My mare is jet black, 17.1 by Flagmount King out of a Clover Hill/TB mare, and a reasonably chunky type. She came from a top jumping breeder in Ireland last year and is now 7. She had a foal there, and loose jumped as a 2 year old to a good enough level to be kept for breeding. We have broken her in and she is a saint with a very gentle temperament. She jumps too, as the dogs chased her so she just popped a 5 bar gate. I am sorely tempted to have one foal from her and I would want a lightweight, athletic type SJ stallion to complement her, and possibly reduce the height. I am thinking along the lines of Diarado types. She could take a sharper stallion due to her amazing temperament. Conformationally, I would want a stallion that was built uphill, but otherwise the mare is well put together with the traditional FK beautiful topline. I am looking for a commercial stallion, as if the offspring doesn't suit our family once under saddle, it needs to be saleable. Any thoughts? thanks
