Am swooning at these french horses Bbmat! Any ideas what sort of prices they were fetching? Big money I guess?
The Baloubet Du Rouet foal is stunning....
Isn't it disappointing how far ahead of us the French are with their breeding/marketing? I visit the Salon du Cheval in Paris in December, and to see the amount of money the government pours into the equestrian industry, just puts us to shame! They have a thriving, profitable industry that is promoted and nurtured, rather than ours, which is legislated and ignored!!
Oooh lucky you how exciting!
Just spent all evening watching all their vids,do love some of them!
Take lots of pics if you go- and if pos buy lot 120 for me....!!
I love SF! I bred my mare from SF and I have her daughter who is part bred SF. Best breed ever. So brave, kind and excellent jumpers! I have owned so far 3 either SF or part bred and never had a bad experience.
I like the black stallion number 18! Next year I am planning to put my mare to SF stallion, but really hard to find good one over here!
I'm a big fan of the breed too - put my ISH to a SF stallion (Valesco, was in Cornwall at the time now in Newcastle I believe). Produced a lovely filly, she is a dream, such a sweet nature - would have another with no hesitation.
My horse wasn't bred by the person I got her from but i know that he had a few when I bought Alee. He was hoping to keep some to back and sell on. I'm pretty sure he will still have some but they would only be 3-4 years old. Let me know if you want details.
Sorry to hear that the other one was sold but at least you have found the breed that you want now.
