shes lovely Balou has been a stallion ive overlooked and i know you are all going to hiss and boo me but i havent really took a great shine to him * i hear you all gasp*but looking at the end of the day whats born will be sold ive gone for what would sell better than what i like? if that makes sense i think theres more a market for Balou foals more than there is what id pick..? the mare ive choosen has had a nice foal this year im happy with, so ive choosen something hopefully that will be sellable.?
 
You know what I think of Balou

and my fillies are super. I have put my Sandro mare back to him for a third time, hopefully a colt year in 2009. She is due to be scanned in about a week

Here are a couple of pics of the Balou fillies so you can make a judgement

Sandra Du Rouet born 2008

Another stallion that I really like at the moment is

Chaos

http://www.meadowstud.com/24.html

I know that he is as yet unproven as a performer, but just look at his breeding. He is also stunning in the flesh. How many legends did we say we wanted in one pedigree

He is one that I will be using

Just a little footnote to this, which will make no difference to what has taken place, but may alter your decisions in the future.

The affix "du Rouet" is owned in France by Yannick Fardin, the breeder of Baloubet du Rouet. He has spent 30+ years of blood sweat and tears (and money) developing his brand and reputation as a breeder. That PS has chosen to "steal" his affix for Balou I would find a little annoying (Yannick knows there's nothing he can do about it). Of course, you will not have known/realised/understood this when you named your youngsters, but can you imagine how you would feel if someone "stole" your business name?
 
thats a good point actually if i have a live foal next year i would have done the same used my preffix but also used du rouet somewhere in the name so it suggests that the foal is from this line but i can totally see where you coming from as i wouldnt have thought of it just gone ahead and named it

God I didnt know that but i didnt name mine with the du Rouet as i wanted her to stand out from the rest and be different ! she is Willvellitt Phoenix
 
Obviously I'm wrong but I would have thought if someone has paid to use a stallion then it would be acceptable to use part of his name in your offspring ?? I would also think it was a good advert for the stud too ??
It would be a different story if you used the affix on foals that were not directly related to the stallion of course.
 
I'm glad no one thought I was being the head teacher.

It's the same in Belgium with van Overis, Van de heffinck, Van de Schutterhof etc etc.

I've now got to create a new affix for my Haras, which is not easy, as you have to balance promotion with pronounceability (if that's a word).
 
but there is a difference is there not... take as a example gerald from overis stud his are all breed from him and named before being sold so there name stays the same throughout there life... you couldnt use the overis stud preffix as what you are breeding wouldnt have anything to do with him? when breeders like say for instance cruise line are breeding they are using different stallions and just using a part of there name does this make sense...to me its a bit different but a very good point but i think every 1 jumps on that band wagon look at a results page for showjumping there sires name is always suggested in there name somewhere... i think im confusing myself and contradicting myself too lol

We used the affix of some of our Dutch breeders with our fillies this year, but we asked the breeders first in Holland, who were absolutely honoured that we were willing to continue with their marelines in the UK. So it can work both ways, but agree you need to speak to people first before doing it.
 
c i knew i would confuse people i must admit i use the name of the stallion in the naming of some of mine, though its not a affix i use. i think breeders wouldnt mind people using a affix if they had asked permission and was happy with what was being produced at the end of it. i dont think if i was a breeder of 30 years etc that i would be happy with offspring from all different kinds of breeding using my affix now then whats the difference between a affix and a preffix? lol got my blonde head on today!
 
It sounds like a small tutorial on naming is needed here.

Zangersheide: You must name the foal using the first letter of the fathers name as the first letter of the foals name.

Holstein: the same as Zangersheide.

BWP: Like the old car registrations, they use a letter as the first so when you think of Dallas van Overis, if you know your sequence, you'll know he's five. They are now on either I or J, I think

KWPN: The same as BWP but are at a different letter, this year it's D.

SF: Same again but they are at letter U this year.

AES: Do what you like.

Point taken, I would agree with you, I did not realize it was someone's affix, although having searched for the Du Rouet affix (which does not seem to be registered with the central registrar), it looks like he has stopped breeding as there are very few horses around carrying that name.

What about the oldenburgs ????
 
It looks like Oldenburg are father's first letter of first name, same as Z and Holst.

Yannick still produces about 30 horse plus a year, there are loads of Du Rouet's around, but mostly in France.

oh good glad im not the only one !!

wonder what about Hannovarian ??
 
http://www.clarendonstud.com/idelledefontenel.htm

really chuffed with our balou du rouet colt. everyone at the stud my mare is at at the moment says its the most stunning and unnique foal they've ever seen and they have bred ALOT of foals. picture is when he was 1 day old and he has filled out alot more now, hope to get him home soon.

with regards to names, i name the foals out of that mare with de fontenel afterwards because i want people to know they are out of the same mare, so far we have 2 luis de fontenel (by luidam) and balou du fontenel (by Balou du rouet).
my other mares name is more difficult - dancing queen - so her foals naem are a bit random!
 
Trakehners are the real exception - they go with the first letter of the mare's name. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's another major book that does that.
 
I blame all the confused on the Europeans

Over here the stud tends to by the prefix, as you would call a horse Quainton Joe Bloggs etc

Now on the continent it ends up as a suffix due to grammer so they say Joe Bloggs of Quainton

So its entirely their own fault for having dodgy grammer IMHO

(All mine have our prefix and name starts with sires first letter.... we have a lot of P's)
