SHOW COB STALLION

[LouHardwick]

HI
will post in breeding too.My firend is looking for a heavyweaight show cob stallion to put to her old fashioned small hunter.
Anyone know of any really soecial show cobs that stand?

Pink Panther..??

 

[LouHardwick]

I did look at him- apparantly he throws some nice stock but am keen to see what else people know off- I cannot seem to find any show cob stallions out there

I was going to suggest PP too! Have you looked at 'proper' small Irish Draughts with legs at each corner? There are quite a few by them doing well, also you get extra classes too as part breds!

 

[LouHardwick]

GOOD IDEA
ANY NAMES?
I am being very lazy- I know a couple of studs that have the right type but she wants the wow factor xx

 

[Maesfen]

Don't know if he's still going but Finnbarr that stood at New Hill Farm (Mark Fitton) is a cracking sort. Can't think of any others as small as him but if you go on the breed website that should help.

Might get slatted for this but what about using a good Highland/Fell/Dales; it'll have to be a very good mover not just a prety face? That way she might stay within the height bracket. If she doesn't mind going higher, so out of class, I'd suggest Maurice Miner, a full Irsih Draught by Colman. He is throwing exceptional movers with great temperments. This is one by him out of a 15 hands TB - he's now 17.2 at three and half!

here you are!! hes at the same stud that my mare has gone to! also worth a look at Country Marksman used on cob or ID mares he produces top class show cobs!!

edited to say it has some of his babies on there as well!!

Sorry cross posted

 

[Capriole]

wow! he actually IS pink! lol

 

[brackenhappy]

LOL great minds and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ESH_Jess]

would you consider a 'hairy'? or does it not fit your breeding aim?

 

[brackenhappy]

LOL i was choosing between Marksman and Dollar!! Dollar won in the end!! but the main reason is his foals look quite broad in the chest and with bracken being 19 now!! wanted to use stallion that wouldnt potentially give her difficulties birthing!!Dollars foals are all legs!!! also Marksman is same height as bracken so wanted something a tad bigger!! i do like the hairys though they would be wasted on a TB!! also on there is springhill-ballyboy that i briefly considered not because he's coloured but seen him showing at the royal welsh a few years ago and he really stood out to me!!nice movements etc however again it was the height thing!!!
