Favourite Stallion?

Silvermoon, proven at the highest level yet still massively underused. By the wonderful Kostolany and out of one of those mares that all breeders wish they owned.

Rhondeo. The more I see this stallion the more I like him. Superb mover, fantastic temperament and beautiful to look at.

Upton's Deli Circus. What a sweetie! I'd love to have a riding horse just like him.

Summersong: fantastic to watch XC

Welton Crackerjack: my favourite type and a proven producer

Just A Monarch: produced a lot of stars

Clinton: big, bold, scopy, talented and very pleased with himself!
 
mine has got to be the young staliion nemeroff ls. be is by cornet obolensky and is owned by lambridden stud out showjumping in holland under stal eurocommerce star of the future
 
balou du rouet because i love the one i've got. loved wildgraf's temprement, broadstone west country cos i liked him in my younger days but havent liked what i've seen by him. and for a wildcard...............my mom's a colonel
 
sticking to stallions that have not been dead for a million years, I like Baloubet du Rouet, Darco, Indoctro, Voltaire, Argentinus (and his son Arko), Burggraaf umm I think I could go on for some time so I shall leave it at that :)
 
Baloubet du Rouet lives near us. We sometimes go to the facility where he lives for competitions/lessons (we should be there this weekend too :)).

The first time we went there, I was indulging in some cuddling with a lovely big horse only to be told it was Baloubet, a famous stallion - I had no idea I was in the presence of horsey celebrity!!

He's lovely though, really cuddly and snuffly. Therefore, he has to go down as my favourite.
 
Of all time? Ben Rabba the beautiful Arab stallion

Also loved Fairlyn Gemini.

Weltmeyer has been incredibly influential

But right now if I had to choose a stallion to put Sunny to I'd probably choose Wish Upon a Star

And I'd choose Manitu for Shanti :D
 
It won't surprise you in the least that mine are British Bred!

I'm another here for Fairlyn Gemini, he has had some outstanding stock from all types of mares and was always a gentleman in a very long career.

One More Tiger (of course, some of you will say!) but having had the privilege of him being here for a covering season, not only is he a well built thoroughbred with size, substance and great movement which he's passing on to his stock; he is also one of the nicest horses to handle I've ever had the pleasure to be involved with and that counts for a lot as far as I'm concerned. I'd certainly like to use him again.

I'd be remiss if I didn't include an Irish Draught so of the ones I have first hand knowledge of, it has to be Maurice Miner. Very underestimated, due in some cases I think because his owners chose not to grade him but he's another producing good looking, honest stock from a variety of mares that are going out and proving themselves in all disciplines; I think he deserves far more respect than he usually receives; he does deliver the goods and I've put my money where my mouth is as my mare's just been covered by him!
 
Khairho.

So impressed by him & his manners (around a mare who was doing her level best to attract him whilst he was working) I bought his first available daughter & never regretted the decision.

Never heard of him? International pure bred arabian endurance stallion, bred in UK, winner of multiple 160km races, still came 3rd in a 160km race aged 19. Sound in body & mind, still alive now well into his mid/late 20's.
 
Some that I met in person, Creevagh Camiro and Creevagh Ferro both lovely stallions who really produce a 'look' I swear I could tell a Camiro bred still :).

I also loved Diamond Roller, a High Roller/Flagmount Diamond colt he was one of the nicest natured horses (gelding, mare or stallion) that I have ever met, young when I knew him and I have lost touch so don't know where he is now but I really liked him. Talented jumper, nice look and such a nice horse.

Maestro was going to say Western Justice after meeting him a few weeks a go, and missing out in Crims last year at stud as our mare didint catch. I am still working on other half to come round to my way of thinking and let our mare have another foal.
