Well I'm toying with the idea of another Holly Baby as I'm so so pleased with this one, obviously I won't be going into this lightly hence why now in September I'm thinking of next spring.

Last time I used Laban and got Callie who you have all seen. I could use him again as Callie has come out nicely but was picked up on a couple of things at the Futurity, namely the evaluators thought her neck overline came off the shoulder a little low.

Other options are Hilkens Black Delight who I think is a bit stockier in these photos than Laban, but he does have the higher neck overline?

I also like Don Joshi however I believe he is only avalible by Frozen semen, and I think that once the mare is over 16 that it isn't advised? Its possible that I could use him as a potential husband for Callie in future...

I also picked up a leaflet for a palamino Weser-Ems pony stallion at the Futurity but I've lost it and can't remember his name to look him up more!

Now Holly is hot to ride so I do want something with a good laid back temprement, also aiming for the offspring to be no bigger than 14.2h. Conformation wise Holly has slightly upright pasterns, is slightly croup high, and has a tendancy to brace herself on the underneath of her neck. She has got a cracking jump and nice paces but not floaty when she relaxes.

What do you all think?
 
Personally I love HBD but dont know what he is like temperament-wise. Is the palomino Casino Royale K ? You can get semen from the same people who offer it from HBD - he looks nice but bigger and more 'horsey' than HBD. I have a pony mare by Wurlitzer and she has the most amazing temperament (as does he) so can recommend him.
 
Hi,

My friend and her mother own Blackington Stud which are agents for Casino Royale K and Hilken's Black Delight. They've used HBD twice I think, and both of the foals are absolutely stunning. The first colt received a premium from the Oldenburg society when he was very young.

We currently have a mare due in 2009 to Bernwode Brokat, which we are very excited about. HBD is a definite prospect for the future, along with Don Joshi, who I think you can get chilled semen from Hobgoblins stud.

Good luck with your stallion choosing!
 
Hi, We've just come back from the Bundeschampionate where Casino Royale became Bundeschampion in the 3 year old riding pony stallion class. We watched him in the final qualifier on Friday and he was impeccable. He then came first in the last round yesterday and became BC after the final round where the top three were ridden by two guest riders. I have a mare in foal to him for next year and I know there are a few others in UK also in-foal to him, so a very exciting result all round!
