Totally agree, I think BE made a mistake briging in the lower levels, the standard of riding I have seen when competing and fence judging has made me cringe... especially those people say they are going to 'have a go' at a novice, these courses are not there for people to 'have a go'. It scares...

It is an awful thing seeing a horse fall and not get up, or even worse, get up and continue with a leg swinging...... however I still watch racing as that is what these horses are bred for and love doing... most do, apart from Moose today in the 16.00!!!!! The problem is that it is all in the...

I love Wolkenderry and from what I have seen, he definitely does jump! It depends which stallion compliments your mare the best! I breed for movement, my opinion is if you have the paces then it is all in the training from there, whether you train them to be an eventer/SJ/dressage horse! I like...

Legrande is very much on my radar!! Also looking at don aqui, dark de Niro and grafenstolz!! Anyone any views on them?!

I had a 16.2hh Rock King mare that I bred off before I broke her, she foaled 2 weeks early with a huge colt foal by Bazaars Exclusive, she foaled very easily and was a fab Mum, unfortunately mr foal was very big (17.3hh now) and had very slight sickle hocks! The mare went on to compete...

Didn't work!!! It's on YouTube under the name dillydot82. Called Dillight!

This is the mare, will post a video over a fence too, about 2 weeks before her accident!

Thanks Bedlam! She's very much a blood type herself and I feel she would benefit from a bit of warm blood in her... I do like Mill Law and know a lot by him... Used Bazaars Exclusive in the past too, just wanted to breed more of a dual purpose type as I'm not getting any younger and I might not...

Thanks! I'm sure it will be nice! Due to the fact I was only asking after nice warm blood stallions that were producing nice stock I didn't feel the need to explain anything about the dam or this mare, her KS was caused by a trauma... If everyone must know... She went over backwards when she...

Thanks Seabiscuit!!! The dam had an inflamed nerve which flared up every now and again usually in the 1.20m SJ rounds she was jumping, so rather than put her through surgery I retired her, 3rd at Floors castle intermediate cant be bad!!! No kissing spine in her, x rays to prove it!! I'd love...

Yes I would as it is not a hereditary condition... 3 in 10 competition horses would show variable severity of kissing spine when x rayed, only one of those may show any signs of the condition and need treatment, by steroid injections or surgery. I know of a few advanced event horses and dressage...

Yes I know that quote well!! However this mare I feel is worth breeding off, I don't know whether you can see my avatar but that is her, I am being ultra critical when I say she is long in the back and straight in the hock, just meaning a stallion that is short with well let down hocks would...

I have a lovely 7/8 TB, 1/8 Trakehner, 16.2hh, 2007, dark bay mare. Out of my Intermediate event mare Dillydotcom who had to retire due to being a mild headshaker. By Ganton Beltaine. Her ridden career has been cut short much to my dismay as she showed a lot of promise and was more talented...
