As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
Hi all,
What stallions are out there currently that are chestnut? For 14.1hh mare (my avatar actually) who is a cross of Welsh, TB, Friesian and Irish. Because of this I'd quite like something pure bred but as am being so specific re colour will look at crosses too.
- must be suitable for size of mare, so nothing over 16hh and I am quite short so smaller is better.
- no warmbloods, they just aren't my thing.
- must breed calm relaxed foals.
- if possible exceptional hind leg conformation as mare and her mother are both quite straight through the hocks.
- must do AI which will be done by top vets at my home.
I want the foal for low level riding club stuff, so doesn't need to be a world beater, just a nice person who can do a jolly fun ride one day, a bit of dressage the day after and a tiny clear round/xc the day after that.
*Disclaimer, I have my horses at home (see all my property threads) and have not nor would not ever sell a horse should circumstances change. This foal is for me and as the 4 field ornaments I currently have attest I will keep foal however it turns out while they are happy and not in pain. I know breeding for a high chance particular colour is not everyone's idea of sensible but it's my choice knowing it will limit my options.

Have you met him or his offspring at all?
