Hello, I am considering breeding from my mare.
Still loads of thinking through to do, need vets ok etc etc, but just wondering what you guys think, and would suggest as a stallion, as I am quite new to all this.

I don't know her breeding but she has lovely paces and a really super jump. If I do my sums and can afford to, I would like to breed something for me, to be a really decent all rounder.

I am thinking maybe TB but want something with a very easy temperament. She is about 15.2 and I don't want to breed anything huge. Not fussed about foal being coloured.

What do you think?

Where are you in the country, or are you aiming for AI? A TB should give you a nice type of horse.

If in the westcountry, then there's this one, very well known and well regarded. http://www.trenerthequestrian.com/index....0&Itemid=83

This one (photo does not do him justice, this stallion is stunning if knocking on a bit) http://www.langallerfarm.co.uk/indstallion.php?lngforsaleID=38

And my personal favourite, this one, I had the pleasure of knowing one of his fillies, she was the sweetest natured mare going. http://www.brendonhill-stallions.co.uk/
 
I have to agree with your comment on Daws Firebird!! I was blown away by him when I saw him - I nearly asked if it was the same horse as on the stud card!!
 
hello, thanks for that - really helpful. Am thinking AI at the mo.
Which one of the brendon hill stallions would you recommend? Are they all full TB do you know? (sorry to be thick - i have heard of ben's faerie etc). It's Without Doubt looks luurvely!!

Although i thought tb would be good for her would like a tb with a bit of substance if you know what i mean.
 
What county are you in and do you have an AI centre nearby, or specialist vet? Just thinking aloud here (and postponing continuing packing

)
 
Hello, in Oxon, and yes there is a good stud vet round this way that I know friends/yards have used for AI (I still need to investigate all the costs etc - if I go ahead expect lots of Qs being posted!!)
packing - eww! have to sign off now but please keep suggestions coming and will check back tomorrow - thank you!!
 
Yeah he's quite well under - I don't know if there is any frozen of his, but I've seen peeps on here advocating, so maybe there is? I know he was a tough racehorse and an excellent sire, but his feet always worry me.....

Wow - Hot Rumour really does it for me - would seriously consider that boy for my mare.

I've had a soft spot for him since I met him out staghunting one day! Such a gent; will have to sort out some pic's if I can find them!
 
thank you everyone, i wouldn't have had a clue where to start with TBs, so you've all been really helpful. Off to do more homework on this (inc sums!) will let you know what i decide...
