Does anyone know of any nice stallions in Scotland?
I am in North Ayrshire & the closer the better!
 
Scotland AI Services - Have a stack of stallions available via AI - Ben has a great reputation, rates are very reasonable
MFS Studfarm - Have a nice selection of horses from Hanoverian and KWPN lines - Have heard good things about Caroline, stock are doing well
Hanleen Stud - Home of Cruisings Mickey Finn - Harry is good to deal with
Romanno Stud - Have two Hanoverian stallions, Jennifer I believe is good to deal with
Braeface Stud - Selection of top showjumpers, owner Claire Campbell

You also have Des Le Marquand who owns some lovely showjumping stallions, but I am not sure if they stand at stud.

All the stallions at the above studs are graded, so foals will come with full papers and passports.

How about MFS Sports Horses? http://www.morayfirthstud.co.uk/ They stand 2 super stallions and breed some truly gorgeous horses. They have also recently won an award at the British Breeders Awards Dinner!

I was going to say them too as I LOVED Don Aqui but I live down passed London and it was too far and short notice to visit by the time I decided to try and get my mare pregnant again.

Thank you everyone!
I am quite interested in the stallions Solaris Sports Horses have. Has anyone had any experience with them?

IMHO the stallions dont stand out, two are graded SSH with middle of the road marks, one stallion failed its grading, and the fourth is not graded. I guess it depends on the quality you are looking for, or whether you are concerned with the kind of studbook your foals will be eligible for, and the paperwork you will get.

BTW is it just me or are there a lot of Opie trolls on the go just now, as every second post is someone trying to promote her stallions.

Well said, Nomis. There is no point in breeding unless you use the best animals on both sides, and these stallions just do not stand out as excellent when compared to others that are available in Scotland. I would echo suggestions for MFS - excellent stallions and top notch mares begetting high class stock; their progeny results are proof of their breeding ethos.
 
Really depends what type of stallion you are looking for? As Holiday said though, you don't have to limit yourself when there's the option of AI.

That aside, Lambridden stud are in Dalry. Also if you pick an equiads up there's always a few in that - i noticed Bollin Terry of Puddledub stud is advertised this month. There's also always a few stallions in livery yards which pop up through word of mouth too.

The progeny at solaris have had great results.
 
lambridden stud in dalry have some extemelly well bred stallions including a son of eurocommerce berlin and 2 sons of cornet obolensky. they also are the only stud in the uk with the only franchise of the eurocommerce stallions. they have more than 100 stallions on there books and also employ an inhouse vetso vet fees are reduced. pm me if you would like more information
 
Nakita:

Solaris Sports Horses have very nice stallions, they arent far away form you either if you are in North Ayrshire!
www.umenno.com
I have a foal out of Umenno and she is a complete princess, so happy i chose him!! Good Luck with your stallion searching!
 
Lambridden Stud is one of the biggest studs in Scotland - have used them for the last couple of years with Eurocommerce Singapore and Balou Du Rouet - always had a good service

I thought another 'new' poster was trying to promote a particular stallion too.

OP on this thread could go to Ben at Scotland AI services, he is not too far from her and she could choose whatever breed she wants.
 
there do seem to be a lot of people promoting a certain scottish stud, but as posted above there seems to be little attractive about their horses, other than the colour.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal off-topic discussion

Indeed there are a number of Trolls within this forum one only needs to click on a posters profile to view a members previous posts which quickly identifies a members online behavioural patterns and establish their trollish behaviour.

For the record Nakita sent an enquiry via the umenno website on Sunday, enquiring after the two coloured stallions available and asked if we took in visiting mares and if we could provide natural service. Nakita was informed via email that we preferred not to take visiting mares and provided her with the contact details of a stallion owner in her local area that may be able to meet her needs.

Innocently Nakita posted on here genuinely enquiring after our stallions unaware that I was a member and oblivious to the fact that she would be met with hostility from a select few who's sole intention on these forums appears to be to bring the standards of the studs breeding program into disrepute, whilst at the same time purposefully promoting the services of others. This is the true nature of a troll.

I have no former association with Nakita as is the case with Crewello4 who also contacted me several days ago by telephone enquiring after McJonnas. They had mentioned that the mare in question had been imported and I immediately recognised her breeding as a mare that I had imported for a previous client.

They too innocently asked for feedback on Mc Jonnas in these forums totally unaware that I am a member and oblivious to the fact that Opie was the person with whom they had spoken to earlier that day and I was also unaware of the the fact until later in the thread that we had in fact conversed, Magic had to point out to the OP that it was Opie that stood Mc Jonnas at stud.

Regrettably they too have been met with animosity and hostility from a small minority and are now accused of being trolls.

It appears that within this community members are allowed to ask questions and opinions on stallions and studs services freely, however they are not permitted to ask any questions about any of the Solaris stallions without being met by negativity from the same select few and should any member dare post any positive remarks they are accused of being trolls by the trolls themselves.

Interestingly Trolls have a tendency to hide behind a screen of anonymity in fear that their trollish behaviour will bring their own real life identity into disrepute. Trolls are renown to be ugly creatures.

So in response to your question, no there are not a large number of Opie trolls on the go, however there are one or two senseless individuals who are displaying negative troll like behaviour should ever anyone ask anything about Solaris's stallions or thier services, not pointing my finger at anyone, as theres no need to, readers are able to identify trolls for themselves.

There are indeed a fabulous array of stallions at stud in Scotland to suit all types and all disciplines, for the amatuer the ambitious competitor and even the professional, there really is something for every one. I hope that everyone finds what they are looking for and that their stallion choices meet with their expectations.

There is a fabulous article in Horse Deals magazine on Lambridden Stud offering yet further choices and options to mare owners.

And on that note I am off to bed to get a good days sleep after a very long night and would like to say thank you to everyone who has responded to the former topics in good spirit.

 
I was wondering what you had done to upset people, but for the record I am grateful for the help you gave me a couple of years back. Teffy (who is name changing all the time) has also been a great help but seems to hesitate about coming into this part of the forum nowadays. Sally at Groomsbridge is another extreamly helpful person & stands some very nice stallions.
 
Perhaps the fact that some of your own posts have been removed suggests that Admin in their own right feel that there are advertising aspects within them that breaks the T&Cs of the forum.

As a postscript - You choose to give yourself a public profile for advertising purposes on this forum, which is your choice to make. Others prefer to keep their lives private.
 
nomis, am I missing something here? I was only thinking the other week how I had seen very few posts from opie lately. And for sure she is not the only one who has suggested their own stallions when a mare owner has asked, I dont remember seeing you jump on them. I distinctly remember one person pushing their stallion on every single "which stallion post", to the extent I made a comment that is must be one great stallion to compliment so many mares! Or words to that effect.
 
I am sorry that you feel you have had a bad experience with us at Lambridden. If you would like to PM me with your grievance, I will certainly do my best to correct any problems.
