Oh I do love him!! L, I have a friend who has just bought a Dales foal (filly), she has a couple of geldings and is obsessed with them - she wants to start breeding them - do you do AI with you lad? Her main prob is that she's in Cornwall and most decent Dales breeders seem to ooop North...
What Dales does your friend have? Do you know their full names at all?
Afraid we don't do AI, we are based in Lincolnshire, so not as far North as some!
To be honest I only know of one stallion that offers AI - the problem is there are so few stallions around, and, as you say, they are all up North, mostly on the Dales!
Wow - lands that is one gorg horse there...I have to say I am rapidly falling in love with the Dales breed since being on this forum...they are special.
I love all hairy horses big and small!
Yes this is my OH's beloved Cairo. Mr C is on a few web pages and has also featured on the front page of scottish and northern equestrian and model horse magazine.
Contrary to people views, he is not big, just under 16.3 but I am only 4'11.
To date I have yet to met anyone doing SJ and XC on a Clydie - in his younger days he was successful at local level - not fast but boy can he turn, never stops and nearly always clear.
