I am looking for a youngster of a sporty type - but not full TB or anything to fine (due to my long legs and their lack of girth!) between 16.3hh and 17.1hh........ I have found 2 possibles..... one is a filly and one is a colt - does not bother me too much (filly can be bred should in the future her career end and a colt once gelded, MAY be easier than a mare)...... both are coloureds and their breeding is as follows:

One is:
Sire - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 16.2hh x Dam - ISH mare 17hh

The other is:
Miley 16.2hh x Dam- ISH mare 16.1hh (but said to throw big foals - this one to make 17hh+)



My questions are:
- How much would you expect to pay for each of these at 1years old?
- In your opinion and for my needs - what would you class as the better breeding and why?



Any help and advice GREATLY appreciated - I am looking for a talented friend for life, so I need all the help and info I can get...... I am not very good at picking youngster to mature to what I want...... had 2 wrongs in past, this must be the right!

Thanks very much in advance

Personally I would say the Miley youngster. Miley has a very well respected reputation in the industry, having through very classy dressage and eventing youngsters and IMO is quite undervalued...there is someone on here (poss a couple people) who also have Miley babies. His son Briarlands Blackberry is an Advanced eventer as well as having a youngster on the Junior eventing squad. He is also sire of the GP dressage horse Wellington Masterplan who competed at the 2008 dressage Nationals...in fact Miley was the top UK sire at the Nationals in 2008!

Wolfgang IMO tends to sometimes throw questionable temps......plus whilst there are lots around the Miley's are better all round sports horses, with Miley also throwing a couple of graded stallion sons....

Regarding price...in this market I honestly don't know.....don't even know what to price our own in the current market....
 
I backed a horse by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - not an easy chap to say the least. He was the only horse that has ever reared over backwards with me (so far - don't want to tempt fate!) He was a stubborn little so and so!!
 
I have two geldings rising 2 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and I have to say, I must one of the lucky ones with their temperaments by the sounds of it!

Bailey is praised for how sweet, laidback, gentle and friendly he is - my vet keeps asking to buy him from me :P he is a lovely looking boy as well, and I have always found him incredibly easy to handle (even when he got a bit cabin feverish from not going out for 11 weeks within a day of him getting some turnout he was back to being easy to do), nothing seems to faze him.

Krypto could be a bit of an issue before he was gelded, but since then he has turned into a massive teddy bear. He is extremely good to handle, he is very intelligent and quick to learn, and is very chilled out and laidback and you can basically do anything with him.

I have no experience with Miley offspring, only my two, but you could also PM smileyfaces as she has 2 fillys by him (one is rising 1 and the other rising 2) and she can give you an idea of what they are like temperament wise.
