Famous stallions' quirks

Thanks Tinks81, he was indeed and Charlotte had my boy's mum too, and also his half beother's mum I believe :) She sold him about 4 or 5 years ago and I'm not sure what happened after that - when BS records are actually free I might try and trace him through that!

BS records are free now, just been on there looking at some :)
 
Not famous in any way but at the college I went to they had 2 fell stallions, if you made a smacking/chiruping noise (like donkey in shrek on the journey) one (Nim) would twitch and the other (Tony) didn't react. You could tell which short, hairy, black babies where whose because all the Nim babies twitched if you chiruped and the Tony ones didn't.

I worked with some Creevagh Camiro babies and all the ones I met gave you the same slightly haughty down-the-nose look even as foals and all the Creevagh Ferro babies had the same kind of flirty, eyelashy way of looking at you. When I met the stallions I recognised each of them straight off because they had the same 'expressions' that their babies gave.

Fabulous Thread
Euphemisms - they were typically the worst and would send you running for the hills.
Cavaliers - I have known a lot and to be honest they were all quite different. One I know is in a riding school!
Lux Z's - like Cavalier a mix. Some right nutters but he has covered a huge amount of mares
Olympic Lux - The one I know was lovely and jumped like hell plus had exceptional movement.
Concordes - 2 I have known are careful as hell.
Calvados - Big and brave jumping but would walk straight through you. Very difficult to put manners on them.
Cruisings - Very intelligent and if they get bored they get tricky. Mare I have is lovely but a worrier.
Big Sink Hope - Painful. Spooky buggers
Ghareebs - Saints
Harlequins - Lovely horses
Obos Quality - Again Lovely
Guidams - Cold as ice (mine anyway)
 
What a great thread :) Ive got a mare out of not very well known stallion called Omar who is by oberon?? I met the stallion and he was a total BFG amazing temp and seems to have definately passed this on to my mare but did hear Oberon could produce some very quirky to say the least youngsters.. any thoughts?? and anyone with anything By Omar. Just to say i think there is 2 Stallions called Omar one arab but this one is dutch warmblood?? Hope thats correct??

:) xx
 
Any experience with Cult Hero's and Ghareebs?

I have a new one of this cross,( sire Cult hero, damsire Ghareeb) early days yet but he seems very much like a complete good little schoolboy, very goody two shoes, obedient and sensible!

Ghareebs are absolute saints :) gorgeous easy horses.
Although not spectacular looking..more workmanlike.

That seems to be exactly what mine is like- He's also very plain and workmanlike looking but very correct &well put together! I'm not used to having such a plain jane but he is lovely!
 
sums my luso mare up to be honest - she can be a little thick but equally but her over some x country fences etc and she is very clever,very sensitive in the rein contact -very odd animal
 
Hi All! Another late comer! I can offer some input on the TB stallions....
Kris - generally the fillies are fairly stressy and sharp.
Erhaab - can be thick winded - another I wouldn't touch due to wind is Dayjur.
Tobougg - I actually broke him in! He was the most insecure horse I've ever come across but very sweet and a super ride. He didn't winter in Dubai as you couldn't get him out of his stable and they didn't think it was worth trying to fly him over.
Danehill - worked with a load of these in S.Hemisphere... Strong, butty and bloody good racehorses. The ones in the N.Hemisphere tend to be lighter but again very good racehorses.
Danehill Dancer - Similar to the above!
 
Sorry to hijack thread, but has anyone had experience of Samber offspring. I've already posted that we have one of his grand-daughters, by Hercorose. Our mare is the spitting image of Samber, and he seems to be well known, but apart from her half brother, I havent come across too many myself. Our little mare has his colouring, prescence, paces and is just a lovely little person - the perfect teenagers event horse. Just wondered about others if anyone has had any experience of his offspring.

Facinating about Tobougg, we have a gelding by him and he is the most cocky, sure of himself TB I have ever come across :)

Any knowledge on Polish Precedent? :)

I love Polish Precendent Colts! I used to ride a lot of them - very cocky, sweet and great temperaments which is strange as Rakti was incredibly difficult. I quarantined Pilsudski and he was a complete gent.

What is your Tobougg's dam sire?
 
Another late comer. From my experience:
It's the Business - Fab!!! Unbelievable jump, but sharp. I have had the pleasure to ride 4 and they were all very similar. I got mine as an unbroken 4yo when I was 17 and I did everything myself. He was sharp, but the most genuine horse ever. He went onto compete up to 1m50 despites only being 15.1
They tend to be small and short and also all 4 had "normal" hair at the top of their tails, think first role of a tail bandage length

Demonstrator - Grumpy Biters we had 3

Any one know anything about Vamiro? My new girl is so sweet on the ground and generally lovely to ride, but with a whopping buck!
 
Pilot / Epilot difficult sensitive horses, you need the patience of a saint

I have a indoctro baby at the moment and it's fair to say I'm struggling with him. Superb big jump though :-)
 
I've come across one Accondy gelding - and he was a horrid beast!! Very nice to look at and nice , talented under saddle- but he'd lunge at you, bite, pull faces, etc etc. One of those horse you just growl back at an try to avoid working with ; )
 
What a great thread! Fascinating. Totally jumping on the band wagon but can anyone tell me anything about Golden River offspring? I have one and he is a touch...erm...unique so would love to hear about others.

I had a lovely Samber horse. Fabulous paces, particularly his walk. He was quite sensitive and could be tense but had a fairly rushed start to his ridden life (imported unbroken and jumping in foxhunters within months!!) so that didn't help. He was very kind and trainable with great presence and very competitive.

OMG really ?????????? The one i owned was extremely sharp but was soooooo careful and turned out a superstar!! i know 2 others who are both like my boy was and never heard of them being saints !!!! x

My Elmshorn was called Moose as when he put his head over the stable door he was so quiet it looked like a stuffed moose head. He was an angel but the opposite of sharp. You could put a toddler on him.

On the other hand my Sheraton horse is out of an Elmshorn mare, and he is the anti-Moose. You wouldn't want to give him more than a couple of days without work!

Omar was pts a couple of years ago now. I don't know about Oberon's temperament.
 
Another latecomer:

The only Euphemism I ever met was a filly who was so easy to break the worst she ever did was squeal and shake her head - though she did seem a little dim and took quite a while to figure out poles.

Chairlift mare (sire of Abbervail Dream) - absolute lady. not particularly affectionate but ground manners to burn. sensitive ride but not naughty - listens to the rider (in my case to her detriment :))

Ginger Dick (ID sire of Flash La Silla) gelding - cheeky monkey, safe as houses, can put your grannie on him but will give his all in competition, but will fight back if you really annoy him.

Dexter's Puzzle - 3 homebred by him, colts complete dotes, filly a bit more stressy. Boys kept their gentlemanly behaviour into adulthood and breaking and were gentlemen with mares also (but then their mother (Chairlift mare) was a lady.

Ah, you'vemet my KoD 5 year old then, he is starting to be a little saint rising 6 so I live in hope.

His dad (Old Leighlin) isn't famous but seems to have offspring who are very alike. Love to work, can be really scopy, but a bit eccentric/opinionated - don't like clippers/farrier/leaves etc. I know 3, all the same.

Interesting post!-Ha ha my boy has KOD in his breeding- have had him since he was 4, he's 16 now- as others have said- v quirky, opinionated, a real character but very very talented and v clever- would be lethal in the wrong hands and would take the mick something rotten if he could! makes me laugh loads though- love him to bits!, other boy has Limmerick in his breeding- sharp, clever and talented and and a bit gorgeous though! but i'm not biased!.
 
this thread is brilliant!! someone asked about cape cross, i've only known one filly from him and she was the most docile creature i've ever met, not quite sure how good she will be on the track mind!

anyone have any information on lordanos?
