So ideally I would love a grey stallion for Sienna, though obviously I owuldn't dream of being influenced by anything as trivial as colour

Anyone heard of this boy:

He is rather gorgeous:

OMG, he is stunning!!! I went on to the website and it said they would consider selling him.....oh if only i had some space cash (well lots of it, lol).

I wish he wasn't so far away I'd love to use him on my WB.
 
70% of grey horses have a melanoma *somewhere* over the age of 10 years. Some of them live to ripe ages, but a significant proportion don't.

Do you really want to breed something with planned obsolescence when you could have just about any other colour and have a much, much lower risk?
 
He is gorgeous - though can't believe they are jumping him that big at only 3 1/2!!
 
Well, he is a stunning chap for sure

I'm less impressed with his jump though...not to say it isn't big, and extravagant, but just something about it i'm not so keen on. He just doesn't seem to use himself in quite the way i would like to see

With paces like those though, he could throw a nice dressage horse

*whistles* WOW - what a mind blowing jump - plus what an awesome trot! Would like to see more of his canter though - after all you're not supposed to be able to improve the canter!

Personally, I don't like the fact that he is doing all that at such a young age though.....

I just read that, but doesn't it mean it's won the grading at 3 1/2 not that it's still 3 1/2??

He's a 2003 model, so is only just 4, if at all actually 4 yet.
 
Just looked at the website and born in 2003 so yes just a baby.
Agree with SN would like to see canter and trot work not in slow motion.

Yeah I just found that site too. Gosh that does seem young to be doing that!!

Then again I have no idea what they have to be doing at 4 to be graded??

I *think* but don't quote me on this, as a 4yo they are judged around a 1m or 1.10m course

They were jumping around 1.35m / 1.40m in the video, but only a single fence so not the same

He's a lovely stamp of horse and if he were closer, I might put my aversion to warmbloods to one side and go and have a look at him.
He's too far away though. The absolutely most important attribute of Sienna's hubby has to be temperament (I'll be breaking it in when I'm 50!!) so I would want to go and see it, preferably twice. This boy is lovely but am a bit suspicious about why the trot work is all in slow motion, and at the end of the day he's not a TB - which is what I want.
