Suggestions for New Super Mare Please :D

[QUOTE=gadetra;9479061
Also French Buffet-did he leave any straws behind him?

Not sure about that but he left me a gorgeous chestnut colt. :D
Reno Rebel could be worth a look or Loughehoe guy. There were nice foals by both of them at Cavan last year.
 
Downe Right Rebel is TB by Mayhill, seriously good Tb bloodlines who have proven themselves at eventing. He has moved to Ireland since July 2010 and is standing in Kenmare, Co. Kerry, available for natural cover and AI. This horse you have to see him in the flesh to feel his beautiful presence, this does not show in his photos. He did very well at the Horse Board Inspections this year. Check out his facebook page or call +353877710360 for further information.
 
Thank you all for your brilliant suggestions :D
At the minute Loughahoe Guy is in pole position. I like Let the Lion Roar at Bridgehouse but not too sure if he's available to sporthorse mares.
If i can get transport sorted down to Loughahoe Guy in Ballinasloe it's a done deal if not then someone closer. Am also looking into AI with the vet so fingers crossed! I'm not sending her off untill end of April/May but very very excited. I have also thought of a name for the Beth (supermare)/Loughahoe Guy offspring...it hasn't even been concieved! how sad is that :o
 
What about Ghareeb? He has quite a number of eventing progeny doing well, including 4 or 6 three star horses (several of which have damsires going back to King of Diamonds).

ETA: Not met any progeny personally but from what I can gather they seem to have nice temperaments. Mark Kyle has one eventing as does Oli T.

Ghareeb produces lovely workmanlike horses with superb temperaments.
Rich Rebel is sadly no longer with us.
We will be sending our Kings MasterxCavalier mare to Slyguffs new Stallion Pointiiliste this year. He created quiet a buzz last year.
He has incredible presence and movement although as a first year stallion he is yet unproven; however we will put our faith in Slyguff that they have chosen an apt replacement for Master Imp.
Typically marketing is at a minimum but you can see him here in the RDS 2011 parade:

Slyguff do not do AI but as you are in the same country at least it might be worth taking a look at him.

Another horse that I really do like is Mighty Magic, 86% tb and with both Mytens and Heraldik it would be hard to overlook him.

Considering that this thread was started a year ago, I'm wondering gadetra, just what happened. Who did you use, and is or was your mare in foal?

Does anyone know if Slyguff's Stud has a website?

Oh Goodness I didn't even notice that!

Alec, Slyguff have never had a website :( I guess that is why there are so few pics around of Master Imp.
I don't think that they buy in to marketing and rely on Word of Mouth for business.
Seems to work for them anyway, from what I was told Pointiiliste got over 50 mares in his first year last year and they were good ones by all account. I would never of heard of him at all had someone i trust pointed me in his direction.
They don't do AI either which makes life a bit more difficult.
Did you watch the video? what did you think of him? Financial reward is another very nice looking horse but his movement is just not on the same level.
 
i have a sensational Flagmount King mare, out of a super TB flat line (Ribot) she is due in 3 weeks to Billy Mexico.

my mare is very similar in type, but she is 17.2 and was a successful 1.30/1.40 horse. She looks very similar to your mare (image of their father!!)

I chose Billy Mexico for his superb athletic ability and his unbeatable laid back and biddable temperament. His sire Cevin Z has produced high class eventers, as well as jumpers! Plus, i've seen lots and lots of his foals at Billy Stud + 3yo which are wonderful athletic types with great trainability! All had his wonderful movement too!

i will upload a photo for you (when i work out how) :)

hope my essay helps!
 
Just been reading through all the old threads as i'm trying to decide what stallion to use on my mare. What does everyone think to Esteban? I think he'd be a match for the OP's mare (in theory, as being such an old post she will have made her choice) - he'd also be a very good match for my event mare. He impresses me because i adore thoroughbreds and being the WORLD'S highest ranking TB sports horse stallion (alive) and standing in the UK, i feel he is one not to be over-looked. My mare is a registered, graded Hanoverian - so this too would be good, as he is licensed with them as well as with the Holsteiner, ISH, Trak, SF and BWP. I've probably missed some off but hey ho.
 
Hi all, sorry I missed the resurgence of this thread, I was without broadband and missed it completly!
Well, Beth/Supermare went down to Watervalley stud to Loughehoe Guy, as I wanted to breed an eventer (even though It'd probably cost me as TB sired foals make the least at the sales :( )
She was there for 3 months and no sign of her to take via AI to him so in August (the 4th month she'd been there :o) she ran with the stallion owners young stallion Watervalley Cool Diamond :
http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?d=...x=&color=&dog_breed=any&birthyear=&birthland=
She took woo hoo! not what I had intended, but being the first foal it'd be small so no harm having a bit of extra ID sunstance there. The foal wil the 3/4 linebred to KOD, which aren't the worst bloodlines to double up on!
She's due August the 21st but as an older maiden I expect she'll go the full 12 months, so I'm in for a very very stressed August!
There will be an full photographically enhanced thread when resultant foalín arrives :)
Also this year I'm thinking of going ...(whisper it...) continental *looks around shiftily*
Je T'Aime Flamenco or Luidam maybe? Definately French, think the substance and movement match ISH's best. The stallion Touchdown is my inspiration :)
Then year after next Loughehoe Guy or visa versa? Oh decisions decisions. I feel a pre-foal who's-gonna-be-the-next-daddy-thread coming on....;)
 
Good luck with your due foal!!

I had a foal born end July and he lives at a professional stud and is rising two. I have watched him grow in comparison with his field mates and he is seriously behind them. In fact, I have pretty much written off having him ready for 4 year old classes when the time comes.

I would never have one so late again, in your position I would wait and start early next year- not put in foal this year. Unless you were using a different mare?

Good luck looking forward to seeing some pictures
 
Hi Melissa,
Yes your right the foal will be a good 5/6 months younger than it's peers and I think I will leave the covering untill next spring. As the foals are to be sold it oesn't make sense to have them so late. Her cycles were very funny and I thought if I can get the forst foal out of her it would help to regulate her cycles and make her easier to cover. Also at 16 this year time is running out! I have far too many plans and not enought time ;) I would really really like to get a TB sired foal and a French out of her before she finishes-the TB foal will make an eventer, she's a super type and has such a good hindleg and so scopey it would be a shame not to go for a showjumper out of her too. Her half sister is bred for showjumping so I have far too much food for thought with her!!
