I adore Hever Golf Ranger BUT think he might be too small as a HIS stallion as he is a show hack type and stands at just about 15.1hh (not 15.3hh) on a stick measurement. He stands at Pennway Stud - http://pennwaywelshponies.homestead.com/pennwayhomepage.html
Gunner is foreign and Arms And The Man is really stunning but not keen on covering. Trifolio is beautiful but far removed from POD and LDS - good luck it is tough, I am lucky that some NH sires do concessions for non TB's
Tiger is a STUNNING horse, in look and in personality and if it's size and scope you are after, then I would look no further!
Perhaps biasedly I am going to reiterate Kings Composer - it's worth contacting Angela, as she may have something up her sleeve....
Weld is not IMHO a TB of substance - a completely different type to POD and NS. He reminds me of Whistlejacket! I would put Delta Dancer and Trifolio in the same mould as Weld.
High Tension might be worth looking at, at Groomsbridge Stud.
I've been very impressed by the Classic offspring- he seems to stamp them really well.
Here is a list of all the TB jump stallions with pictures of each one- its a year old so not up to date. Where it says POA for stud fee it doesn't necessarily mean its ££ , some of these stallions are cheap! Anyway quite a few on there look really nice;-

Trifolio is not covering any more I dont think, but gosh have seen some nice stock by him.
I have a friend with a TB mare infoal to Jendali and he was very impressed by him when he went to see him.
If you dont mind shipping your mare to Wales, Woodlander stud have Set Adrift who really moves, cracking stamp of a horse - I dont know if she will take visiting mares but he's one of the nicest sporthorse types of TB.
Groomsbridge have a very nice stallion coming but he might be a little msaller than your looking for.
Chase the Ace is a bigger type and stands in Yorkshire with Jerome Harforth. Good moving horse and is graded withna few warmblood stud books as well
I posted about Jendali last year after visiting him. To confirm he does move well & has great feet. Below are some of the youngstock which bought about comments that they looked upright in their pasterns. I do like him & his temperment appears to be good as does his offspring. There was a nice Jumbo mare that had a good moving foal.

'Cundlegreen' Would be a good idea to have your facts right before you start producing incorrect info to people about stallions, it is after all someones livelihood. Revolution has 65 BE points and that is out of Intermediate points and into Advanced therefore it is more than acceptable that he is advertised as an Advanced eventer! He has also done very well considering he raced early on in his career and evented as well, probably hence why he is retired now. Have done lots of research into him and his offsprings and he certainly seems to be producing the goods for eventing. As for Sir Suave, I watched him at Richmond futurity and believe for a colt he behaved VERY well, correct me if im wrong but I dont think many 3yo colts would have behaved half as maturely and perform so well in the ring! Also think he a very attractive and talented horse for the future, I personally think he will become a popular TB stallion. I am certainly considering him for my own mare.
Also, like to add- Had a TB by Classic, very attractive but also very very quirky, strong and very careless jumper...although didnt know the mare so cant fully comment!
Putra Sandhurst up in staffsand also one i'm interested in "Mine"
One i would love to use is Striking Ambition but a bit pricey at 3k and not sure he would give a discount
weasel99 - sir suave definatly wasnt so well behaved in the collecting ring at Richmond- I know as we had a horse in the collecting ring at the same time and I know cundlegreen had her jumper pony there at the same time, so she is certainly right in that respect
O_B why did you have to post that link -GRAPE TREE RD is stunning but I know Shade Oak do not do any concessions for non TBs, but what a fab horse and with a foreleg like that he would never break down. Thats another line of lotto for me tomorrow then!
I think he's the most glorious TB stallion! I had a cracking TB mare by him to Raj this year - she had an IDx foal at foot. She had a fantastic back end and MOVED - and a super temperament to go with it all!

Had a mare in to foal and cover that was in foal to Grape Tree Road and foal was absolutely stunning.
Probably the worst mare of the three that came in and by far the best foal ,the other two were by Silver Patriach.
A horse who has some fab stock in Ireland is Primo Pagaent who stands with Billy Be Cool, very much the old HIS stamp of your original enquiry. Try this www.southernsporthorsecentre.co.uk

Primo Pageant is 2 mins up the road from us(we were at the stud for new years) he is a real nice chap, good confo and an amazing temp, moves well too, I just wanted to see if there are any younger stallions of a similar type that might be worth a look before I make my final choice. Here is a link to her breeding http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?z=ixjfha&d=shes+my+valentine
I will upload a pic soon
Oh my God I know her well. She was bred up the road by a really good friend - I saw her a bit as a youngster I take it you have all the contact details for her breeder but if not PM me.
