I am looking for a stallion for my mare and have a few in mind but would like to go and look at a good few before i make my mind up. I event so would like a stallion with an eventing record does anyone have any suggestions of stallions i can go and see? My mare doesnt have the best action so am thinking part WB at least prefereable with TB. But am open to ideas so all suggestions welcomed!
 
I would like to improve her paces she is part connemara so she is a bit kneey in her movement and would like something slightly bigger she is 15.2, otherwise she is great fo what i want

Thats why i would like TB or WB to put her too but its crazy how many are out there!
 
I'd heard Mill Law babies can be a bit ordinary looking, but maybe they improve with age as they're doing well in the show ring. I really liked Catherston Liberator when I saw him in the flesh and he's proven himself eventing, but don't know much about Dance in the Dark.

I used to compete More Pokey and he seems to bring quality to the mares (he was full TB). He had an amazing temperament, ultra laid back. You can get his frozen semen from West Kington Stud.
 
Des's Mill Law is quite plain but pretty, very correct but nothing says WOW! I've heard similar things from others who have used ML. The chessy mare always breeds the biggest foal but to ML she bred the smallest.

Ditto - very impressed!

I would second what was said about Mill Law yearlings etc being rather plain. Could you look into Windfall II, he's in America and my friend has just had some frozen semen flown over. He was in the Athens team and won Kentucky 4*. Can't get much better than that - almost lea the dressage at the Olympics. That would give you the paces you're looking for!

I didnt really want to go down the AI route and particularly not frozen semen as had heard that it doesnt have the best rates. But am only going on general chit chat havent done any research. How effective (cost & fertility) have people found it?
 
Any ideas where I can find some photos or details on special edition the link only gave his breeding history.

Am open to all suggetions have a list that keeps getting longer & longer by the minute

What about Take it 2 the Limit at Hartpury??. He is eventing with Jeanette Brakewell. I used him last year but sadly it didn't work out for me but hes lovely and doing very well.
 
Sally, thank you so much for posting these links!! I really enjoyed looking through those pictures!! Your boys just don't do bad pics do they and their offspring are just a joy to look at!! I've added one of them to my list, should I breed from B again! Can you guess which one?
 
Thanks for the link! How beautiful are those stallions? I had heard of Jumbo and come across some of his babies but thought he had finished standing at stud. Brief encounter is fabulous!
 
Godington Hannibal - competed at 4* level, has champions in most foal crops and has progeny out eventing. Adds quality and refinement, and has good paces including an excellent walk and canter. Fully approved for breeding Trakehner, SHBGB, AES - class one Elite performance tested.

This is one of his I bred in 2006:

There are nicer stallions then Dextre IMO & his offsprings records are not nearly as good as say Jumbo's. I did have a photo of Special Addition competiting, but seems to have gone along with the rest of the info after being eaten by the virus. Will see if it is on photobucket, Nickel King was responsible for some good eventing stock.
 
Thank you for posting that link! Your foal is delightful!! What's the foals temperament like? That's a reasonable stud fee too! Hmmmm tempting...... I don't think I'm ever going to ride B - just too many gorgeous stallions out there!
 
Another who has his 1st crop out competiting in dressage, SJ & Eventing;

Up with the Lark was one that was suggested to me
Others out Eventing though not sure about their offspring (If Jumbo complimented the mare, I would be tempted to use him, though he is only available via AI now)
