Hi, so I have a 13 yr old ISH mare. I have owned her 6 years and evented plenty up to BE100 level in that time. She hasn't the scope to go higher up the levels. the only reason I am considering breeding from her is that she is the most genuine giving mare. she would never consider saying no. and she is very laid back and gentle. and obviously i don't want to part with her. she is very TB built 16.1hh, built slightly downhill, not the best power or scope. so I would be looking at something small, short coupled and powerful.( I am only small, don't want too big a youngster to handle)
so my question is. what would be the chances of getting her in foal via AI? Am I right In thinking it is harder with frozen semen? I would love to find a Connie stallion with a tremendous jumping pedigree. I like the look of Dark Stranger and he is local to me, but only available via frozen. Am I dreaming about the chances of this working?
I can't seem to find UK based connie stallions that really excite me with jumping bloodlines. they all seem to be based in Ireland.
Any suggestions, thoughts gratefully received.
regards
