Went to the Equine event at the Bath and West showground today mainly to see the stallion parade as one of the stallions on my list was there.
It turned out there were 6 stallions there, 3 which I didn't no where there, and one that didn't show.
So with out saying names in case I'm not allowed.
First in was a German TB (one I didn't no was there). He was an ex racer, 16.3hh, 10 yrs old, dark bay, Sire- Dashing blaze, came over from Germany and is standing at a stud in Dorset. He was a very nice horse, did a nice little show, un-proven 2007 being he first year at stud. He was well training in dressage and is starting showjumping this winter. His stud fee is £400 for 2007.
Next in was a very local stallion to me, who I didn't no was there. He's a palomino, Lusitano x Arab, 15.3hh. Sire- Idolo.
He is AI only and is based in Somerset. He does BSJA, BE at Intermediate level, is NASTA graded grade 1. And grade 1 with the AHS premium scheme. He also does Spanish Dressage displays with his owner. He did a lovely display and bowed at the end. He is £450 for 2007.
Next in was the stallion I went to see. And I was very disappointed. He was being led and spent most of the time on 2 legs, changing from front to back. He is a bay, 15.3hh, 10yr old, anglo arab, sire- Roviris. He's been British National Champion 4 times, UK anglo arab champion, champion hack and SHB (GB) graded stallion in 1999. He stands at stud inbetween Bath and Bristol. £300 is his stud fee for 2007.
Then a gorgeous little Welsh A came in. He is 4 yrs old, Grey, and I would guess about 11.2-12hands. He is a champion and silver medal winner in hand at the Royal Cornwall and has been placed twice at Royal Welsh. He did a really nice show, and has wonderful paces.
The next stallion in was a 18hh shire. He is 6 yrs old, and is black. He was awarded a Super Premium this year. He did a nice show, in hand, but I thought his quarters and back legs were quite poor and under muscled compared to the rest of him.
The last stallion in was a Irish sports horse. He is 15.2hh, 12yr old, dark bay. He is currently being ridden by a top international event rider. And was the top british horse at the World young horse championships for 7 yr olds and in 2002 he won the British horse breeding eventing award. His fee is £600 for 2007 and is at stud in Dorset the same stud as the German TB.
So there we have it. I think after seeing them all that I may have the Lusitano x arab for Hattie's husband next year as he is so local to me.
