My kind? What on gods earth does that mean???

Sport horse, it's not a case of "not being bothered" as you put it, my stallion is thoroughbred so dummy training is a pointless exercise. I want a few foals for myself and that's it. I have no intention of offering him at stud or keeping him entire. All of my horses are very well looked after...

My stallion is thoroughbred and I don't plan on having him graded before gelding him. I plan on having 1 or 2 thoroughbred foals and the same warmblood. Having him dummy trained/ collected seems pointless. I'm not looking to sell any semen and I don't want to end up with 10 of his babies 😉

What a good idea! I really hadn't considered that. Another thing I hadn't considered is just how late in the season it is (I'm not sure where the last 3 months have disappeared to!!) so I will be looking to start early next year. That said, I will start looking now and hopefully the right mares...

How is your mare bred and if you don't mind me asking, why is she LOU?

This is exactly the type of situation I am hoping for where someone isn't using their mare and could do with leasing for a while for whatever reason. I would never buy, pretending that I was keeping the mare for life if that wasn't my intention and who would want to sell their horse knowing it...

Exactly... Sounds like a scam or a nutter! I'd think the same! On the other side of the coin, whilst buying is an option, do I tell the sellers that I am only planning to keep them for 1 breeding season? I would sell to that person either!! Be positive - I keep bloody forgetting we are in...

As the title suggests, I am looking to lease some mares. My stallion will be arriving in the middle or the year and will be gelded by the end of the year. I don't have the time or facilities (or the desire even) to stand a stallion but I'd like to keep one or 2 of his babies as future riding...

:D I have ordered a few in utero foals from Gestuet Falkenhorst and the first mare has been confirmed in foal! This time next year (fingers crossed), I should have a palomino foal by the very impressive Callaho Benicio :D :D :D The mare i picked is a very pretty and refined, cremello...

Without including the cost of the semen, how much do you set aside for AI? How much do you cap your spending at and how many attempts do you try before you give up for the year? I am looking into breeding my mare and I think I would stop after 3 tries, £1500. Is this a reasonable amount of...

This is a lot of information for a "hypothetical" stallion ;) I think this is why people jumped to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) that you were referring to a particular stallion.

What a pretty girl. Congratulaion. I visited Deutsche Eiche a few times when she lived in Scotland. Very very nice girl. I am glad she found a nice new home. Out of interest, did you buy anymore of the horses of just her? There was a beautiful black KWPN mare, I always wondered what...

She was buying one at a time as she also has little storage space but farmer said he wont continue to sell one at a time whe he has other customers who are buying in bulk and his stocks are pretty low. I am totally in agreement with Freespirits. With fuel and delivery it adds an extra...

A friend (who I board my horse with) got a delivery of 12 round bales of haylage at the weekend. The bales were £25 ea but with an hourly charge to the farmers home and back plus fuel the delivered price works out to £42.67 per bale :eek: What do you pay per bale (delivered) in your area...

He is back in Germany.
