Glebe farm arabians have Saudee 16hh black arab stallion, might have others large enough of interest?
Their website doesnt work for me, but found vids on youtube of saudee….240p quality though. They have a FB page.
I know nothing of breeding but he looks fab. (Id want to check/get confirmed his height tho’, in one video with a gent he looked small compared to the guy, unless the guy is very tall! Are stud farms known to exaggerate height to attract breeders?)

I found out after I'd used him that the stallion I chose measured in at 15hh, not the 15.2hh that it stated on his stud card. He was an eventer who got nearly to advanced. It was a deliberate misrepresentation in order to attract more mares

Ah, i did wonder. That’s terrible, considering the work/cost goes into choosing a good pair and raising a foal.
I’d want to see a stick against Saudee before committing, as 16hh pure arabs are fairly rare.
LG - There was a lady advertising her pb black arab stallion for stud here in Ireland (limerick) locally, but the advert from 600days ago i saved is no longer live. Nice head on him, not the overly dished type…think he was 15.2hh. A quick google hasnt yielded much but maybe a deeper dig might.
This is the main pic from the advert header, on the off chance anyone knows her/him!

What earthly use to a breeder is a photo like this? I am presuming there are others that show what this stallion actually looks like.

Is it The Alchemist, from HR Stud?
The only other arab stud that I know of in Ireland would be Bordwin Farm, but that's in County Laois.

Yes, I'd have him on my list of possible sires if I were going to breed from Blossom, but I think LG is looking for something to add a bit of size?

Zygmunt is in Ireland and 15.3hh according to all breed. https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/zygmunt
He's a bay Polish bred arab.

I've not seen him in the flesh but have heard good things.
Maybe go to HOYS to watch the ridden arabs? They usually have some nice ridden stallions there. Silvern Prince and Adawy caught my eye but both smaller and grey.
Does anyone know how tall Patros Hb is?

That's where I came across Alonzo - he won the trophy for the highest rated stallion last year, and in 2019 too I think. The winner was a very smart grey gelding, Rafeekah, by a stallion called Designed, who is by Master Design. I think Designed might be in the Middle East, but Master Design has proven himself to be quite a handy sire and has some very nice progeny out there. I'm sure I read somewhere that he's been out with the local hunt himself! I've no idea if they still use him for breeding though, or how big he is, but he's one that would tempt me.

Yes Master Design is a cracker. He's a carrier for CA though I think? Ok if the mare tests negative, but you don't want a positive foal.

I like Zygmunt too, I think - difficult to find a conformation photo?
Master Design and Master Blaster are both smaller, if I recall correctly.
I’ll definitely look into Alonzo and Zygmunt.
@Meowy Catkin HOYS is a fantastic idea, I’d love to do that.

I love Master Design as well and a lot of his stock is lovely I would think he has hunted the Jones are known for taking there Arab's hunting, there is a lovely picture of Rod's wife on him in her weddings dress.

He doesn't match your requirements but I really like Mukhtar Ibn Eternity and would choose him if I wanted to breed an arab or arab type in the UK.

I think they moved to France with him a couple of years ago.
Sally Forster ( she is on here) from Groomsbridge Stud has a 7/8 tb called Icefyre. I think he is 16hh and apparently has a very sane temperament. Hope she doesn’t mind me putting a photo on here.

He doesn’t really compare in any way to Mim!
But Groomsbridge do have a really nice small tb, Mildenburger, or even a bigger one in Universal. Sally Foster might have a suggestion for you, even a stallion she doesn’t stand. She’s very helpful.

Another ridiculous photograph, why cannot people use professional photographs showing conformation on stallion cards?

One thing I will say is pure breds are not meant to be much over 15 hands really and although there are bigger ones being bred, I know of a few that have had nothing but soundness issues.
Louis is 15.3 and 17 now and his not without his problems his got navicular and hock arthritis his also injured a hind suspensory, so he has a fair bit going on but his relatively low mileage for his age and I am extremely careful with him.
In comparison to Arabi who is only just 15 hands and a year older his not got any major degenerative conditions really, he had a pedal bone fracture and was incredibly stiff after all the box rest but that is all fixable.

I haven't read the thread yet, just came via a mention in Tack Room. I want something by this stallion one day, he's lots of bloodlines the same as my old horse and I think he looks splendid!

ETA, haha, catching up, he's already popular! Good, he'll have lots of offspring by the time I'm after one.

My friend has a shagya mare. I think she was from Bolton, and was in a fire. Gorgeous mare and as tough and useful as you can get. I think where she came from was a stud but I've no idea if they're still operating.
