I have bred a stunning foal out of Don Deluxe with a St P hanovarian mare. I had planned to register the foal hanovarian however I understand she cannot be graded without a brand. I am not a fan of branding and so need to reassess and I do want her graded. Any advice would be gratefully...

Just re read my post and chuckled!! Obviously she's rubbing off her hair not her hairbrush!! A brow band fly veil and a normal mask!!! 😂😂😂

I've been advised that fly masks pose a risk for foals getting caught in them, bit my poor mare hates the flies and now has weepy eyes and is rubbing off all her hairbrush does anyone have any tips? I have Noof oil (non toxic) which I apply but I had wondered if a leather head collar with the...

Thanks auslander, I would love a little sensible field companion but I think I'll be divorced if we aquire another member of the herd. Unfortunately none of mine are quite quiet enough to go in with her at the moment....

Hi all, Anyone got ideas for teaching a youngster over from Germany about turnout?? She eats for an hour and then paces.... Can't put her in with others yet although her small paddock is along their fence line to be close to them. She has been injured so has to be restricted for the next month...

Whereabouts are you?

Hi did you manage to find one of these? I am also in Surrey and looking for the same reason!!

Wow, now I'm really intrigued! I will have a look at Flammengold and Garuda K - thanks!

He is gorgeous! Now I see why you love had a couple by him 😀

Thanks so much for the advice, there's such a lot to think about..... I keep looking at the big names but so helpful to get ideas of stallions that aren't as well known!

My mare has no known hereditary problems, not sure what would constitute a hereditary injury? Vet is very supportive of my decision to breed her. My mare is very compact de Niro may be a good option,anyone with any experience of the temperament that he has?

Will look at rotspun later, am most def an amateur so don't want something that I'm not going to enjoy!! Sandro Hit is off the menu i think!!

I love Millenium, I sat on one of his offspring and had an advanced lesson a few years ago and It was the best hour of my life! I've heard his temperament is second to none.

She is a touch on the small side (16hh and I am 5'9) so would like a bit more height ideally and she has not got great feet (they are tiny) Bearing in mind she is retiring at 11 then a stallion that produces laid back offspring and has had a long career is what I'm after!! I would like to take...

Hi all, this is my first time on this board but wanted to post and see if anyone has any pearls of wisdom to the above. I have decided to put my lovely mare, who is being retired early due to injury, into foal. She is a state premium Hanoverian by Bellisimmo, Dam sure is Weltmeyer. I am breeding...
