised and trained by me, he grew up to be a US Nationals contender. He has qualified for Nationals every year since he was 3 years old. He is a multi-level champion in Hunter Pleasure, Western Pleasure, Jumping, Dressage and  Show Hack. He added driving to his repertoire when he was asked to compete in the Challenge of the Breeds at the Keystone International Livestock Exhibition.
    As a yearling, he was Pennsylvania state Reserve Champion purebred gelding halter horse. He has been PAHA Champion in both Hunter and Western. He has been the High-point Horse of the Year on the Eastern Arabian Horse Show Circuit. Christi was the Rider of the Year several years in succession.   He was the only horse to be High Point Champion Junior horse in both Western and Hunter  for 3 consecutive years. He was 1996 and 1997, 2000, 2001 USEF Champion Horse of the Year in Hunter and  Western  for Region 15.
