Yes, there is frozen semen available. I don't know how good it is, was hoping someone had used it and could tell me about their foal.

I've got a couple of questions, first has anyone bred their mare to Rubinstein recently? Were you happy with the resulting offspring? Why or why not? When you have a famous sire like Rubinstein, Caprimond, etc. do you feel it's best to breed directly to the old man himself, or to one of his...

Ok, I've narrowed it down to TWO stallions. I'd like advice on which you think is the best choice and the reasons why. Belissio M Distelzar Here is info. on my mare and I can email her MPT score sheets to anyone interested in seeing them. Ginger Spice is by Graf Top out of an EM by...

Has anyone heard of the Westfalen stallion Desiderius L? He is Hanoverian approved, sired by De Niro x Landadel. He's a young stallion, born 2008. I'd love to know more about him, test scores, temperament, etc.? Thank you! Deirdre

Thanks for the link! Wish I did read German, the translator really mucks it up.

Thank you for those links. They are all certainly of very nice types. I'm thinking of breeding a Hanoverian mare to him.

Anyone here have first hand information on the Trakehner stallion EH Distelzar? What he produces? Does he refine, add height, pass on jumping talent, etc. What kind of movement do his offspring tend to have? Can he improve movement? What about temperament? Thanks!!

Brookhouse suggested Chequille Z State Stud Celle suggested Edward A breeding expert from the Hanoverian Verband suggested several: Lokomotion Chalet Campus Shalimaro Schockemoehle suggested Furstenball Thanks!

Ok, I'm breeding my mare for the first time (see post on here asking for stallion suggestions). I've asked several experts for their advice on what stallion they would choose for my mare and have gotten different answers from all of them! I've talked to the following: Jens Meyer...

Anyone have an opinion on the Trakehner stallion Distelzar for my mare Ginger? Fabriano has also been suggested but I'm afraid he and Ginger would produce a foal with more hunter-type movement? Another suggestion I received was Florestan? Opinions please. I've been looking at various...

RE: Balou Star, he's a handsome boy but unless he's been approved for Hanoverian breeding, I can't register the foal with the American Hanoverian Society. Their statement that his foals can be registered with the registry of the mare is a bit misleading. It would depend on the rules of the...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Lissaro is on my list, he seems like a fine stallion and from what I've read has a pretty calm temperament. He is being frozen and should be available in the US in March (assuming all goes well). Someone mentioned Rubicell and he is GORGEOUS but not (from...

Yes, I know about her movement and that is one thing I want to improve (as I stated in my original post) but I don't want to kill her jump. Ginger is in the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding program (as are her sire and dam) so she wasn't bred to be a spectacular mover, just a very good jumper. She...

So what do you suggest? Should I breed my Elite Candidate mare to a Quarter Horse? Or perhaps a Jack so I can get a mule? Would one of these crosses be more suitable for a pleasure horse? I would call Ginger well bred, her sire Graf Top was 2011 Hanoverian Stallion of the year yet she...

Hello All! I am new to this forum, I found it while researching stallions on the net. I have a 4 year old (coming 5 spring of 2012) Hanoverian mare, she did well at her Mare Performance Test, is Elite Mare eligible, and now needs to produce a foal. I am seeking stallion selection advice...
