Advice on choosing the right stallion-

I didnt mention Sempers Spirit or Ringo as although both homozygous and both could produce a nice eventing/all rounder, I dont think they will reliably improve length of leg which was one of the key aspects the OP asked for.

Ringo works very well on blood mares, I have used him a number of times and been very pleased with the results, but a big variety in size and length of leg. Sempers Spirit I have used once and had a lovely filly, but again I am not certain he would add the leginess needed in this case. Both stallions carry enough blood to breed an all rounder who could event depending on the mare, and SS himself is fairly refined and neat.

I think finding a homozygous sire who will produce an eventer and add length of leg is a tough order

Personally I think to get length of leg and coloured into the same sentence you might be pushing things!!!! lol!

But of those mentioned previously I would rate Unemmo, I haven't experienced him personally but know of 2 of his offspring who also stand at stud, have seen footage of his foal and his grand-foals by buenno! he is not homozygous himself, but will offer you a very attractive possibility, he is currently showjumping abroad and doing very well. His sons one of which stands at solaris too is called buenno and is a lovely stamp of a horse, throwing nice stock and IS homozygous for tobiano, so there you would be guaranteed colour, here's his page: http://www.umenno.com/homozygous_tobiano_warmblood_stallion.shtml
I am seriouly tempted by this boy myself, (if I do breed again!)
Unemo's other son is owned by another forum user, the horse is called Bavranno and is a very nice looking young stallion: http://www.horsedeals.co.uk/stallions-at-stud/dressage/Bavranno__7-1-10-989283

The other place I woud also rate is shovern stud, I agree that their coloureds aren't going to add blood to your mix and maybe a bit heavy, I'm interested in their new young boy Eros myself, who looks lush and homozygous for black!

I do like the look of sempers spirirt and if available he may offer you possibly the most leg.

Another consideration, although you did say about minimally marked putting you off is Bazaars Chief, but not homozygous:

thankyou all for your responses- at the minute im either thinking sempers spirit- as he is homozygous and quite fine so would hopefully compliment el nicely. I also like phanten from shovern stud although not homozygous theres something about him i like. still undecided as ever but appreciate everybodys suggestions!xx
 
I used Sempers Spirit this year he's a really nice horse with a lovely temprement and i'm looking forward to the arrival of our first foal. He is owned by the united coloured stud and stands at millfield stud which is a great yard. I had no worries leaving my mare with them I'm a first time breeder so its nice having the support of knowledgeable breeders who didn't mind me asking a million questions. :)

Phanten is a lovely horse, I have used him on one of my mares and got a cracking coloured colt who is now doing really well WH, but if you are looking to put refinement into your mare, I personally don't think he would be the right stallion to use.

You need something with more TB in it.
 
Have you chanced to look at the two coloured thoroughbred stallions standing at Gestuet Falkenhorst (where Chess M is also standing)?

'Ellusive Look' is an actual 16.1 H Black Frame Overo stallion, ECHA approved: http://www.gestuet-falkenhorst.com/gflook.html

'Letter of Marque' is an actual 16.1 H Dark Brown Frame Overo stallion, VZAF approved (Gold Ribbon Winner at the approval; VZAF approval entitles Warmblood A-registry in Germany), video of his approval: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me865lRb6Pg
German language page but with photo's: http://www.gestuet-falkenhorst.com/marque.html

Then off course if you would consider looking at a non-coloured, but dillute stallion, there's always 'The Alchemist' (also Falkenhorst). He is lifelong FULLY warmblood approved, is actually a whopping 17.1 H and is himself competing in eventing.

I have to agree with CL that Phanten would not be one to add refinement. My mare has now had a Phanten AND a Sempers Spirit foal and the SS foal is refined, delicate and showy whereas the Phanten one is very chunky and much more hunter like.

The above foal is by Ricco out of a crossbred mare with some Irish and Tb in her her foal is coloured and has a good length of leg.
Ricco is 3/4 TB so you would get your blood length of leg and lastly colour we we are quiet near you in North Yorkshire.
Riccos racehorse son in my sig is now 16.1hh at 3

How about Keady Star - he has been purchased by Langaller Farm and is by Ringo. He is also double homozygous. I bought a fab yearling by him from Ireland and another friend in Cornwall has a cracking 2 yr old. I have never seen him in the flesh - just love the progeny.
 
hi again! sorry for being awol over the xmas period! thankyou once again for all your suggestions! im going to see one of jjayscolouredcollection stallions, Czar next sunday and fairly sure im going to use him! He is a polish warmblood, has a stunning head, and is the right build for my girl! will keep you all updated! hope everyone had a good christmas and new year!xx
 
Hi I have a simmular mare to you by the sound of it. Mine is 3/4 tb and 1/4 clydesdale mid/weight slightly short in the neck. Has a t/b temprement but is very strong. I wanted a more lightweight version of her with laid-back temprement. I used Sebastian III the result is beautifull, she is now 3 and has a brilliant temprement already more sensible than mum, she has wonderfull paces and is coming along nicely. If I was breeding for colour I would go to Country Farm Stud friends highly recomend them.good luck
