Has anyone got one? What are the like tempermant wise?
Im considering buying a youngster by him but unsure where to look? I know they still do frozen semen, and i do have a mare but i think i would be better off buying and not breeding.

Any opinions appreciated 😊
 
I remember him as a novice (yes, I'm that old!!)
He seemed to have a great temperament and all the offspring I've seen over the years appear to be nice natured jumpers. They usually aren't overly big (he was only about 16hh I think) but unless you're my height (5'11) it's not an issue!
I wouldn't bother to breed one but I would buy one related to him if I was looking - do just check that whatever you find is definitely 'by' him as he died a while ago and as nice as he was, I struggle to see why someone would risk older frozen semen when there are so many proven stallions to use these days (or maybe that's just my cynical mind...)!
 
I had a fabulous horse by It's the business. He was small just 15.2 but he made up for it in heart. His temperament was amazing and he was so much fun. A real rubber ball type. His jump was great and he loved it. He jumped up to 1.30m with an amateur, before a field injury ended his career. I know someone who had one that was a pony and they loved him too. Neither had the biggest movement for dressage but were out and out jumpers. They were on the sharp side but in a good way.
