MASTER IMP

[lillie07]

Can anyone help me with a description of him.... Dont need to know his breeding etc as I have all that- just cant find the basics like height, colour, his age now?! I know/ have seen/ ridden (lol and own one) a lot of his offspring all very similar in type/ characteristics but would love to know about the man himself. A picture would be fantastic if anybody has one/ can source one.

Ive seen him - he's pretty and quite 'substantial@ - he has a 'white' eye (ie looks like a cateract) - no idea why but as he is still ISH registered I assume it was as a result of an injury and not congenital.
Anyway - he was in the stable when I saw him - he is bay and stands at Slyguff stud near Kilkenny - same stud as King of Daimonds stood at.
Won't his info on the ISH website help?
I like his stock but IMO they are quite 'heavy' on the forehand although he is a TB. Maybe the dams were to blame. Anyway he has produced several for the show ring.

he is about 17hh - very plain and has masses of bone. he is dark bay and certinaly isnt as flashy as his offspring. he has had some fantastic show jumping offspring and certinaly has had a lot of show ring winners too. he is still standing at Slyguff stud. U r lucky having one- i always wanted one. I rode one for a girl before and he was amaizng tho! Kings master is also standing at slyguff stud and is a stallion son of his

Its a terrible picture of me and doesnt really do him much justice either but just thought I would show him off. LOL they say that Master Imps ofspring tend to be incredibly talented and very quirky and he is definately both of those. We have just turned him away for a few months to grow up and mature into himself as he wont stop growing!!

His eye is the result of a well meaning punter waving things in his face for a pretty photo. Apparently he jumped back and damaged it.

OHHHH he is lovely! good conformation for sure!! does he move well then - i tkae it he does?

yes totally- they can be very quirky but can certianly jump! i always wanted one but there arent too many about any more. Kings master seems to be prodcuign a good few good ones too now.

He moves beautifully, I am stuck really with what to do with him- as I brought him to eventually event as he has a fantastic jump and is as bold and honest as they come but he also moves very well and would dressage/ show. He is also very promising over coloured fences but he is only a baby and time will tell!! He is living out at the moment to give him a chance to mature but is hating it so we are busy having a re-think. I cant wait to have him back and start working him again. Lol sorry for the ramble.....

 

[lillie07]

Mmm I really like Kings Master too and his youngsters are just starting to make a name for him

He looks fab - and he's grey! All the Master Imps I have seen have been bay!
