I would be doing embryo transfers, I wonder if they have done any?
For the daddy. Rock King if he was still alive. Um was going to say Jumbo but he's Brits daddy! Mill Law, Weston Justice. Will look for others.

I'd use our stallion Chocolate.. before anyone says why, his dam completed Burghley and Badminton successfuly several times, so his genes are there, plus anything with that amazing 5 foot effortless leap he has is bound to be good!

Extremely Old Nag!
You'll laugh at me, but I would still send her to Bazaars Texas! He has so much ability himself it's such a shame he wasn't competed and some of his youngsters are now coming up through the ranks, so he has to be worth a shot.
I also wouldn't say no to One More Tiger; his stock are very nice.
Good job I'm using both of them this year!

I'd probably look abroad - she would need a stallion with exceptional movement, as well as a fab jump. longer legs as well as a fair amount of TB blood.
Sandro Boy ( international SJ'er with Marcus Ehning) has absolutely superb movement combined with top class jump and attiutude this is just typical of all the Sandro horses. Bloodlines are based on TB but would really need more TB blood.
I also would also seriously consider Catherston Dazzler- he has the movement and also lots of TB from the good old Welton side- he does tend to prouduce v. difficult temperment but Brit has a superb temperment so hopefully that would influence the foal.
I know that the Lucinda is very keen on the Catherston stallions.
Mill Law Id be apprehensive about because of his lack of movement which Ive also seen in the foals even though they are good upstanding TB types.

Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly sure that I heard Lucinda interviewed on Badminton radio yesterday and that she mentioned embryo transfer for Brit.
I agree with HH, Choc would be a worthy mate for her.

I'd be sending her to a Cleveland Bay stallion, but I would send every horse to one

Yes - she's having 3 done, she mentioned it on Badders radio yesterday, and also said that if this time it doesn;t work, they'll be doing it all again in the winter time.
