There is a mare at our yard by him, very nice and got very decent scores at the kwpn gradings last year. She is very sweet and easy to do in all ways.

we had a horse by him he was the loviliest horse EVER, lovely to train, lovely to handle, perfect to break, just PERFECT!! we qualified him for the Badminton Potential Dressage Horse fINALS and did really well in Working Hunters, SJ etc. if i had the chance to ever have another horse by French Buffet i would jump at it

I was told recently that he had been put on the "watch list" for the KWPN, no idea why though? He is based in Kylemore Stud, Co. Galway, Ireland. They have a website.

Why has he been dropped by VDL (huge and very successful marketing machine) and sent to Ireland.....................................?

For the same reason that some of the French stallions are coming to the UK I have no doubt
and for the same reason that many stallions are placed stategically in different locations.
French Buffet has produced a good number of horses sold predominantly to the US for the equitation and hunter division. Can sire ground covering long reaching movers without the knee action that is required for dressage, and can produce jumpers that only really come into themselves over bigger fences.
French Buffet is not the most handsome of stallions and neither are his progeny. The hocks can be tightly tied and they can have issues with their feet. Fetlock joints can be noted to rotate outwardly. He does throw good rectangular models, long legs and long necks of height.
Personally I think its understandable why Ireland would be a good place for him to stand, as he should cross well with stronger heavier framed Irish mares for both the hunter and jumper market.
When interviewed in 2002 regarding his thoughts on the use of the TB Weibke stated "it takes a very special TB for use in a WB breeding program, we need the blood of the TB but it is not the lack of ability that is lacking in the TB but the mind, to compete successfully at a high level, hence the reason we travelled half way around the world to purchase French Buffet"

Hello,
At the stable at home we have al young French Buffet Stallion. 4 year old. From a Kibrahim x Dolman mother.
It is a verry bloodtype and looks good for jumping, dressage or a really good eventing horse.
