is it to early......

[lilym]

to start looking at stallions for covering a mare in 2008?? thinking of breeding from the coblet, the foal would be my project, as i have always wanted to breed on of my own, before i get slated and jumped on.... YES i do know i could buy something cheaper, i know there are risks attached, but my mare has good confo, and a good temp, and this is the one i wish to breed from, unlike the mares i have had in the past, one had less than desirable confo, and one was a bloody evil baggage!!
i am looking for a good coloured stally pref homozgous, traditional type with pleny of bone max 15.1hh, min 14hh, good mover and a nice front with a quality head....(not fussy am i??

) mare is 14hh roan coblet with 9" bone.

Swabbing will be a waste of money if you are looking at 2008.
