What a fab post. If my mare doesnt come right then im going to put her in foal this year and was wanting to use a british stallion. I will be researching all the dressage stallions mentioned below. Thanks guys.
I echo Pro-Set (think it was Maestro who said him), not just because my yearling is by him but also because there were some very successful progeny by him too at the Futurity this year at all levels.
Also, MD_Bec (I think... the lady who had the amazing success with her stallion recently at the gradings) has a beautiful gelding by him who I am watching very carefully as he is the first one under saddle that I have known
I think he is really starting to prove himself as a sire, and hopefully as more progeny hit the competition circuit we will see more successes...
Lauriston gets enough mares for a boy of his age. Although as you know, (I believe you saw him at PHSP Stallion parade @ Moulton College) he looks, acts & performs like a stallion half his age. Long may this continue!
Has to be another vote for Lauriston i'm afraid!! Such a star, proven competition horse and competition sire and a nice person... what more could you want really!
I concur all your comments re Lauriston. I have a 3 year old by him and I totally adore her. She is easy to handle, totally level headed and has character all breeders hope for, not to mention her great paces. What I love about Lauriston is that he throws such correct conformation and a stamp that is very much for the modern day sports horse. Having another by him this year and can wholeheartedly recommend him. A real gem!
nice light hearted thread after some of the others that are on here at the mo.. ive got a light short Calvaro Z mare that was thinking of going back to Zangersheide with.... but after reading whats on here and the exchange rate i think it is the time to use a british sire... Lauriston has always caught my eye due to holstein connections the other 2 are Tornado and Hemmingway .. not much knowledge with the dressage but i like the look of murryfirths Don Aqui for dressage and eventing..
hi i have a 5 year old mare by lauriston and she is fantastic, great at dressage and show jumping and her temprement is the best! lauriston is the best stallion x x <font color="pink"> </font>
