Irish Draught Stallions Please!

CM251 what did you want to know about Beeston Lord Henry ? there is info on the ID web GB or ring Roz Chadwick. I can tell you my foal grew to 18hh he is now rising 6 so not mature and has 11 inches of bone, a true quality HW with a beautiful temp. I also saw a full sibling mare who was 16.2hh chestnut a lovely looking animal who was competing at dressage, this is the size i was hoping for but unfortunatly not. I have also seen 2 or 3 other horses by BLH none have been grey, mainly chestnut, he dosent have any king of diamonds as far as I can remember, he is Colman lines. When i went to see him Roz Chadwick told me she regularly hunted him.
 
Colman puts the size and fabulous movement in. I had an Embla George x Embla Daisy (Colman) a few years ago. He was a gentle giant at 18.1 and did well as a H/W show hunter and did a good test.
 
I have a son of Beeston Lord Henry, who is about 16.2 with nearly 10 inches of bone and a lovely mover and with a fabulous temperament (he is gray - well yellow most of the time !) Having looked up BLH's pedigree I can't see any KoD in his line. he does have Pride of Shaunlara on his dams side so there is some TB influence in there a few generations back (my boy looks very much like Pride).
 
What about Sandys Light standing at langaller. Liver chestnut, 10 inch of bone. Don't know if he has any king of diamonds but I've meet him and he has the most beautiful temperament.

I quite like Hillviewfarm Milligan. I may forego the 1/4 inch!! The two deceased that I REALLY like are Snowford Bellman and Ebony Hill. Does anyone have any info on them? Am I right in thinking there is a problem with the remaining frozen semen from Ebony Hill?

We have a coming 5 year old by Milligan and he was only broken back end of last year due to family commitments, he is proving very easy. He is ultra laid back but as he is Mum's 'retirement project' that's no bad thing. He is out of our fairly dainty TB mare and has definitely inherited Milligan's bone and beautiful movement. He is powerful, athletic and balanced.
My only criticism is he is chestnut and we wanted a bay filly!

What about Attwood Black Laughton also standing with Bowland Irish Draughts but he has frozen semen available.

17hh, black with 10" of bone.

I have fancied him for my own RID mare and as I wasn't wanting any KoD bloodlines, I am sure he fit that bill also.

I was just going to recommend this lovely boy - he is stood at Bowland too! I hve had the pleasure of meeting him, as I used to be a livery on their yard!

This is my girl, who is by Attwood Black Laughton.... (I know you're not a grey lover- but her dam was grey which probably explains it?)
