Myerscough Stallion Parade Last Night

[luckilotti]

Last night hubby and I went to Myerscoughs stallion parade, did anyone else go?

I know TayloredEquestion was there with their boy.

It was a really good turnout, there were not enough seats and many had to stand in the doorways. It was freezing but it was -1 at 4pm yesterday so any horsey place would have been cold.

The commentary was great, crystal clear and very informative.

The stallion broucher, mostly fab – each horse had an A4 page but some stallion owners had missed out key info such as contact details…. Stud fee…. Height…..but I guess that’s down to the stallions owner. Some of the photos didn’t do the horse any justice at all.

The running order was non existent which made finding the info on them quite a chore and sadly, quite a few of the stallions were not there, mainly the ones I wanted to see also!

There were some ‘dual-purpose’ stallions there who only were presented on the flat, yes there was photos of the jumping however I would have liked to have seen them pop a fence infront of us.

But, there was a great mixture of jumping, dressage, show pony, coloured stallions all under one roof.

I’m now also seriously considering 2 for my KWPN mare who I had not considered before, I have also been able to cross a couple off my short list.

So all in all, it was a good night out

Do you have a list of which stallions went? I know someone who wanted to go last night but there was no list beforehand and so she never went.

 

[TayloredEq]

I went, as you know, and shouldn't have gone.

My boy had already had a very busy week and it was just too much for him. He was pooped!!

I would however certainly consider going again next year as there was a very good turnout and I felt it was value for money.

It was really nice to see your boy in the flesh

i know when i saw you in the catalogue i pointed out to hubby that you were from here, and that you had been deliberating which photos to use of him this year etc. i like the ones you chose.

i know when you were in quite a few more people were arriving. IMO it didnt help any of the owners at the start that they were of a similar height, chestnuts etc.
it also didnt help that later on there was a run of coloureds! apart from a few, i lost track of who was who - only little trip to the cafe or toilet and i was lost lol!
But i know for whatever reason they didnt keep to the running order so i guess that couldnt be helped.

Quite a few of the horses ended up having a 'moment' and one rider looked soooo embarrased

when his horse refused the jump.

Lots of coloureds then! Were all the stallions graded?

 

[Faberge]

What was Sir Frederic like?

 

[puc]

I didn't realise it was on!!??!!!

 

[JaxMath]

Hi, I know what you mean.... I was thinking of taking my boy too, but it was just to soon after the Expo (mine is still pooped!)

I am sure they will all recover very soon.... are you going to Hartpury in March?

 

[FanyDuChamp]

Mooiman was there he went on first, absolutely gorgeous. Also Sir Frederick and Temple Akropolis were fantastic. Ontario was impressive. But I fell in love with 2 Captain Pugwash and Bombay Royal Prince

Don't think the Springshill's horses were there, certainly I never saw them. Well worth the trip down from Cumbria, but damn it was cold!

 

[amandaco2]

ohh did anyone get any pics?

 

[charliesarmy]

I went last night thoroughly enjoyed it but as the others have said "Brass monkeys" The way they came in though was a disaster no running order at all which took alot of thumbing through the catalogue...especially when the had a run of coloured's...But a really nice evening with some very well mannered and turned out stallions...my main reason for going was to see Sirens Missile but non of the End House Boys were there

(waggon trouble I beleive) my next one to see Vince was also absent so then Sir Frederic who was stunning and he knew it

also liked Valeur R but due to lighting couldnt figure if he was a Bay or Liver Chestnut

If Tayloredequestrian could let me know I said LC friend said Dk Bay

it also wasnt on his description

Also Mooiman looked stunning *and I don't really do Chestnuts

just my opinion

* the other one I went to see appeared to have quite a severe dish on one leg

which was a bit frustrating..Captain Pugwash III got the biggest ovation and desevedly so he is amazing and can pop a jump lovely and enjoys it *I salute his owner getting through his feathers/main/tail they must take so much looking after* Temple Akropolis was also a nice show jumping animal who couls jump for fun and did jump effortlesly although it did put a stop in you cou could feel his embarrasment but IMHO twas rider error it had been whacked up and he didnt ride strongly to it

there were some absolutly gorgeous PBA Ponies there who's names evade me and they were so pretty especially loved watching them off the lead Weeeeeeeeeee Whooooop Weeee..Sorry if anyone reading who took there boys and I havent mentioned them they were all lovely and immaculate and well behaved...makes me wonder wether to let mine have just one more..well sorry to have probably bored you all senseless

 

[TayloredEq]

Jaxmath - Val had a really busy week as he was also competing the day before the expo and then had to fill in on a dressage clinic when I had someone pull out on the Tuesday after the expo. He's having a few days off now and then he has the regionals next week!!
I won't be able to make the March one at Hartpury as I have too many clients horses booked in to be able to get away for the day.

Charlies Army - he is liver chestnut (this is him with his winter coat to give you an idea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwR13rZjBgE).

I will also upload the video footage from the expo but have to get some paperwork done for my business first!!

Sir Frederic is fabulous! Didn't go to parade but have seen him in the flesh, he is simply jaw-droppingly, breathtakingly gorgeous and although he's dressage bred he's god a fantastic pop on him too! Think he could eaily be a dual purpose stallion and could put a lot of jumpers to shame!

[luckilotti]

it was Temple Akropolis and Sir Frederic that really caught my eye, i'm a bit

i missed Mooiman - dam my husband taking forever to get ready grrrrrr!

who was it Charliesarmy that you went to see? (pm me if you prefer!)

 

[Toast]
