CLR = Personally I wouldn't touch any of the Country Stud stallions, there is far better stallions out there.

DP = Lovely people but again there is far better stallions out there.

DWW = Don't know anything about him.
 
Thought about Goshka Ringo?
My family have several of his. Can send a photo of the youngest if you pm me, don't know how to put on here!
They MOVE, nice natured, crackers from three very different mares, will probably jump (conformation/attitude at this age) and guaranteed colour. Not that cheap though

There is alot of Goshka Ringo fans on hho!!

If you want a good coloured stallion, excellent breeding and super potential (as still young) and value for money, i'd recommend Vincent II (Millfield Stud)

If you want a good coloured stallion, excellent breeding, proven competition record and you got the money, i'd recommend Utah van Erpekom

I looked at using Umenno last year but I thought he was a little dear for what he had done so far in his career compaired with the prices of other stallions around, there were more proven stallions for the same money, which is what I ended up doing but I too would recommend Umenno as well, I thought he was a nice stallion and is on my list of possible mates for the future.
 
Yes he is doing exceptionally well, I am keeping my eye on him, I like him alot. When I looked at him last year, he was just 5 and he was the same price as quite a few good Grade A stallions (I always use one of two outside stallions a year to mix up my breeding lines), I wasn't dissing him I was just saying why I didn't use him when I liked him alot.

Another stallion that I had completely dismissed previously I saw in the flesh the other week was Masterpiece and I have to say I was very impressed by him in the flesh (and its not easy to impress HG!)

or if you don't mind a pony stallion - Georgeo II (but i'm biased

Thanks a lot!! my mare is currently at Country Farm Stud shes gone to Country Top Dollar. i went with this stud as girl at my yard spent a year looking for the best stallion/stud for her mare and last year had one to lone ranger and shes lovely, she never put her to a coloured to get a coloured as she didnt care if she had one or not (her foal is black with white star) put her with him for the breeding line conformation etc. could you tell me why you wouldnt use country farm stud PM me if you cant say on her thanks

hi the foal at our yard to lone ranger has a lovely temprement and is stunning! shes black with a white star out of a bay mare! my mare has gone to top dollar and we also have one due any time to top gun and a further 2 up there to top gun as well! i found the stud really nice and they do care about your horses and look after them
 
Nothing sinister brackenhappy, no nasty stories that need pming, nothing against the stud its just as i stated I think impo that their are far better stallions out there than these stallions, stallions with better pedigree, better records, equally as good temperaments if not better etc etc, your friend may not have cared if she got a coloured or not but imo country stallions have been bred for colour alone and i'm sure alot of people that rave about them wouldn't look twice at them if they were bay and its my personal belief if you want to breed a coloured you should only be prepared to use a coloured if you would still consider using that stallion (or mare) if it was bay. its personal preference, your preference is you like them my preference is i don't, I think there is better out there.

Ringo - Umenno - Utah - Phanten....
 
prob is better stallions out there
grin.gif
but i didnt want to travel my mare too far as it is i have had to travel her 70 miles!! Top dollars temprament was main reason i picked him i went to look at all of them and he was by far the nicest! i'm glad that its not horror stories you have heard tho!!
smile.gif
i'm not to bothered about colour to be honest as long as the foal is healthy it can be green!!(wonder what price i could charge for a green horse?!?!?
tongue.gif
)TBH i'm breeding this foal for me so dont really need top performing stallion as i cant see me ever doin top level stuff as i dont have the time!and as i wont be getting rid of mare or any foals so didnt need to look at what others out there would want!(have contingincy plan if i'm ever skint!!) how far are the other stallions you mentioned?? i would ideally like my mare to have one more when foal is yearling so like to keep options open for other stallions!
grin.gif
 
Me too!

I love a coloured horse but shockingly enough i've never had or bred a coloured up until last year, thats because up until last year I'd never found a coloured stallion that I liked enough to breed from and would have used regardless of him being coloured. But just like buses, none for ages and then three in a row. After i put my mare to this stallion, I then came across a lovely coloured mare by Limbo and then to top it off a stunning coloured pony stallion came up for sale too!
 
I can answer that for you bracken

All the stallions mentioned on here in fact! (Know it all I know!)
Goshka Ringo - Shropshire i believe
Vincent II - West Yorks/Lancs borders
Utah van E - Surrey based
Umenno - Owner Scotland, was at West Kingston Stud, Wilts but currently competing abroad.
Phanten - Devon/Cornwall

Have I missed any?? Please correct me if i'm wrong!!

Oh yeah!
Masterpiece - Gos.
 
bloody hell!! they are a bit of a way from me!!!even though bracken is a good traveller i wouldnt box her for as long as it would take to get her to the studs!! wouldnt be fair on her as i wouldnt be able to visit her often enough!
 
Cheshire - Shropshire isn't that far and Vincent II is literally just over the Yorks border just above Burnley thats not that far from Cheshire either! From the way you were speaking I thought you were going to say you were from the Shetland Islands or something
shocked.gif
, then I noticed Cheshire as your location! Thats a lovely county nice and central imo jump on the M6 north or south and the Mwotsit west
crazy.gif


Just looked at the map and Millfield Stud (Vincent) isn't that much farther than Country Stud! Country Stud is in Preston, Vincent is just north of Burnley!

Wow thank you so much every body for your help.I'm new to this searching for stallions bit.I worked at a stud but they had their own mares/visiting mares and three stallions so there was no trying to find the right daddy.Please who ever mention Phanten could i possibly have a link for him.Off to look at the other stallions you have been so kind to find for me to look at.Thanks once again.

Wow - love your Phanten and Vincent colts HG - they are gorgeous!

Brackenhappy you are lucky to be not far from Twemlows: it's the biggest AI centre in the country (I think) and they have lots of great stallions standing there - and stored semen from even more... (including my boy, although he wouldn't be what you're looking for).v

If I were you I would definitely have a look at their website for next year...
