Could anyone tell me what time this starts please?

Hi, I'm trying to find out information on the dam and sire of one of our mares. Dantes Disciple -bay 16.1hh 1981 Evas Trial- Thoroughbred Does anyone know anything about them, or does anyone know how I can find out which stud book they were likely to be with, how they were graded? Any help...

Thanks guys. That's helpful.

Can someone advise me on travelling a 2mth old foal with Mum. We would really like to take our filly foal to B.E.F. evaluation at Dyce if it goes ahead, but will take us about 3hrs. Is that too long for a young foal? We will go down the night before, so she doesn't have to make 2 long...

A good idea Gonetofrance. I've sent mine.

One due at the beginning of July. Waiting with baited breath as our Highland mare slipped her foal a fortnight ago, with only 10 weeks to go. This foal is highly anticipated as it will be the first from our own Arab stallion, who is 13 and only started covering last year. I don't think I'll...

Have a look at www.irishsporthorse.com and look at the section on online stallions. There is info on there as to where White Clover was in 2006 - address and phone number of his owner. Hope this helps.

Hi, there are 4 White Clovers listed on the all breed database. If you know his DOB, you may be able to work out which one his him and then get some background on his breeding which may then lead you to some info on him. A round about way of doing it I know, but it has worked for me in the...

How exciting. Congratulations. Glad everything went well.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I did send this to the Lounge forum without any luck. I then remembered I'd read some posts on here from people who had attended the grading so I'm having a second go. Apologies if you've all read this already. We have just taken part ownership of Baldorran and am...

I'm with you on this one. I do think we all have a responsibility to breed only from mares that have good confirmation and a good temperament. I think we all have to be accountable for what we produce and brutally honest in our assessment of our mares (as difficult at times as this may be).

I think time may work, but all horses are different. We took on a rescue case back in November. He is 10 years old and was still entire, so we had him gelded before he arrived. For the first 6 weeks or so, he paced the fence, dropped off weight and had very stallion tendencies. About 12...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. We have just taken part ownership of Baldorran and am wondering if anyone has any photo's of him jumping at the SSH grading. We went down to the grading, but didn't stay to see him being graded because at that point we didn't have an inkling that we were about to...

I would check with the stud, as we worm visiting mares on arrival. We state this in the terms and conditions so that the mare owners know this is going to happen. Good luck with it all.
