Thanks Stolensilver. The mare I am using is in Germany so I will get chilled. In answer to the Connery powerpack question - the filly was a real mover with a motor but the colt not. The dam was not a great mover but good walk and canter.
I have seen Hofrat and as a young horse he had a real ability to pick up in the wither when ridden by the master of young horses, Armbrust. He did however have very short and upright pasterns and was lame quite often, I think, in the early days.
Hi Woodlander, its good to hear your mare is in Germany. I'm not sure if you will be able to use chilled though. I know that Hohenstein's semen doesn't keep well enough to be chilled and posted out. It has to be collected and used straight away. If you want a Hohenstein baby your mare has to go to his stud to be inseminated. Whether that is also the case with Caprimond I don't know. I'm sure the stud will tell you what will be best for your mare.
