Does anyone know anything about the CB/TB eventing stallion Pembridge Minstrel? Based on info from links given in the Breeding forum I understand he is again competing (based Cheshire?) with his owner Robert Lumb and that he's still at stud. Does anyone have youngstock from him? The eldest would be competing themselves by now. Only I've a mare wants to meet him

my old Advanced mare's second foal is by him. i lent her to a friend, who chose him. the offspring, a mare, is 4 now, pretty nice (takes after her mum, he doesn't stamp his stock) and very amenable. so far showing no real jump though, which is surprising as her mum had a phenomenal jump.
he's nice, and he had a fantastic record, but he was retired through injury i believe, and has missed quite a few years. he's got a v. good temperament etc.
personally, i wouldn't choose a CB, but that's just me!
 
Thanks Kerilli; I'm interested in him because he seems such a strong, correct, scopey horse; but I would have expected him to stamp his stock. I suppose the best measure of a sire is his offspring, so its really useful to have some info from people who have known them personally. I wondered where he went to; so he was injured?
 
My YO used him on her mare - she used Jumbo first, then PM, and went back to Jumbo for the 3rd foal.

Polly is 3 coming 4, then they were worried that she didn't have a jump, but she has just found her ping and is jumping out of the paddock

She is the spit of her mother, doesn't have a trace of PM in her if I am honest. My YO and her daughter used to do heaps of showing and her daughter was a rider for the Hollingses. Polly was going to be sent there as she is so beautiful they reckoned she would be better off as a showing horse, but now she has started to know what a jump is, her future as an event horse may just happen

She has time to prove herself now and I will keep you updated.
 
Thanks, Weezy- really helpful. So thats the second instance of the offspring resembling the mare...Glad this youngster found her ping, though.

I used to think that horses that can jump would do it for fun sooner or later, but I'm not so sure now; some just seem too laid back to be bothered.

I would be interested to know what the mares are and what sort of height the youngsters make relative to their dams. Actually I wouldn't mind a clone of my mare but she must be about 15.3, and I'd really like just a shade bigger.
 
Mare is TB, 16.1hh, P is already 16.1 and will make 16.2/3 we think - I can get some pics for you tomorrow if you like and get some more info from YO and her views on him as a Sire.
