Favourite Stallion?

[Irishlife]

See BRACE YOURSELVES knew that was coming. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I thought the topic was favourite STALLION in the singular - not my favourite 26!!

Its ok C - just pulling your tail

I am so flumoxed by the question I don't know where to begin. I suspect my list may be a bit Conor-ish.

I will put Galoubet out there for now whilst I am mulling over my top ten or twenty five.

 

[Simsar]

LOL! I knew it was coming. You do make me smile Con.

 

[Eothain]

Well originally, it was like name your favourite stallion, but everybody else started listings, so I said I'd follow suit. I figured no one would want an essay as to why Cruising rules the Universe!

I must say, there's some epic horses in there!

 

[Simsar]

C, are you not jumping today?

 

[nullarbor]

I really like the young event stallion 'Wish upon a star'

 

[Springs]

Mine are:

Springfield Symphony! Must be he is ours!
Jumbo
Heartbreaker
kings Composer
Burgraaf
Primitive proposal
Criminal Law

 

[KarynK]

On My Current mares if I win the lottery

Smart Little Lena

Has a super attitude, conformation, brains and ability with a proven sire record and ties in pedigree wise as well, but at a Private Treaty fee ah well!!!

Storm Cat (my back up!!!!)

At $20,000 he might be cheaper than Lena! Compact horse with good muscle that would compliment the girls and give me something to brag about that most English horse people would be impressed with!!!!!!

A Nice US bred TB mare to put to this lovely fellow Bernardini A Darley America Stallion

And after a visit to the Darley Stud in Newmarket several of the Boys there as well, maybe one day!!!!!

 

[carmenlucy123]

ok my fav's are

Wolkenderry...... just the most picture perfect pony I'v ever seen

Glenhill gold is very beautiful and I think is going to be a big eventing stallion

One more Tiger as he looks gorgeous and has a lovely temperament

and of course The Humerist as he has a fab temperament and everyone Iv spoke to loves thier foalies- and hopefully I will have one next year my mare is scanned tomorrow !

 

[Adina]

Well now for something completely different!
For breeding purebred CBs favourite is Southbrook Spellbound. But to breed a partbred would have to be Weston Justice - who knows, might get around to it someday.

 

[gadetra]

1. Guidam. For everything an anything. It's such a pity he's gone. His son Luidam is a good substitute.
2. Colourfield for eventing. As he's gone too I suppose Hand In Glove (damn he's gone too!), or Jaguar Mail his son.
3. For the ultimate bread and butter type Coevers Diamond Boy-he really stamps his stock an they're well put together an intellegent.
4. Grange Bouncer for breeding a deadly hunter!!

 

[gadetra]

Also forgot to add Senang Hati-think he's gonna be a biggie in the eventing stakes yet!

 

[clare_gg_k9]

Mine are:

Springfield Symphony! Must be he is ours!
Jumbo
Heartbreaker
kings Composer
Burgraaf
Primitive proposal
Criminal Law

I agree, Primitive Proposal, stunning movement, stunning horse, fantastic personality! Also his half brother Primitive Star, same reason as Proposal.

And Canworthy Monsun if he was still alive, but sadly departed, grand prix dressage and grade A showjumping, not something you see together often, and a true gent and a very big heart.

 

[Flyingbuck]

Deceased - Rubinstein
Current - Floriscount.

 

[Tempi]

Mine are dressage as i dont know much about any other stallions - so would have to be Flemmingh, Jazz and Gribaldi. Already have a Johnson (Jazz x Flemmingh) 2yr old, so thats two down (sort of) and watch this space for the other

 

[huntsman30]

mine has to be the deceased DALLAS and ADVISE.
DALLAS i have a lot to do with youngsters by him, and ADVISE looked into putting our middleweight hunter mare to him and would have had a cracking foal, seeing his offspring he certainly gave them the temperament and shape.

 

[Pacey]

Back in the day, Java Tiger

 

[magic104]

never heard of jumbo before what has he or his progeny done

By ID Skippy ex Betty by TB Seven Bells he is the sire of Headley Britannia, Headley Kingdom, Avebury but to name a few of his eventing offspring along with a number of stallion sons. I met him at his grading with the WB society & he stood local to us, he had one of the best temperments, & just was & is one of my favs. I bet your going to ask who is Headley Britannia now!

 

[rebel mountain]

well

Back in the day, Java Tiger

Thats what you call a fabulous photo!

 

[aregona]

I was lucky enough to ride a Mare by Java Tiger for a short term last year and i have to say she had a huge heart and fantastic attitude. I would like to breed from my CB x TB in a year or so when she has finished eventing and as i would like a bit more TB it will certainly be One more Tiger for her.

 

[Enfys]

Right now, this moment, that would be the little palomino horse in the paddock outside my window (Dashbardee Jet AQHA) not the most fashionable breeding but for producing a correct, right-minded sport/cow horse he is doing the job very nicely.

Then there is a rather nice cremello Tb just down the road (that would be Guaranteed Gold)

 

[Pacey]

I have a mare by Java Tiger - unfortunately she went mildly lame at 9yrs old and never came right :-(

Lovely mare though, real substance. Joanna McInnes who bred Jave Tiger took her back to breed from, but unfortunately she didn't take...

She's one problem after another, but she's worth it!

What was that mare's name, just out of interest?

 

[newlook]

Iroko = Keur Awarded stallion. Has already bred numerous International showjumpers, and Wordl Cup Dressage horses. All show standard. Beautiful stallion.

Spartacus - Standing In Nijhof, son of Stakkato.. A machine.

 

[aregona]

What was that mare's name, just out of interest?

She was my friends horse she bought to event called willow (wickenhall willow, or something along those lines) she very sadly died 6 weeks after she bought her, super mare though. I do anything to have her back

 

[guccigivi2001]

clover hill, shaab, cruising & jumbo

 

[Totty]

I think it would be Galoubet for me. He has produced some wonderful offspring.

 

[Doncella]

Just to be infuriatingly retro:
Welton Louis
Storth House Temptation

 

[DRSsporthorses]

This really isn't a cut and dry question as I like different stallions for different reasons, but I have to agree that Galoubet tops the list...jaw dropping talent that became a phenomenal sire. Pretty much the one that I will never forget.

A few others (though the list is longer than posted here...):
Le Tot de Semilly
Voltaire (and a number of his progeny)
Kraque Boom Bois Margot
Cicero van Paemel
Carthago Z
Numero Uno
Darco, and son Parco
Chacco Blue
Indoctro
Cardento

 

[cocktail]

Would have to be ones that really stamp their stock!

Vivaldi
Sir Donnerhall

although ones that stamp their stock that I wouldnt have

Jazz
Sandro Hit
