Eri-Aaroni
Eri-Aaroni 3423 Valio (July 12, 1932 – September 1, 1953) was liver chestnut stallion who was a ''Ravikuningas'' title winner in harness racing and a very influential Finnhorse sire.
During his racing career, Eri-Aaroni became the holder of the Finnish harness racing speed record, a ''tähtijuoksija''〔''Tähtijuoksija'', "star runner", record better than 30.0 per one kilometre; ''huippujuoksija'', "top runner", record better than 35.0; ''suurjuoksija'', "grand runner", record better than 40.0.〕 Being both a race horse and more noble and refined in appearance than most Finnhorses of the time, he did not conform to the contemporary working horse ideals, and never gained great success at horse shows. Nonetheless, In 1946, the horse breeding association of Laihia purchased Eri-Aaroni to stand at stud for the unpreceded price of two million Finnish marks. In Laihia, he sired hundreds of foals, of whom 22 were ''tähtijuoksija'' and five ''Kuninkuusravit'' title winners. Today, Eri-Aaroni is found in the pedigree of the majority of modern Finnhorses.
==Early life and racing career==
Eri-Aaroni was foaled in July 12, 1932. He was bred by Sulo Rintala in Seinäjoki.〔 He was by a stallion who was a ''Ravikuningas'' title winner and ''tähtijuoksija'' named Murto 2306, and out of the mare Upeva 1640-V, a 50.0-timed, well-conformed broodmare.〔〔 The colt was brought as a weanling to Turku, and then purchased by, Albin Ahlqvist, who took him to Åland. Eri-Aaroni grew to be a handsome and noble-looking horse who differed from the contemporary ideals of Finnhorse breeding, which favored a stockier, work horse look. Ahlqvist raced Eri-Aaroni occasionally at Turku. Eri-Aaroni was noticed there, and horse dealer Matti Takanen bought him from Ahlqvist for 75 000 Finnish marks. Then, in 1937, the well-known horseman Fritz Buttenhoff bought the now 5-year-old Eri-Aaroni from Takanen for 100 000 marks, corresponding to c. 34 000 Euros, and took the stallion to his estate in Vyborg.〔〔〔Raevuori 1982, p. 42〕
In Vyborg Eri-Aaroni was groomed, trained and raced by Arvi Räikkönen. In 1939 Eri-Aaroni, now 7 years old, broke the ''tähtijuoksija'' ghost limit〔 of three minutes per two kilometres as he finished a heat held at Seinäjoki in 2 minutes and 59.9 seconds. By the end of the season he had improved his record to 2:28.2, or 29.1 calculated per one kilometre.〔 His racing career came to a halt with the beginning of the Winter War, as Eri-Aaroni and his owner were evacuated to Suomenniemi and then Kirkkonummi. In August 1940 the stallion made a Finnish record with his 2:55.6 time for two kilometres (27.8). The record remained unbroken for nearly a decade.〔Raevuori 1982, p. 43〕 Before the war Eri-Aaroni had won dozens of full silver keepsake prizes and challenge cups, which were brought along with him.〔 After the Continuation War began, Eri-Aaroni was raced very little: he participated in seven heats in 1941 and two heats the following year. The only war-time ''Kuninkuusravit'' championships were held in 1943. The event happened to take place during uneventful trench war, and Räikkönen, who served in the Finnish ranks, was given furlough to drive Eri-Aaroni in the competition.〔 Eri-Aaroni had finished third in 1939, and now won.〔
