it's owned by Liam Murphy according to the Central Prefix Register.

I loaned a mare to a friend and that is exactly how it goes. It can work very well, should always have a contract in place though all the same. I think people will be more likely to actively look for mares, especially if paying livery fees, when the weather gets nicer and the mare can...

Which foal is this Rollin? She's beautiful. Where are you sending her for SJ training?

If you can't, don't go ahead. Apart from ownership of the foal, you could be taken to court if something happens to the mare in pregnancy or foaling, and the owner turns around and says he didn't give you permission.

Does the foal have a stud prefix in her name?

He used to stand at Stallion AI so it may be worth contacting them to see if they know where he is now. They may even have semen stored with them. For a really good selection of showjumping stallions all in one place, have a look at Brendon Stud. Their youngsters are very successful out...

sport horse breeders often do it, think Cassini I, Cassini II, and Capitol I, Capitol II, Capitol III etc.

With my mare's last foal she had to be irrigated for five days. It may have been a bit of overkill, but rather that than lose her, she is very precious. She retained some placenta so the vet wanted to be sure there would be no infection. She also had antibiotics. The gunk that came out was...

I'd trust them with any of mine. I think you only have to see the success they have had with their boys and offspring. They are all happy, well behaved horses, and poor treatment doesn't produce that.

Have a look on you tube as well. You can search British Novice, Discovery rounds etc and you will see the jumps used.

He is trying to play with you as he would another youngster. He does seem to listen when you reprimand him though. Mine would always take a sneaky nip when I was leading him out and not paying him attention. Colts nip. Until he can be gelded, can you find him a colt livery somewhere?

that is a lovely photo Rollin, he is a gorgeous boy.

I had a gorgeous mare by Sam R, I have only just sold her and she has bred some stunning foals. I like the lineage and her temperament was second to none. Her new owner wants to put her to a beautiful and talented Connemara eventer, so I am looking forward to seeing that foal.

i find it odd you are on a breeding forum complaining about breeding. Anyway, I have a video of when one of my foals was born and there is a mare in the paddock next door looking absolutely imploringly at the foal. She was born to be a mother, but hadn't been able to that year as she had...

why has she never been vaccinated? If that is the case, the foal can start their vaccinations off at a younger age. I assume she hasn't had the equine herpes jabs either through pregnancy? this is a useful information page http://www.mountvets.com/equine/vaccination-2
