Has anyone used this stallion? He's going to be standing at a stud near us in 2008, and just might be an option for my ISH mare. She's bred a lovely foal this year by Caretino Glory, Holstein stallion, so I don't know if I should stay with this blood line/WBs, or consider a TB like this chap ...
 
Be aware that Abergwiffys have a bit of a reputation and I have known some Devil's Jump offspring which have inherited this quirky side!!
Very, very talented and good looking babies though.
 
Second Boss... currently very popular down here, and they certainly are very beautiful and talented, but personally I'd only put him on a very laid back mare.
 
Word is that he is going to be standing at Hobgoblins in East Sussex for the 2008 season....I don't know why as yet...
Other goss is that a Jaguar Mail son is going to be standing at Hobgoblins for the '08 season as well.....don't know who yet tho
 
Personal I don't like DJ babies but I do LOVE cartino glory ones!!! so stick with him!!!

I have it afterwards as well if ya like!!!!
 
Hey, friendly_horses, if ever we decide to sell him I'll let you know

... we could not have imagined a better introduction to breeding - Fionn was our first foal out of an ISH eventing mare who can be a ratbag at times (probably mostly hormonal, BUT you would definitely not want to put her to a too sharp stallion) - and he is utterly wonderful! He was a bit of a thug in his first weeks, but firmly handled has grown into the most easy, affectionate, trainable little (14hh at 6 months!!) guy, and we are all totally in love with him. He has the most gorgeous paces, and a fantastic length of stride. Very thrilled with him, and yes you're right, maybe we should use Caretino Glory again!!
 
a friend of mine has 2by dj, one is prob the most talented of his offspring but they bothe have inherited an awkward streak to them both, could be coincidence but they are out of two v.different mares, and they are v.slow maturers

however it is what you want to breed, that is the question,
 
My friend has a rising 5yo mare, and she just screams 'superstar' at u! Shes bred to sj, but is only very little, so am trying to steal her for eventing, though she would excel dressage, just floats!!! Thankfully owner won't breed from an unproven mare, which is great, seeing as her dam line is so good as well!!
ps. ur boys gotta make at least 16.2, otherwise I'll just look silly on top

Out of interest, how does the awkward streak manifest itself, I looked at him this year for my mare but wasnt 100% sure, having read this was prob a good move as she is v.sharp!
 
hasnt devils jump gotta a smart son standing at the same stud? by devils jump out of a dallas mare -i think- cant remember his name though!
 
Yeah, he has a chesnut son, can't remember name either, saw him and looked like a handful!!!! Very much showing of, but not my cup of tea either!!!
 
I have got a 4yr old chestnut mare by Devils Jump who has been the easiest to start and back I have ever known. She is an absolute dope, loves nothing more than human cuddles, often gives leads to older horses, does gates and is the most willing horse to train I have ever ridden. Her full brother is an advanced eventer who has been on the Italian event team. I think its too easy to blame some temperament issues with the stallion
 
Ive used him and have a lovely 3 and half year old filly, with the best temprement and attitude. She was backed last year and took two weeks. She is increadably laid back but has it all looks, conformation and manners. Ive met the main man himself and he is not only delicious but seemed very ameanable...he got down for a roll and started eating grass:-)

I would def reccomend him and I will try and get a pic of my lady for you to see, she is quite like him and FLOATS
 
I have a 8 month old colt by Devils Jump out of a Ramexico mare. He got through to the British Futurity final last summer. His marks for dressage were 8.80 and eventing 8.80.

He was also placed 8th for sports horse class at the National Hunt Supreme Championship at Addingotn 08


In the right hands he will go far just like his full brother Pink Profile who done very well at Gatcome last year, amongst doing well at other major events.
 
hi every one just you let you no we have a youngester by devils jump we had him 4 years now he is great a bit quickey he 17 -3 hounda darkbay with stare his name is baracalas blue angle and he training for dressage he really something to see he stands ohe is loiveing kind and loves working we dont regreat haveing him he came from amander in devon any one no ware deviljump stands :)
 
I have a 6 year old out of Devils Jump and she is the nicest horse I have ever owned and proving to be very talented. She is very straightforwards but does get a bit sharp when it comes to jumping but is super careful. She shares the same Dam as Uptons Deli Circus so I suppose her ability could come from either side of the family tree but I would always looks at a DJ youngster after owning this mare :)

Thanks :) I have seen a few out eventing and all seem to be pretty talented some I saw out eventing this season at 2* and jumping clear! Mine doesnt like turning left so maybe that is one his quirks!! Mine was a little bit slow to pick things up when we backed her but taking our time has paid off. I'd love to see a picture if you can post one :)
