I'm not too sure on this one, I don't know if its the photo but I think I might skip over him if he was a different colour?

Stiff drink to anyone who gets this far:)

I like that whole site. Could spend hours on there. Is this for a particular mare?

And that dark, dark chestnut colour is amazing; almost like black with a red mane and tail; I can see why you like it; but what would the mare have to be for the foal to inherit it? The mare would have to pass on chestnut, presumably, but how does the liver (?) variation work?
One for the colour people.

Me too love the whole of them, favourite is crosstown, but then crosstown dancer is one of my fav stallions of all time. Is it liver you are looking for? If is is what about Ballineen it's William, he is stunning saw him at the Dublin show this years, He along with Tors gentleman Farmer were my favs. Tors won and William was reserve.

There are some very different stallions there, what are you looking to breed, how is the mare bred and what build is she (pic would help)????

I suppose in general, just nice to admire. The *mare* in question would be a chestnut sports horse, tiny bit long in the back and could do with a better engine. Beautiful temerment and loves to jump but is getting on.

How is she bred? Are you aiming to breed a jumper?

My personal choice of those would be Castana or Crosstown Pride but it would depend on the mare and what you are aiming to breed as I think there are better stallions if you are looking for a jumper.

For me, the pick of the bunch is Coolcronan Wood, purely on how he is put together, gorgeous. It does depend on what discipline you are aiming for.
