Hi, anyone got any offspring? What are they like and from what sort of mare?
I'm planning on putting my mare in foal next season, and although I have a fairly clear idea about what I want, it is possible I might be wanting to tick too many boxes at once!
The mare is a graded british sport horse with Dallas/John O'Gaunt lines (so more jumping blood). However she competes dressage and is proven to national level at Medium and hopefully will debut AM soon.
She is 16.1/16.2, strong compact body, deep girth with fractionally short legs. Active correct paces. Finds extensions and sideways easy, struggles more with collection. She has a gallop in her too.
The offspring will be retained and the aim will be for it to go professional eventing until it reaches its limit (whatever that may be!) and will then return to me for dressage.
So I want a showjumpers on her - but one that throws good movers too. Sufficient type/blood that eventing wouldn't be out of the question, even if never going to match the TBs on speed.
Rideability/temperament very important (given I will ultimately be riding it), and the shallow part of me likes good lookers too. The mare has quite small feet so I also need to be aware of that and make sure stallion has very good feet. Plus no giants either, 16.2ish is fine!
I've been researching for the best part of 18 months, and having spoken to breeding friends and also elite stallions, Quite Easy, Landor S and Stalypso could all fit the bill.
Anyone got any, especially under saddle? Photos would be good
