I have a super 'It's The Business' w/b chestnut mare, with a dressage mummy (African Copper). I am wanting to produce her first foal, a nice moving British Riding Pony type. I am trying to find a lovely pony stallion for AI. Nothing to stocky, as if anything I would like to produce a smaller version of her, not bigger than 14.2hh. It would be nice to produce a palomino, or a coloured, but movement and temperament more important. Can anyone suggest any proven stallions? I have tried Stallions online etc. nothing has caught my eye yet. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Have you seen Bernwode Brokat??? Also Bathleyhills have a cracking Palomino colt recently graded called Bathleyhills Monet - not proven but a cracking young horse!

Country Farm Stud have a lovely 14.2hh coloured sports pony.Something like 'sportswood Jaficca' , try their website for more information. They breed some beautiful horses and ponys, sports and show types. I think the owners name is Karen.

How big is she and could we have pictures please? If you are wanting to breed down then you may need to drop to the next height level and look below Brokat and Pennys' palomino boy but she has a lovely and very proven chestnut sec B that has been used a lot on bigger mares and does the job at a very good price and AI and if palomino is on the order form then she stands a sec b cremello also at a fab price, only young but I LOVE him in the pictures, really classical conformation or looks to have and I am quite tempted to try and breed a pally from him at some point even though I don't do that and the mare in question really needs size and canter which I have at home to use..... I would defo ring and ask about him though as if Penny has him he will be produced well and go out and do stuff thus promoting your foal if this is required.

Royal Command of Wentward is a nice little stallion. http://www.murraybrookstud.co.uk/3.html Nice temperament and breeds some good stock. We bred a very correct show hunter pony by him. That said we also have a small Its The Business mare and I’m not sure how he would cross with her as they are very different types

I'm in France so not up to date with currently standing UK pony stallions BUT as has been previously mentioned I would advise you to go for a stallion much smaller than you mare.

My mare is around 15hh and I chose a stallion who was 1.45m i.e., around 14.1hh as like yourself I was hoping to get something around 14.2hh. I was surprised how big my foal was at birth and now at 20months it's obvious that he is going to be bigger than his dam when fully mature.

Stanley Grange Cocktail I can recommend highly! Fantastic kids ponies temp to die for fab conformation and amazing movement and beauty! I have a baby by him I am thrilled with, to make 13.2hh HOYS qual RP... She is a yearling this year and have already been told to try to qual for Cuddy with her! She is out of 14.1hh mare, he stands at Cosford stud but would need to call them as he isn't at public stud! Also highly recommend SPSS not just for your stally options but also for grading your mare! Have fun choosing a future husband for your mare!!! ;-D k xxxx

I don't like the culture of "secret" reports to TFC and subsequent missing posts, so I will say here that I have reported the above posts by JohnBaur for their deliberately aggressive and unpleasant stance and content; I suggest that anyone who feels as I do, does the same.

Thank you Jamesmead. I decided the best way to deal with it was openly but you are quite right, the tone was altered unnecessarily. Seems I missed a bit during dinner though.

Truely I like the look of Mystic Pride, but it seems AI is not availble, and i think AI is my only option with the size difference and distance.

They did do A.I. with him...If you contact them I'm sure they'll confirm they do :)
Those photo's don't do him justice imho but he is a cracking pony and if you look at his pedigree it is top Sec B lines :)
