The Stallion .....

Legrande
Franklyn Sugar
Randi - though doubt could keep up with him!!
Power Blade
Oh the list would just go on & on. I would also like to take the Funnells home to work their magic on the homebreds, both human & animal!
 
You GOT to take Don VHP home lol!!!

I would have loved to steal:

Franklyn Sugar - SERIOUSLY one to watch - just a superbly schooled and mannered baby!
Power Blade
Challon Z
Zilando
Deli
Landpirol
Billy Mexico
Legrande - that trot! WOW!
and my always fave boy El Thuder

Now to win the lottery!!
 
Would have to be Legrande, although wouldn't be able to sit to that trot!

Also, love Upton's Deli Circus, Billy be cool and Zilandro.
 
Agree with many of the above : and seriously considering Don VHP for our brick ****house this year, to add some length of leg and blood!

Also : Power Blade
Crusador
Revolution (his progeny record is pretty impressive!)
Balloon
Uptons Deli Circus
Landpirol
and the GIGANTIC Primitive Star!! (And did really, really like the Spotty One :), what an honest chap) - oh and my always heart throb Caretino Glory .....

how am I going to get them all into a VW Golf? :D :D
 
I'm spoilt for choice! Uptons Deli Circus is a dude and I was lucky enough to win the covering to him in the auction. Woo Hoo!

Legrande is simply gorgeous. I'd really like to use him on my Trakehner mare in the future.

Revolution and his son Sir Suave were gorgeous too, such lovely temperaments.

Its a good job I don't do showjumping as I couldnt choose between all the fabulous jumping stallions that were there. We have so many top class stallions available in the UK now. we are very lucky. :)
 
Shirley that is just not fair rubbing it in like that, you already have Don VHP Z and we ALL want him.

I WANT ........................... Claire has just reminded me that, 'wants don't get, so please many I have'...................

WARRIOR (but who doesn't)
DON VHP Z (My Sandro mare will suit him down to the ground)
BALLOON (such a super boy with a fantastic temperament, so chilled both over a fence and on the flat, a cuddle bunny in the stable too)
LANDPIROL (what a super stamp of horse he is, certainly fills the eye)
BILLY CONGO (Looks like a novice could have popped him over the top of the wings, so uncomplicated)
ARGENTO (Off the floor over his fences, he screams POWER POWER POWER)
AVANTI AMOROUS ARCHIE (Lovely ID type, athletic and sane, fabulous)
CARETINO GLORY (Super boy and I LOVE Sussex Caretino, his daughter, I want to take her home)
CHATEAU DE BRION QUAINTON (as long as I can have DJ Chinook with him too, he was stunning and so well behaved for a baby)
MARCUS AURELIUS (my endurance mares would really like to meet him)
RUGHAVENS JACKPOT (such a sweet boy)
ZILANDO (both talent and colour)
STORMHILL MINK (what a wonderful boy he is and my goodness he really can move)

It is so difficult, the list could go on and on. I apologise if I have not mentioned anyones horse, being stuck in the stables most of the day I actually missed quite a few of them. But I can say that there was not one stallion who didn't behave himself in the stables. It was a hive of activity all day and not a peep out of the boys even though we had stallions being walked up and down the corridors between stables all day long. They were a credit to their owners and handlers.

Roll on 2012 yay.....................................
 
no! He's mine MINE I TELL YOU mwuwaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa

and thank you lol

lol

Well you missed the best bit of his first ever party!!!!!! He came out of the indoor and passaged all the way back to the stables, at one point when the wind got up his tail, he did the most spectacular capriole, six foot in the air, but never once took a pull on the leadrope. What a good boy Bless him :D
 
I had a lovely time and it was great to meet all those people, and to put names to faces by meeting Shirley and Cruiseline.

I would have loved to have put on my lorry for the journey home:

Maestro
Legrande
Uptons Deli Circus (I don't like jumping but this stallion makes me want to have a go!)
Flammengold
Balloon
 
There were so many beauties there, but there's just the one that would make me cry into my coffee if I could never use him on my big TB mare, and that would have to be Primitive Star.

I love Philip. I want Philip. I need Philip. I WILL HAVE PHILIP............
 
I sadly didn't get to see any others in the main ring as we were busy in the stable with visitors wanting a cuddle with Spider.
However I did see Franklyn Sugar warming up and thought he'd be one I'd like to take home, as well as my own, of course! :D
 
Spider was really nice, loose, soft and very well behaved for such a young stallion, but there was so much on offer, my head's still spinning!

Thank you, actually that means an awful lot to me. My young rider was under instruction to give him a nice time, and although he can move with a lot more lift and power, I just feel that he's too young to be pumped up as yet.

Very wise instructions too, he is a super young horse with a very promising future ahead of him and such a sweetie too :D
 
So many lovely stallions! I LOVED Legrande, his elevation was incredible! I suppose I'm a bit biased as I have a Legrande baby due soon :D I also loved Franklyn Sugar, I had been researching him before attending SSGB but thought he was even better than I was expecting, fantastic temperament and moved beutifully.
Although they are not the type of stallions I would use on my mare, I also really liked Chellon Z and Warrior - I'm not usually a fan of chestnuts but he is lovely :) He was such a good boy in the mini lesson with Fiona Bigwood :)
