Was there a "stallion book" available for purchase as the oganisers said or just the catologue. Thought I would like a 2010 stallion guide all mine are getter fairly old now.

Can you pm me your email address and I will get the stud I use to get in contact with you. They are great with first time breeders like yourself as well as having good fertility results

Where abouts are you - are you looking to AI or as your mare is a TB will you be looking to send her to stud?

Plus he was the leading sire of "potential" eventers as those evaluated are only foals to 3yo inclusive. Im not trying to take anything away from this remarkable achievement - you are lucky enough to own a pool of very good mares which have indeed produced you some lovely foals. Well done.

So where are your stallion results on the BE site as have just looked out of interest and it shows two entries, both at BE90 one completion but with 60 XC penalties and the other Withdrawn. No mention of DC or placings. BE normally is good with its records!

Firstly cut out the stud mix for the mare so you reduce the goodness she is putting into her milk - Absolutely there is no way a barren mare with a five month old "chubby" foal should be on that sort of diet. If she was mine, for the next couple of weeks I would cut out all hard feed and...

Bought a heavyweigh Masta full neck - I know its not classed as an expensive rug, but it did cost just under £60 and the bl???? cross over belly strapes will not stay done up so have had to tie them with baler twine. Have I just got a bad one - or is this a problem with Masta in general. With...

Ive got a 2yo bred for eventing which has got OCD - gutted to say the least. By an event stallion and I have since heard of several others by him which also have OCD - Obviously the more a stallion covers I suppose the persentage has to increase that he covers suspect mares etc. IMO only it...

Thanks for all these views - dont think I will bother when they decide the weather is better. Probably explains they needed to cancel cause of the weather as poor horses do indeed look even worse when wet. Could do without ending up buying a charity case.

Anyone been to one of there sales. I contacted them today to ask if there was a catologue on line and was told by an abrupt person that the sale had been cancelled due to "bad weather". I know for a fact the venue would be absolutely fine! If we could not cope with a bit of wind and rain we...

IMO a mare like your will almost always produce sane progeny and I would put her in foal to a TB stallion no bigger than 16 or 16.1 or even cross out with a smaller stallion.

Why is it when if someone questions a stallion which has a pro following on this forum that instead of answering the question posed it gets into a debate. Having had a very quick look yes FI has again all first and elites. Julia has presented 8 of his 9 foals forward this year - but where are...

Maybe when the post went on Julia should have put which book he graded into and the reasons why and then LFW would not have to keep asking to bring the point to a fore. Yes his progeny are doing well in the Futuries the majority I beleive bred by the stud out of well breed mares. These mares...

I would certainly recommend Kings Composer as I have now used him twice. The first time sent the mare to the stud and she was quickly in foal and returned home looking very well indeed. This time foal at foot went the AI route as didnt wish to travel foal very early as wanted to go on foal...

This 3% will only go on and achieve if they have the opportunity to be produced by a top yard! The breeders who are able financially to keep their youngsters on and have the money to put them into training will hopefully baring accidents see the fruits of their labour. The breeders which...
