Who are your favorite Irish Sport Horse stallions for breeding future upper level event prospects? Semen should still be available on the market for purchase. Thanks!
Puissance. Top non-retired ISH stallion available at stud. Ranked #9 in the WBFSH sire rankings for 2012.
Alternatively, Irish based warmblood stallion Ricardo Z is the #4 on the WBFSH list with only Heraldik, Cruising and Master Imp ahead of him and they're no longer available.
Seen lots of his progeny and don't like their temperment, anyway he's not IrishI like VDL Arkansas bloodlines but not seen any stock by him.
Luci07. Unfortunately French Buffett has passed away.
Sire of Ballynoe Castle RM.A lot of people talk highly of Ramiro B. ?
Ricardo Z in not rated by alot of people in Ireland, but I have seen a lot I like by him and the results seem to speak for themselves. ?
What are your views on Chacoa, Lux Z, Cruise on, Silvano, Ars Vivendi & VDL Cancun?
.
Havent seen any young horses by French Buffet that really jump

Im hoping I have one, he's only 2 but showing a nice shape so far - time will tell & in the meantime I can dream . FB has only had foals on the ground in Ireland since 2007, again time will tell but if he was still around I would use him based on our 2 year old and a few others I have seen.
OBOS Quality stock can be a touch downhill from time to time but have you seen what they do when you ask them to get up in the air?
Ars Vivendi.
Quite excited to see what his effect on the ISH population is. I really like him but have seen some smaller horses by him and think that he really needs a tall, leggy blood horse. It's worked with H&M Actrice and Aktion Pur Z. He's too heavy set to deal with mares with loads of Draught breeding.
