Hi
I am thinking about breeding a second foal after our first was born 2.5 years ago. Sadly we have since had to have the mare we bred from first time put down (the foal was always going to be a keeper).
When we went to view the stallion I fell in love with a two year old the breeder had and bought her she has since been backed and ridden away. She has been an angel to break and generally is a complete pleasure to have on the yard. Sadly she is not big enough for me to ride competitively she is only 15.2 (I am 5.11). However she is beautifully put together and moves like a dream. Although her family jump she is not overly enthusiastic will pop a small jump but its not for her.
I am thinking of breeding from her due to her temperament and confirmation, she is realistically worth £2500 to sell and I value her temperament higher than this. We have plenty of land so space would not be an issue.
What do people think? Am I being over sentimental and should just accept that she is not big enough and sell her.
