Ok so a few seem to be up in arms over what I am prepared to pay for a good mare and that was my original question, so I guess I expected a few answers to fall on the more conservative side! Education here and on the continent has proven that the mare does not need to have a performance...

No sorry Alec, you miss understood or I'm prob explaining myself poorly, she is being sold as a competition mare by the agent! Also she is 4yo and just broken in, not 5yo as previously stated, I was mixing her up with another horse I was looking at.

She's young Alec, 5yo and is shown under saddle jumping and is being sold as a riding horse with x-rays and full vetting. I take your point though, it's a bit of a gamble. I think to get a sense of the temperament you need to visit the horse, you get a good sense of the animal in person where as...

I'm looking to breed a showjumper. The mare I have chosen is full brother to a 1.60m showjumper, she's a quality type. I agree with all said above, especially about temperament however, I don't think breeding a horse with the aim to have it so quiet it could be ridden by an amateur is the way to...

I'm shopping for a second broodmare at the moment, looking at taking a promising, well bred and well related young mare out of competition, spending 10-15k. I told someone my intention and they thought I was mad spending that amount of money on a broodmare but I think you need to buy the best...

I think i have narrowed my search to Indoctro and Kannan. I spoke with both studs today and conditions are similar. Apparently, Kannan has covered in excess of 50 horses in Ireland this year, which worried me as that would lead me to believe there will be an oversupply of that age group when...

What a night mare, the situation every breeder dreads. My mare has eluded me twice in foaling, luckily all was ok but i dread to think what might have happened had she got into difficulty. So sorry for your loss. A foster foal might lessen the loss for the mare.

Does anyone have any first hand experience of Indoctro stock?

Hi NBC, id love a Peppermill alright, i thought about Luidam before but kept away as when i saw him in the flesh i thought he was quite small. Am having a look at Indoctro at the moment... Will take a look at Zenturio now Elijhasgal ;) Gees you could spend your life looking up stallions!

Oh he looks really smart RCP, best of luck with him! I wonder would i get a few more replies if i added some photos? Here's a link to an album with lots of pics of my collection of Gg's :) http://s52.photobucket.com/user/sheenab1983/library/Horses%20Lux%20and%20Baloubet And one or two for...

That's a pity RCP, that would make for some nice Irish eventing type lines, but two small horses don't = a big one :)

Thanks for the reply The Mule! I will take a close look at the names you suggested. I should have said that the mare has competed successfully up to 1.10 herself and was ready to progress up to 1.20 and possibly 1.30 had she been given the opportunity. I wouldn't be so quick to rule...

Hi to all the breeders out there! It's third time around for my little mare! She has already bred a beautiful Lux Z who is 4yo and super talented. Her second is by Baloubet Du Rouet, less good looking than the Lux and as yet untested but should be talented if he is true to his lineage. I...

I am expecting a Baloubet Du Rouet baby on May 25th. Mum is by Radolin, her mum is by Coevers Diamond Boy. She jumped herself and had fabulous technique. Im really excited to meet baby! She bred a beautiful colt by Lux Z two years ago who I still have too. Not sure who im going to breed to...

Did i use the wrong forum? :confused:
