Which stallion???

[ccooxxyy]

I have a 13.1hh mare who has just had a beatiful filly by Mcguigan this summer who is hopefully going to make a smart FEI pony. My problem is now.. what to put the mare to next any ideas??? bearing in mind the mare was a county level WHP and BYRDS regional champion, so has the paces and the jump!! any ideas?

Bang goes my theory that McGuigan throws big foals!!!

Really need to see the mare as the stallion only contributes about 40%, but for performance what about;

Good ponies stallions are hard to find and if you have a good mare who moves well and jumps the decision is which way to go. The show pony societies have a good list of the best performing stallions. I did notice when i was looking for a stallion for my mare that meadow stud have a very good pony stallion that is doing well, he might be worth a look at and there is the FEI dressage stallion Manitu.

I was thinking along the lines of using Up with the Lark but now I'm not so sure having seen some of these smart pony stallions, any other suggestions?

I love Bernwood Brokat (sp) and Broomford Dancer, though find the whole concept of calling these Welsh/Riding Ponies, continental or warmblood ponies ludicrous when they are effectively just exported and then re-imported with dressage training and big stud fees.......

I would go for something like Daws Firebird maybe, if I wanted something small but gorgeous or Harroway Mr Harlequin.

I agree with you with goin for horses rather then pony stalions as she is only 13.1hh you want a bigger pony and if they go over u can still sell them as eventers to juniour riders makin the step from ponies to horses, whereas if u got a 13.3hh posh pony you would have to find someone to ride it otherwise its just a waste!
