I do have a wishlist, and also a shortlist, but if anyone has any input I would take it on board.
She is SHB(GB) graded Foundation only although her breeding *I believe* she is by an Irish stallion called Tara's Flight, she is 15.2hh moves well, powerful paces, but dishes with front left, no competition record.
I am looking for a stallion who would be attractive to the Sports Horse market, as the foal would be for sale.
I am based in Lancashire, but would travel within reason.
 
I would recommend going to have a look at the Holdenfold stud which is at Tockholes nr Darwen in Lancs.

They have several top quality stallions - Mooiman and Oliver - both KWPN approved and Santana an approved Oldenburger. They also have frozen for Scandic, French Kiss and Ampere.

I have a homebred 4yo mare by Mooiman out of my retired advanced mare. She is just the nicest person imaginable. Fantastic conformation, paces and trainability. Wouldn't part with her for anything :D
I like her so much I repeated the cross and now have a month old colt who is just as stunning as his big sister and am currently trying to get the mare back in foal again (didn't take on her foal heat).

Both foals are a consistent improvement on the dam. Both straight and uphill movers. Dam is 7/8TB and does dish, although it never affected her performance. The now 4yo was reserve champion foal at her KWPN keuring (proud Mum moment there :D )

Am at work at the moment so can't upload any pics. Will PM you a link later to my FB album of the pair.

I'm planning on using the Oldenburger next year for my other mare.
