Hi everyone.

Does anyone have any stock by the young stallion 'Cash Point' or know much about him himself ?

I'm thinking of using him with my Holstein mare and wondered if anyone had any experiences of his youngsters.

I do realise he's only young himself but are there any youngsters you could show me or comment on, temperament wise etc ?

Thanks in advance.
 
Don't know much about him but was really impressed by a foal by him at the Brightwells auction last year which moved very very well, then saw Cashpoint on youtube & liked his movement - could be an interesting cross for dressage breeding.
 
Cruiseline has a stunning 2010 foal by him which is truly awesome. I love him myself however I would love to hear more about what he is doing competitively as in comparison to other rising 8 yr olds I don't know what he has done...
 
Chris-j - I do know the woman that bought that particular foal from Brightwells last year. She did actually buy him for dressage.

The mare I'm thinking of using with him is SJ bred with fantastic movement.

eventrider23 - thank you, I'll approach Cruisline - I'd also like to find out more of what he has done competitively.

I think he is actually a 2006 so would only be coming 6 this time? The news page for Meadow Stud says that he is back from Holland where he has been doing young horse classes and 1.25's with Robert Smith.

I have seen him in the flesh and like him a lot, I've also seen him in the stable and he seems to have a nice temperament too. :)
 
Twice I've attempted to use the horse, and twice I've been advised that he isn't available. I will admit to being a little confused at his owners stance. Promoting a stallion, and then refusing his usage, seems a little strange to me.

Hey ho, he isn't the only decent stallion, if he's that. There are certainly other proven horses available. ;)

hello Alec,
I'm also confused as to why you've had an issue with the owner over availability.

I have spoken to them and they have agreed to his usage with two particular mares of mine but I did find them a little evasive on a couple of questions.

Sorry - my mistake - mixed him and Chaos up as Chaos is 2004. Still though I would like to have seen more promoted about him - especially if he has been competing on the continent.

I gave the horse some thought, and for a very well known 4* mare. Not to worry, his equal are available!!

Alex Cash Point was in Holland jumping last year during stud season unfortunately but is already home ready for this years for stud season, I have a couple of mares booked in ;)

I saw him last year and he impressed me very much, as did the foals on the floor by him. The foal at Brightwells was very typical of the other foals I have seen.

Cash Point will be at the Hartpury stallion parade on 28th January for anyone interested in seeing him in action and I have always found Meadow stud very welcoming when you go over there and have viewed their stallions at home many times :)
 
I used Cash Point on my maiden Wolfgang show jumping mare. I have found Meadow stud very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. The resulting colt foal is stunning and gaining a very high 1st premium 8.93 in eventing when evaluated by the BEF team. He is tall and elegant with lots of movement, a super temperament and a spectacular jump when we loose schooled him. He has actually just been sold and flew through his full vetting (including flexion tests) with flying colours. The visiting vet was very impressed with how he had coped with it as he was only 18 months, still a colt and it was blowing a gale.

I would have no hesitation to recommend Cash Point and Meadow Stud to anyone.

Here are a couple of links to some video footage of him taken as a foal and later at around 16 months.

Hope that helps :-)

Cruiseline - thanks for all your info, it was most helpful.

Your colt looks absolutely beautiful and your videos are really lovely.

It's also good to know that you'd recommend the stallion and the stud as I've never used them before and personal recommendations are important to me.

thanks again.
 
I bought the Cash Point foal at last year's August Brightwells auction on a whim as I was bowled over by him when he came into the ring.

I bought him for dressage as he has 3 very good paces and is well balanced. He also has a temperament to die for, he is the easiest foal to deal with and you wouldn't even know he was a colt he is so polite!

Another Cash Point sold at the December Brightwells auction from the same breeder but out of a different mare.

The only thing I would say is that his offspring tend to be big, my foal has incredibly long legs and the first thing everybody who sees him says is "gosh isn't he tall!"
 
For anyone who has seen Cash Point would agree, he is a beautiful stallion with very good paces, a scopey jump and a lovely temperament. last year a difficult decision was made between Meadow Stud and his rider as both had a share in the horse. It was decided that a competitive career would be extensively beneficial to Cash Point, so he remained in Holland, where he placed 2nd in a 1.25m class at just 5 years old. From now on, Meadow Stud is the sole owner of Cash Point and he will certainly be available at stud for the coming season. He will continue his competitive career with Geoff Luckett and has already been a a recent winner. As Cash Point will be based in England, viewings can be arranged at any time. His foals speak for themselves and if you have any questions please feel free to contact us and we certainly will be as informative as we can

No problem. Chaos has also had a competitive career planned for him..he was competing successfully on the young horse circuit in Holland but unfortunately slipped and was left with an injury to his Meniscus on which he was operated on but unfortunately the prognosis of recovery has been poor, which has been translated to every interested party. He is now back in work and his progress is strictly monitored. He is available for stud duties but his return to competition is yet to be confirmed by the vets, which is unfortunate as his first few crops of foals included successful auction foals and winners in youngstock classes.

Well, it's taken me nearly a year, but I can see I've finally managed to *almost* convince you to use him Mum ;):D:D:D


Martin, I must say whilst we were stallion shopping at Hartpury last year, it was the meadow stud and stallions which most impressed me- the stallions all had both exceptional movement and presence, and they really stood out!
