Glenhill Gold and Greenbank Harlequin

[tillyd]

Hi, does anyone have any experience of either of these stallions, esp temperament?
I would like to view both in the flesh so to speak, but Glenhill seems to be based in Ireland which is probably not going to be do-able. (unless i can convince OH of a romantic w/end in Ireland and not tell him about the horse part!)

I went to view Greenbank Harlequin with a view to using him on a mare of mine. Superb temperament and he has done well under saddle but didn't move well enough or have enough stallion presence for my taste

glenhill is in ireland, as he is based with becky and declan cullen in the north.
he is lovely! i really like him, and he has a fab temperment - he is kept at a competition yard so is ok to handle.
and he has a fab jump!
he is some piccys

also hes been getting some pretty good results - hes ready to move up to advance!

ah, thanks for the info. Is he quite well known in Ireland? No one I've spoken to here knows him! Declan is sending me a DVD of him. Also do you know anything about his dad (horse's not Declan's!) Saracen Hill? (TB)

On the Irsh horse board website you can find the details of saracen hills pedigree. Saracen hill was by step together as was Trish Donegans horse Don't step back who did well at both the olympics and badminton before being sold abroad. Glenhill gold has a lovely temperment from what I know.

thanks guys, i really like the look of him. He is bigger than I would have chosen, am a bit worried i will breed a giant (i like smaller ponios generally!) but can't have everything! There is a video clip of him on youtube if anyone wants to see.
