favourite warmblood event stallions to breed with a brave, solid tb mare ?
Personally, I'd go with a high-percentage TB or TB/ID, or something similar. What is your mare's breeding?
What are you trying to breed? to what level? Riders capability? these all need taking into account as there are many answers.
She is almost full TB, by Away with the Faeries (back to Ben Faerie) out of a Javas Tiger mare. She's quite a solid built tb, looking for something up hill as she is particularly down hill. The mare has evented to novice level, huge potential but due to injury putting her in foal. Looking to breed an eventer with good temperament, hopefully something with 2* potential, 15.3hh +. The mare herself is super brave and keen and a lovely temperament.
We used Forinth on our NH TB Mare and liked the foal so much we used him again. Both foals had fantastic temperaments.
Forinth was bred to show jump & jumped up to 1.45m then turned to eventing with James Adams & went from BE90 to winning a CCI* in first season - he has some very exciting youngsters just starting out eventing.
Cant wait for our 2 to be out competing but in the meantime they are doing a bit of showing & last year's has won a few classes.
Hi you should look at Sprin's Spirit, British Warmblood with the finest KWPN and British NH lines with a small % of ID giving him 75% TB, just perfect for your girl. £450 with a LFG for chilled all through Stallion AI so you can be sure of the best quality of semen shipped to any UK location.
Young stock are looking good adding quality to any mare. He himself has qualified for a British National Competition every year since the age of 4, including British Eventing Young Horse Championships as a 4 and 5 yo
Meant in the nicest possible way ... Is there a reason you keep suggesting spring spirit as an event sire on multiple threads? I'm sure he is a lovely good tempered chap who might be well used to make a nice showy allrounder, but he himself has shown little ability out eventing (young horse classes excluded) and neither did his sire. He is obviously too young to be proven by progeny either.
It might sound malicious and it's really not meant to be, but why not pitch him as a useful allrounder stallion?

The stallion industry is quite saturated at this time and I take any and every opportunity to promote him, Why not? Now for his age 7 he has done quite well, last year was a bit of a mess with rider errors (missing fences and a huge absces which knocked him out) but he still did quite well, don't you think? and we will see how he goes this year as we are just about to start running him again.
His sire could have gone to the top (4* riders words not ours) but we got his training completely wrong ;( However his dams sire is a different kettle of fish, don't you think?
see we are not a big stud but we do have a product that people like and want to use and pride ourselves on customer service and supplying best quality semen through StallionAI and he is priced at the target market.
We pitch him an eventer as not many stallions are capable of holding it all together for all 3 phases jumping 8 double clears in in row in eventing quite good I think? would have been 9 but for rider error.
Now we have hijacked this post and so if you like to discuss further please email me on john.chambers191@gmail.com may be we can discuss the stallions recently parading at Badminton or anything else.
I'd certainly look at Ramiro B.
Witches Broom (Bea) full TB, has just had a cracking filly by him. Full of quality; the breeder is delighted.
You took the words right out of my mouth! I have my own stallion, with successful progeny, but i wouldn't dream of pushing him on this forum. Advertising springs (pun!) to mind.
Hi Popsdosh, Thanks for the comments and its only fair that I humour you further as I do like a good discussion.I am sorry his record as a seven year old is pretty average certainly nothing to get excited about. I expect most of mine to be going double clear round intermediate tracks at seven and I would never even pretend they are stallion material. As for price I think you are well out of where he should be , I am paying a lot less for proven event stallions this year I am surprised team Matson have not pointed that out to you . As for hijacking the thread if you wish to promote your stallion on a thread expect to get people not agreeing with you and pointing out the shortcomings of your argument. In your eyes he seems to suit every mare that needs covering seriously if you wish to market him successfully you ought to be turning some away that dont suit your aims.
I would suggest also you get him approved with another stud book as very soon the young horse classes will be out of reach to his offspring as Breeders Elite registered foals are not eligible to go on to world championship .
Absolutely FC!
It's one reason why this forum is so empty now.
Yep! Why I tried to add some balance, however it is very difficult to stand back and be objective about your own for some ,others can be over critical of what they produce. To be honest sometimes I hear blah blah blah about a particular stallion when in reality its very ordinary and would most likely be better off two stone lighter and cut the BS
In a stallion, I'm looking for a decent record in it's discipline/ disciplines, (my boy is a winner in 6) PLUS the ability to improve his mares, and get sound, trainable youngstock. looks don't hurt either!
i would never use a warmblood stallion anyway.
there was a very interesting thread on here by someone irish about the high incidence of wb bred horses involved in fatal accidents in eventing which never really got going but raised good points.
