[1] Tootsi's goal was to make the Tori horse "more slender, stronger-boned, taller and stronger, so that it would also be suitable for many sports".

[2] In other words, "Aravete wanted to breed the Tori as a very elegant high level horse, without any external or internal flaws and shortcomings.

One of the farm's top horses was the elite class stallion Heik 11607 T (mother Horvi and father Hiko), born on February 7, 1983, whose photo adorns the cover of the November 1986 "Socialist Agriculture".

[6] In the early 1990s, Arved Toots kept the Aravete horse farm performing at the highest level despite his deteriorating health.

[7] After Toots' death in January 1992, the Aravete breeding farm began to fade and closed down some years later.

In the summer of 1982, young actors of the XI graduating class of the Drama School, including Angelina Semjonova, Märt Visnapuu, Margus Tabor, Toomas Urb and others, borrowed horses from Aravete and undertook a three-week tour of almost 600 kilometers in Central and Southern Estonia with horse-drawn carriages.

During this old traveling theater-style journey, an original parody of a variety show was performed by the group for the amusement of many in several towns.

[citation needed] Kadri Mälk, an internationally renowned Estonian jewelry artist and professor of the Estonian Academy of Arts, has used dark chestnut horsehair from Aravete horses in several of her jewelry pieces, such as the necklace "Everything forgiven" (2016), the brooches "Presence" (2017) and "Mountains recognize one another" (2017) and the ring "Ave Maria" (2018).

Beginning in 1960 he entered his Aravete horses in competition many times in the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy in Moscow (abbreviation ВДНХ СССР), winning 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals.
