I like the look of his stock. Would love to see a confo shot of him.
My only reservation is temperament. I have a wee bit of experience with this family and stock sired by stallions within the family and I wouldn't say they were for everyone, esp. the fillies.

When he was at Parkham Ash stud, before he was leased to Vauterhill, he was stabled in a mixed barn/shed, with mares opposite him. His temprament seemed fine to me. The fillies we have had by him sometimes show a bit of "attutude", but i would say are no different to any young TB filly. At the end of the day, if people are breeding TB's, for either racing or eventing, they should be able to manage a young horse and educate it.
I see he has a yearling in tomorrows Ascot sale, probably won't make a lot. If someone wants to gain 2 years on their breeding programme, might pick up a cheap horse.

Just had a look & have a query on another horse in the catalogue;
Lot 67 ) - VALENTINA GUEST (IRE) (2001) Bay Mare
Be My Guest (USA) Northern Dancer x What A Treat
Karamiyna (IRE) (1992) Shernazar x Karamita
I thought Be My Guest was born 1974, if so was he still covering in 2000 at the age of 25Yrs

Be my Guest was 30 when he died and its not that unusual for TB stallion to still be covering in there 20's so would be correct

Thank you for that 
That's good to hear.
This is true, however, as I am sure you know, TB's are not solely used for the above purpose. They are often used on native breeds and also on decent all rounders to produce the next generation. In stallions of any breed, temperament is paramount IMHO.

Mutazayid is well worth the trip to Devon. He is a very well bred horse with excellent conformation with plenty of bone and a superb temperment. I owned a full TB youngster sired by Mutazayid who had both a fabulous trainable temperment, good amount of bone and elastic athletic movement. I wouldn't hesitate to choose him as a sire for a sports horse or a race horse.

The youngster I had was very amenable and not remotely difficult to produce in any way. I would love to have youngsters as easy to produce as he was.

I have a filly from Mutazayid out of my 16.1hh pure American Saddlebred mare. He has the temperment to die for. His manners are impeccable. The filly I have is biddable, well behaved, with vet and farrier, a stunning looker. She stands at 16.2 hh and she's bay, rising 4. She should make 16.3 to 17hh when fully grown. She has already been bitted as a yearling, and saddle on at 2yrs, and lunged in them, not an ounce of trouble with any of it. Also have laid across her back on several occasions, and didn't bother her at all.

Just stumbled across this tread, I looked after and rode Mutazayid when he was in training, he came in to us having had a wind op but he was a huge horse and very backwards which is why he didn't race but he had the most amazing kind temperament and was a beautiful mover and fabulous to ride had he not had the wind op he would certainly have made a top class show horse

That’s really interesting - I had a mutazayid that I sold last year. The most amazing temperament. So so trainable, moved beautifully and had no shabby jump either. He evented to 2* but I did 2 wind ops on him and he still made a noise so was sold to a junior instead of pushing him further.
These wind issues really do seem to have a genetic link

It was always well known he had a wind issue.
nowadays it’s easy to check as it has to be declared so if a horse has raced it will be on there.
sadly there is a stallion standing at the moment that has been graded and if you look at its racing record it’s clear it’s had wind surgery but no mention of it anywhere.

Yeah I suppose if you were in the know, but the horse never raced. Looked more a show type. I’m not sure any horse should be graded with a known wind issue. I’ve seen enough horses manage just fine and do a good job, but I don’t think we should be advocating breeding from those genetics

No that’s right and it wouldn’t have shown on a racing record at that time.
the thing that bugs me about the relatively newly graded one is that it is on its racing record on racing post and should have been noticed when the grading panel checked out its performance record.
gelding and wind surgery has to be notified back to weatherbys these day.
