Hunter stallion to add length of leg...

[goodmorning]

Looking for stallions who will add length of leg, without adding tons of movement to this mare's big gaits, while retaining an impressive jump. Any suggestions?

Didn't see the mare,but you might look at www.landfriese.com He is the sire of National Champion "Quality Time"

Cunningham (Cassini I x Contender mare). 2007 National Champion Green Confo. Hunter, Reserve Champion 2nd Year Green. Very leggy, incredible jump.

How about Sir Wanabi (http://www.laprisestable.com/stallion.html) who has sired a lovely first crop of foals out of mares that were not exactly the "leggy" type;)? That stallion has done very well in hunter & jumper shows and completed his 100-day test in Ohio with a perfect score for temperament!

This site (http://wbstallions.net/stallionsatstud/index.php) has some beautiful hunter stallions with very good credentials in the ring, including Landfriese (http://wbstallions.net/stallionsatstud/index/listings/page226.htm) and Cunningham (http://wbstallions.net/stallionsatstud/index/listings/page167.htm) mentioned above and they have videos of them as well.

VDL Ulando H (http://www.canadianwarmbloods.com/stalliondetail.php?horseid=1000137) has been consistent in producing long-legged offspring of both hunter and jumper types. The foals he produces are modern and typey, with good toplines, very correct legs and pretty heads. They tend to be confident and friendly in nature, with good but not extravagant gaits. Ulando's canter has been described as "simply perfect" by one of Canada's olympic riders, a trait which can also be seen in his offspring.

Thanks for the suggestions...

I think Lotus T is another that will add leg, and I've done some digging through old threads, and Everest name also pops up.

What about some of the top hunter sires? Surely one must fit the bill (Don Alfredo, Zarr, Just the Best, All the Gold, Rio Grande, to name a few), you never see a hunter sire thread without these names mentioned. Adding length without refinement is fine...

A Fine Romance, who was a champion hunter himself in the Working Hunter division, very reliably adds length of leg. He is prepotent for a very strong topline, deep hip, correct conformation, a wonderful balanced canter,and great jumping ability.
One of his foals (who was a winner on the line at the Royal Winter Fair) went on to be an Advanced eventer,and is now a winning Grand Prix jumper (full TB) (My Romance aka Southbound).
His son Tiamo (Tiamo Romance) had the highest jumping score at the YEH Championships.
Another filly (Romantic Pursuit) won her class this year at Devon, while yet another (weanling filly) (Talloaks' Amelia) was tied for the highest scoring foal in the 2007 ISR/OldNA inspections. She has been sold and is now in a top hunter barn.

In addition they inherit his willing, intelligent temperament and great work ethic.

My webpage is (finally!) getting updated, and is a work in progress.

does anyone know of any of his offspring that are 1.5 to 3 years old? looking for a gelding?

You didn't describe the mare's bloodlines or any other traits you want/don't want from the stallion. Can you elaborate? Are you breeding for yourself or re-sell? All necessary & important facts before suggestions s/b given.

For a leggier look, I might consider checking out stallions like Cathalido. He is very leggy and would probably help achieve what you desire.
