HIS type stallions

I saw Sir Suave at richmond too, and for me even with his out burst in the collecting ring (looked like a kid that had had too much chocolate or Coka cola, blimey dont they pick their moments to show you up!!!!!) He looks nice but he was not for me neither was any of the other ones or offspring that was there that day. Will sir suave be there this year or will he be going to Bramham. It will be nice to see how he is maturing though.

I quite fancy One More Tiger or Greenbank Harlequin although he is a little on the wee side ( an inch or two is everything you know!!LOL) , has anyone out there have anything by them ect ect
 
Well this is the mare in question(not the best pic sorry) she is 15.3hh and we are looking for a TB to add a bit more height and substance, she is a nice mare with a good straight movement, she has raced and been placed a couple of times she has also shown at county level and been to HOYS

If you look back through all the posts, there are pic's of two of Tiger's offspring already posted (by Baydale and Millitiger) and then there's my two year old who has been a bit of an ugly duckling since weaning but just coming into her own now -

Interesting to note the number of posts this topic has generated - seems as if a significant number (self included) still prefer the classic HIS type to the modern 'sports horse'

I have to admit to being bias towards decent TBs but this has been a very interesting thread and I agree with you, lovely that other people still appreciate them too.
 
A very nice TB stallion who produces good-sized and good looking athletic movers is Josr Algarhoud. Everything I have seen by him have been lovely looking and great walkers. He stands as a NH sire at Hedgeholme stud Co Durham. He is 16.3h

No doubt they don't breed them like they used to. 100% bring back the old school lets start a campaign! LOL!

Hmmmm well if you could see some of the 118 broodmares we have, you'd probably argue that some are not full TB!! Built like the proverbial out house, is an apt description for some of them. Naturally there are some that are smaller and finer. It seems to be the Danehill line mares that are whoppers! Some top 17hh and have REAL bone - the kind you'd LOVE to go hunting on! But then you realise who your looking at and what she and her family and progeny have achieved on the track and in the sales ring and what she cost herself and the value of the foal she is carrying and you stroke her and say "good girl" and step away before you break one of her hairs.
 
Very interesting thread for me as I have a Lord David S mare and a Queens Soldier mare. Can't offer any advice on stallions, I'll leave that to the far more experienced posters but I'm following with interest.

OK lets put a spin on this post. Who will be taking a colt with good confo forward to the sales soon??

Lol, I'm going with a friend who is taking a nice colt by Revoque to Doncaster at the end of the month! The dam is a nice sort, a winning hurdler and has produced an extremely nice Silver Patriarch filly last year that you could have taken a chance on if it had been a colt. I only saw him as a new foal and he had a good frame on him and walks for England apparently but whether he would be stallion material is another matter for better to decide!

There are two types of Danehill's. The smallish, quality muscular type and the others that can be enormous and tending towards being plain.

I am guessing that you aren't talking about Flat broodmares as I can see many studs wanting mares near to 17h. That's one reason why josr Algarhoud didn't mae it as a Flat sire.
 
Although some of our stock do go over sticks and fences at some point, that is not what they were bred for. We breed for flat racing only and I do agree about the 2 types of Danehills. It's also an exceptionally fertile line, whether mare or stallion.
 
Ok, What about this stallion?http://www.endhousestud.co.uk/stall...356&mggal=1&mgid=14&mgcmd=noslide. Ganton Beltaine. He may not have enough bone for you, but he comes from a very good mare line.I have his half sister here and she is the best moving TB mare I have ever seen.She is in foal to my "D" stallion. Another half brother Ganton Rufus is also by a "D", and he is a Grade A showjumper, although I don't know if he's produced anything of note. All I can say is that my mare is a real old fashioned TB that stands over a lot of ground and a lot of the family have done well eventing or hunting in Leicestershire.
 
Well I never knew that! Beltaine is out of the same mare as Rufus? I did wonder if there was a connection, but never looked into it. I used to work with and look after Rufus' sire, Derwen Red Marvel (or Conker to his friends). He was a superb little horse!
 
Yes, I've got Ganton Romola leased from Hilary who owned Conker. She again is out of Fair Splash by Chabrias.She had a foal by Conker a few years ago that is now standing at Heritage Coast Stud. I'm hoping my foal will be better! Romola's two year old colt by an Arab was recently Res Supreme Champ Hack in hand at the Show Horse Championships. (sorry we're getting off topic here !!)
 
The dam of my coloured mare Dee was a flat bred Thoroughbred - but looked like a warmblood, big powerhouse. Dee herself is a proper big stamp with super bone but still has that Tb quality.

Problem with finding stallions like this is they are invariably gelded to go chasing

This is toally correct ,we trawl the sales looking but invariably the jumping owners have more money than we have.
I have looked at hundreds and of the few you pick out hat are correct enough they fetch far too much money.
I even tried the yearling sales and only found two of the right type and conformation and boh fteched a huge price
