No idea for a good stallion to use, but popped on to say I did my first one day event on a beautiful, old fashioned Anglo Arab and she was an absolute darling - she floated for the dressage, and then absolutely stormed the cross country and showjumping x
I remember getting off, giving her a massive cuddle (and feeding her about 1kg in polo mints and apples!), saying to her owner that she was an amazing horse and we need to make her immortal
She had a really long posh name that I can't for the life of me remember, but her stable name was Dreamer - she had the most beautiful palomino coat and she shone like a diamond after a good grooming session - I still remember the gasps of people as I rode past them.....x
My horse of a lifetime was an Anglo Arab,by a well known Arabian out of a tb mare. He would do anything for you. Even my much loved purebred Arabs,who were way more 'sensible' to ride,could replace him as my heart horse.
