I had a 19yo maiden mare to my stallion last year, took first time and is due any day.

Aeroplane could suit - www.ukbloodstock.com .

Lot 23 is her sister, as you can see its is a weak pedigree. http://www.dbsauctions.com/catalogue.aspx?saleId=68&saletype=HIT

The sister to a gold cup winner is 2 generations back if you read the wording correctly, so a weak pedigree, especially considering the dam herself must be pretty old - so there are probably 5+ siblings to this which have done nothing. Plus its a filly - they would be only get this at a sale if...

Tend to geld at 5/6 months old, on the mare. I can't really understand why anyone would leave any colt for longer, unless they had a stallion's pedigree.

I've entered a foal for the first time and already regretting it! How long is it gonna take to get her trotting her up in hand? How am I gonna persuade my husband to 'dress up'? Looks like I will have to enter the colt to make the results stand for my stallion - now he will be fun!

Graham McCourt was known for pulling off the odd gamble, not for being cruel. He now works at Tweenhills Stud if you want to get hold of him.

Flying Legend. I sent a mare to him this year (her first foal is machine by Sir Harry Lewis, so wanted the Alleged), and I haven't seen such a proper stamp for a long time. Big and proper old fashoined, loads of bone and knees the like of which you don't see very often. Personally do not rate...

BTW, IMO he is back at the knee. This is accounting for the fact he looks over at the knee because of the way he is stood and what he is stood on.

Back at the knee, no shoulder, possibly odd feet/definetly poor angle.

I didn't get as far as the back end.

If I had the money this is the sort of mare I would buy for my stallion, Aeroplane. He is a 16hh TB with stacks of bone and a great temperament. Graded with the SHB and first foals are this year but so far so good.

I don't agree with this. Shoot him.

Aeroplane would be another to suit your mare, he is exactly 16hh and has nice movement coupled with a great temperament. Remember the majority of stallions will breed up from themselves, mare dependant.
