He's a fab stallion - temperament is top of his list of attributes! But there's no doubt he's a very good jumper too!brilliant thanks - yes CMIB was at the top love him!

Did you use CMSB?brilliant thanks - yes CMIB was at the top love him!
Cos me is Black has to be near the top of the list; he does everything!
Embla Stud near Stafford have a lovely young boy, Embla Top Gear whose stock look promising. He's by Maurice Miner(ID) out of a lovely Ballinvella mare that carried the huntsman for many seasons so if he can't pass on jumping genes I'd eat a hat.
Also look at Grafham Stud's Jumbo sons.
Hi Janet many thanks for that, I am looking at Cos Me Is Black and just trying to trace progeny to see what they have done. Any leads gratefully received.
CMIB's dam's breeding is unknown, that would put me off, even if he is a very good, versatile stallion.CMIB is a really really useful horse in his own right and I can see why he would be an attractive prospect. But there are plenty of useful stallions that are good horses but not necessarily good sires, for a variety of reasons. I am not saying CMIB is one of those (I have no idea)!!
For each minute you spend researching the sire, spend twice the amount researching the dam.
I’d go direct to source - ask the stallion owner what he throws and to what mares and ask about performance of offspring. This stallion is not over used and I suspect the owners will be helpful.
He is a great jumper sidesaddle!!He had a few BE starts in 2013 - didn't cover himsaelf in glory - but looked prmising. Not sure why he didn't do anymore. But he IS versatile -not sure if I can get away with links here, but have a look a this. https://www.theirishfield.ie/irish-draughts-dazzle-at-aintree-205660/
