Having given up trying to breed anything to sell for the time being, I'm going to focus next year on breeding my own dream horse rather than someone else's! Any event stallions recommendations for something that would cross nicely to a dressage mare? The mare is an outstanding mover from a direct damline of International GP horses and has as good a jump as I've ever ridden in a dressage bred horse. She wouldn't be the boldest jumper though and can be a bit of a Sandro Sh*t stress head. Looking for something to improve the gallop, boldness and brain but without sacrificing the mare's movement, scope, soundness and good feet.
Not looking for something that will necessarily make me a 5* horse, but rather something that will get results up to Novice whilst still being able to not disgrace itself BD/BS over the winter. I've ridden some fab XC horses over the years but would be nice to have something with the dressage and jumping ability to at least give the chance of a rosette!
Stallions that standout to me at the moment
-Leprince de Bois
-Legrande
-Take It 2 The Limit
-Forinth
Wouldn't be averse to a pure SJ stallion if he can produce a good gallop.
The last three I believe are available natural covering which does appeal to me as I'm breeding something to keep and therefore would like to keep costs as low as possible! The mare isn't easy to get in foal and have ended up spending thousands on insemination fees most years ?
