Yes I know they are coloured (again)....

[S_N]

... but what do people think of these stallions?

This chap is 3yrs old, 16hh atm and has impressive bloodlines

This chap is homozygous for colour and is by the infamous Samber, he is another youngster, to mature to 16,2hh

This chap only carries English lines, is 17hh and has been very successful showing

 

[Skhosu]

like first, ok 2nd, don't like the last ones head, but thinking the photo may be stretched?

 

[S_N]

I think that all 3 could have better photos tbh!

Is that impressive bloodlines or Impressive bloodlines?

 

[S_N]

PMSL - NO, NOT THAT HORSE!!!!!!! His bloodlines are very good is what I meant

Carries Burgraaf etc.....

 

[Tia]

Phew!!

Personally I don't like the first one (although in a better picture he may well be my favourite).
The second one is majority white - another thing I don't like, although I do like his frame.
The third one looks the nicest to me, but agree with the elongated head in one of the piccies.

Better piccies could completely change my opinions though LOL!!

 

[S_N]

Yes, the majority of white does concern me on the 2nd one, but that may not be passed on........ TBH, from that picture, I wouldn't have looked twice at him if he wasn't homozygous.

I'm contacting all three for more details though - hopefully get better pics too. The first one is for sale - £10,000 for him

 

[lisaward]

like the first two ,probably like no 2 the best.
can you PM me his name please

 

[Maesfen]

I started something today didn't I?!

I like the first though would like to check out his hind movement before committing myself; didn't like the second, think if he had been a solid colour you wouldn't have even looked at him although will be interested to see when he matures, but also far too much white for me!; third I liked a lot, looks a proper horse but I hope the pic on the right had been tampered with else you and Uncle Tom Cobley an' all will be able to fit on!

Have you looked at Northern Inspiration (I think!), he stands in Bedford and is now having a dressage career; think he's out of a Better BY Far mare can't think what he's by though atm.

 

[S_N]

this chap Pat

He's by Lostock Blue, by Better By Far, out of a mare by Highlodge, by the 2000 Guinneas winner High Top (who incidentally is the sire of a stallion I used to work with called Miners Lamp - Miner has been a successfull showing, event horse sire....)

 

[S_N]

Here's a link to his info - he's called Tom Tom (odd name IMO)

[lisaward]

thanks
yer not sure on the name???

 

[frannieuk]

I like the second one

 

[Tharg]

I like the first one, second one has too much white for me.

 

[Maesfen]

That's him!

I know Nicky who owns him very well and he's a smashing horse to have about the place; in fact thinking about it, he wouldn't be a bad match for Dotty!

And I knew Better By Far was in there somewhere!

 

[S_N]

This chap is homozygous too - only 3yo, though poss. only 2yo in the picture. He is beautifully bred- but expensive at £550!!!

 

[S_N]

i like him - think he would be nice on B......... Northern Inspiration I mean - good for Dotty too!

 

[lisaward]

probably talking out of my ****
but do you think he throws a irish/plain head ??
both him and the foal shown have irish heads
i like him though,not a bad price either

 

[S_N]

I still like this chap

[lisaward]

???????

 

[Maesfen]

Thought of another one for you too, Stormhill Mink. He was around here until a couple of years ago and has left some nice stock on the ground even from plain mares - which B isn't!

Like that last one but it's getting confusing now, all these different coloureds!

Horsenut, what's wrong with an Irish head, they're usually very noble and kind - but that's my opinion only, don't take it as gospel!!

 

[lisaward]

i like noble and kind but do you think that an eventer would get away with a irish head ??
i thought people may take what i was trying to say the wrong way,gosh i find it hard sometimes to put across in words what i mean on here,it's not like saying things

i do like him
do you think crossed with a ish northern inspiration would have enough quality to event??

 

[lisaward]

this one??

http://www.stormhillmink.co.uk/

 

[Doreys_Mum]

tbh SN..... why not try looking into proven stallions?

These babies have had no chance to prove themselves or their offspring!

[/ QUOTE ]

You've confused me there totally

Why would an "Irish" head be detrimental to an eventers career?

 

[lisaward]

would it have enough quality?
i haven't seen many top eventers with irish heads.
and don't get me wrong i haven't said i don't like the stallion
i'm just asking peoples opinion re;quality/would event

 

[dieseldog]

Are you trying to bred an eventer? Depends what level you are going for but 1 and 3 look too heavy, just could be the photo, you might get a nice safe PN horse out of them - which is probably worth more than a scatty Intermediate. You got to ignore the colour as your mare is solid and think if you would want a solid coloured foal by these stallions.

Couldnty agree more- no point trying to breed an eventer with colour. The only 2 coloured eventing stallions I'd consider are Greenbank Harlequin and Uptons Deli Circus

 

[lisaward]

thanks thats been alot more helpful.

 

[Claireg9]

i like 2nd and 3rd, but not first, third is my fav!
