Hi all,
I am a TOTAL newbie when it comes to breeding so would appreciate some advice/opinions on stallion choice for my mare.
Bit of a backstory....My mare is an 8yo ISH who has sadly suffered a suspensory injury (not caused by conformation we are told) Fingers crossed she will be right for next year but if she needs longer we would like to look into putting her in foal. Its something we have never done before in over 40 years of having horses but would like to at some point in our lives and as she is certainly worth breeding from (in my slightly biased opinion ) then spring may well be the time to do it although I am rather hoping we will get her right again and leave breeding for some time in the future!
Shes 16.1hh piebald mare by Cavalier Jump for Joy and other bloodlines include King of Diamonds, Cavalier Royale, Cor De La Bryere and going back further includes Nijinski and Foxhunter. It seems she has some rather impressive blood lines for what we thought was an irish ***** pony (no offence intended!) She has unbelieveable scope over a fence and is super brave - this girl lives for xc! Won and placed BE100 and was going novice before her injury. Bad points are: she is fairly heavy set and can on occasion let her gung ho irish side out but is generally calm. Here are a few shots:
So far I like the look of Jigilo, Grafenstolz, Royaldik, Wish Upon a Star and Future Illusion but would appreciate advice and opinions from those who know what they are talking about!
Thankyou!
