Well, let's hope not...  :-)  If it's any consolation, one of our stallions that my husband rides endurance made his one and only appearance in the show ring at age 18 in a Sport Horse In Hand class.  He is very UN-Trahkener-like and pretty classic Arabian.  He was named Reserve Champion stallion in some pretty stiff competition, and was tied for high score with the champion--who had gotten the high-scoring ride in dressage the same day, which may have influenced the judge somewhat in the tie-breaker... :-)
