Templebready Fear Bui is still covering and had over 80 mares last season, even though he is 22 i believe. He's standing near Cork in Ireland, along with his 4 yr old very impressive son, Darwin (who is also grade 1 connemara stallion).

The last owner was the one I bought him from at the sales so I have some info on him. He came over from ireland from Cavan in Jan but previous to that it's just the breeders details. No big scars or knocks, just some old small normal cuts and an old splint - So nothing sinister! He is fully...

How many of you have taken a 'punt' on a horse and did it pay off or not?? I bought a skinny sad looking boy from Ashford Market on Thursday. Only 6, ISH and well bred, apart from being in awful condition I can't find a lot wrong with him other than some old scars and knocks and he has an...

Hi, I hunt with the Coakham. We are pretty fast and furious for the most part although still have rest periods between lines that can be lengthy. The benefit is that your horse is usually recovering so doesn't fidget too much!! I'll be at Wittersham tomorrow but I haven't hunted there before so...

He is definitely in Ireland and he's had a great season! If anyone is interested in using Fear Bui or his licensed son Darwin, pls PM me as Dan O'Brien is a close personal friend of mine and I'll pass on his number.

Hardly ever come on here anymore but tonight stumbled across this and Jane I am so, so sorry to hear of it. Poor Tam. My heart bleeds for you really it does. It's such a rollercoaster of emotions breeding your own and to lose one in distressing circumstances must be absolutely awful. He was...

I always liked Missy, best of luck with her

I had the same issue with my search, finding a stallion around or under the 16hh mark seems to be difficult! I like The Humerist although as I have said previously, the stock I have seen in the flesh have not blown me away. http://www.endhousestud.co.uk/stallions/thehumerist/index.htm

Yeah Fear Bui is stunning, even though he is getting on a bit he got 100% success rate last year and still looks fab. With plenty of top eventers sending successful (even 3*) eventing mares to him, it speaks volumes considering he is a pony! Dan has moved to Normandy, but may be popping up...

My filly last year was the same and also came out of the winter looking very similar to yours with no top line and a bit ribby (she was also huge but cutting the feed out did slow her growth down, thankfully). Once spring grass came through she soon picked up and by 11 months looked great...

Personally I LOVE the stallion, but any progeny I have seen has looked a bit plain and lacked 'sparkle'. This reason alone stopped me using him. I know it's hardly scientific! But I do adore the stallion himself I have to say....

I for one am so bored of these constant debates, which tend to go round and round and never actually resolve anything. You look at the thread about HIS TB stallion recommendations below and realise just HOW MUCH helpful info there is to be found on here. I vote for more of that and less of...

The coming back on to the market thing and being pushed from pillar to post. I think I will write in their passports that I'd always be interested in having them back and always willing to know how they are. Has anyone ever done this?

Have any of you ever sold a horse and then really regretted it later? I am just about to sell some of my horses due to me working too much and I have ended up selling them for much less than their true value due to the rubbish market at the moment. I am questioning whether I will come to...

Alfa A Oil, 1 scoop of stud cubes, 1 mug of baileys stud balancer and garlic x 3 yearling and one foal = pocket ouchies!!
