I have seen so many nice offspring by this stallion...Does anyone have any offspring by him? What traits, good or bad is he known for passing on?
 
He is quite long in the back and a slightly flatter croup too, so I wouldn't want to breed him to a mare with the same fault. When we saw him he was also a little sharper than some of the other stallions at the stud (such as Caprimond & Hohenstein), and I actually came away not overly keen. However I have seen some exceptional daughters of his, often out of mares with a bit of blood (often Trakehners) and I really rate him as a sire
 
My friend has a gelding by him who has an amazing temperament. He has such a good attitude to life. He is however slightly roach backed but I dont know what the mare was like.
I would definately have a De Niro or Donnerhall youngster.
 
I have never seen De Niro in real life but I used him because I saw so many wonderful offspring by him

He gave me two super fillies out of my Knabstrupper mare by frozen semen. There are pics on my website (in my profile) of the fillies & their dam.
