Dressage Stallion for 3/4 TB Mare??

[Oscar]

Just pondering on breeding from my 16.1hh 3/4 TB x Danish WB mare. I would like to produce a foal purely for dressage.

She has a lovely temprement, but can be hot to ride, so the stallion needs to have good rideability/trainability! Also I would like something that adds a bit more height, so foal to mature 16.2+

Her confirmation is very good,she has a good walk, but her trot is average with no lift in it.

She is bright bay, but I'm not fussed on colour, well dont want a grey!!

I dont intend to sell the foal, but would like a good stallion if the need arose! I like the lookof Damon Hill but he is too small, and Desperados is stunning.

If you want British based I couldn't rate Millenium higher on all the counts that you list as he himself has an amazing temperament and also tends to throw decently sized foals. I have also yet to see a grey by him out of whatever mare. Every foal I have seen by him has inherited his incredibly elastic movement and suspension.....if you watch the horse move...even at his age now, you will see that he has an amazing trot and his owner has been known to say she has often got 'stuck' in piaffe as he loves it sooo much.

Thanks, he looks interesting.

Johnson (Jazz x Flemmingh) - I have a home bred 2 1/2yr old by him out of my own dressage mare who is cob x tb with a flat trot. 2yr old has an amazing trot which is what i had wanted to improve from my mare and is naturally balanced and very easy to do anything with. Mare is very easy though and not hot in anyway. He is currently 16'1 and the same size as my mare already!

My mare is now in foal again to Vince who belongs to SAMGirl on here, he is Gribaldi x Hofnar.

Personally though...no aspirations against your own by him Tempi...if the mare is prone to being hot, I would be wary of the Jazz lines which is known to be 'hot' and whilst you may have produced one that isn't, that isn't to say the chance of a 'throwback' is not still there.

I had a lovely youngster out of a TB mare by Donnersohn - real little athlete.

I would recommend Catherston Springsteen. I have a lovely yearling and another one on the way (hopefully) from my 3/4tb 1/4 id mare. His temperament is so laid back and paces are good and I was told this should be passed on and it certainly has. My yearling looks like he is going to be 16.2hh, my mare is 16hh.

valeur r is a horse to have a look at. really good temp and has produced a super filly out of a tb mare this year.

Donnersohn is too small and I'd worry I wouldnt get the height.

Jazz is a live wire I hear and this passes on in his progeny, had a look at Wolkenderry, he looks a nice lad?

You dont say what the mares breeding is & with no photo difficult to know really, but for temperment & good hind action Cendy is worth looking at. I saw him as a 3yo & he was so chilled & had good active movement, he himself though is only 16.1. He is also too young to have enough offspring to judge him by.

Adonnis by Gribaldi is 16.3hh so def tall enough and is a very smart boy

I have a super 1st premium filly by him

Both Wolkenderry and Adonnis have lovely temperaments themselves and are lovely boys and their first crops are more than testaments to them but that depends on whether you want something with a bit more proven progeny or not?

my boy is mentioned in the post. I will PM you.

I have met Adonnis and also a couple of times, Wolkenderry. Both have fab laid back temps with excellent attitudes to work. However they are two different types of horse. It does depend on your mares conformation and what you wish for the end result.

Is this your mares first foal?

The top dressage stallion in the UK is Dimaggio 14 licensed stallions and record prices internationally for his progeny. A grey 3 yr old stallion by Dimaggio just sold for 200000 euros and a mare by Dimaggio 320000 euros. Look at his progeny competing in the UK.
