Eothain, that should be a real nice one! I can't wait to use Orestus, in the yard here there is a Condios X Western Promise X Prospect Pride filly that might be going on a trip to him next year, but it's not in stone.

I seen Orestus last year at the Cavan Stallion Parade and was very impressed!! definitely one I'd use in the future. Watermill Swatch is a great Thoroughbred. I really think we will see a lot of his progeny doing well. I have a 2011 filly by him and am really happy of how she is shaping up. You...

I have a 3-year-old Irish Draught mare that has just been fully approved and given a Bronze award for her jumping at her mare inspection. The Inspectors really gave her top marks in all areas and strongly advised us to show her. We will be taking her to the RDS Dublin, but are wondering what...

I just want to make a correction, the Loughehoe Guy mare I mentioned above with 'questionable' temperament has in fact unknown breeding!! Being new to the horse business I put trust and honesty at the forefront of any of my dealings and it is a real shame that there is a few in the horse...

Lark, it is funny you say that. After I looked at the horse, I had someone approach me and warn me about the horses passport! I couldn't really pickup what he was saying and didn't bother questioning him more on it, as I already made my mind up to avoid the horse.

The other two L Guy fillies, were excellent! I couldn't point out one fault with them. I actually put on offer on one, but niether of the owners of these two are willing to sell at any price and I don't blame them. The one with the questionable temperament was the first I seen. 5 year old that...

Over the last few weeks I have seen three fantastic fillies by Loughehoe Guy out of draught mares. One had a questionable temperament, but the mare she was out of seemed to be the same!! So with my mare having excellent temperament hopefully she will pass it on (she has so far). Loughehoe Guy is...

Thanks TJP, I came on were to try and get ideas for stallions for one mare and I get the other mare sorted! Lol

I seen Diamond Discovery from a distance at Dublin horse show and though he was nice, but can't find any young stock to have a look at.

TJP, do you know if Crosstown Dancer is still breeding for the 2013 season? To be honest I thought he was dead! I have another mare (Carrickrock Close Shave X All the Diamonds X Creggan Emperor) I'd love to go to him, if you have the details of where he is standing could you PM me them? We have...

I am probably going to get stoned for saying this, but at the moment I am not a fan of Emperor Augustus. I have seen so many in showing classes that I really liked the look of, so went to see one 3 year old and two 4 year olds by him under saddle! They are stunners to look at and had fantastic...

Thanks Simsar and Eventrider23 for pointing me in the direction of Jackaroo!! Definitely going into my little black book for one I will use in the future, as I am a big fan of High Kingdom.

I really like Pointilliste too, but for this mare I think it would produce a large hunter type instead and I have not seen any young stock of his. Does anyone know what they are like?

How could I forget about Loughehoe Guy! I have seen a lot of his progeny and liked what I seen, but they have all been out of ISH mares. Does anyone know what he produces when crossed with a heavy draught? Though I want to refine my mare I don't really want to lose height. Saying our mare passes...

I have a lovely old type Irish Draught mare. She is by The Conqueror (by Flagmount Boy) out of Atlantic Pride (by Knocknagow). She is a 16.2 old fashioned, heavy built mare. We have in the past bred her with Crosstown Dancer and Come T. She produces lighter, athletic stock with excellent...
