I know nothing about breeding but i think she is beautiful and the 2 stallions that comes to mind for me are Unbelievable Darco or Future Elision. but feel free to ignore me as i really don't have a clue
 
Are you looking to refine her, improve movement or jump, improve temperament, increase or reduce height?

Has she been under saddle? How was she?
 
There os a lot of TB in her but ditto fluffy, are you looking to refine or is her stamp ok??? If her stamp ok and you wanna stick with a British based/owned stallion I would suggest Warrior as the 'man of the moment' who is about to embark on an International career!
 
You can afford to use a lighter framed stallion, so why not something like

If this boy was in the UK he surely ought to be considered

Helps to know your budget & whether the mare is to go to stud or be AI'd. There are a number of stallion producing show jumpers. Do you want an established stallion or are you willing to take the risk with one that has stock too young to be showing their ability?
 
She's a nice looking mare, hard to judge which stallion would suit without a bit more info on her rideability, temperament ect... What about Balou Du Rouet? I also really like Sir Shutterfly, both should give you a nice jumping prospect.
 
If you want Temprement and trainability you could take a look here he is SJ and Event bred and all his children including his Stallion son are very easy in all respects. please PM me I am assuming its for next year now? or is she swabbed and ready?
Ricco has a correct shoulder and has been used as a Improver for quiet a few broodmares.

He is quiet a popular stallion as you will see he has 31 offspring in just 4 seasons and 5 progeny prior to us.
