I've just finished defrosting from my morning of stallion shopping and am here to report. I went up to Lexington to look for potential mates for the following mares:
Mer Babe: Talented SW who was 5 3-1-1
Two Reigns: Full sister to GSW
Key Bar Zagor: My upper level eventer
Classy Tigress: Talented young mare that broke her knee this year.
At Lanes End I looked over:
AP Indy: still as spry as ever, cavorting around his pasture in the cold. He's such an old hat he posed like a statue and was really fair personable. Relatively robust, shall we say, but looked the picture of health.
Belong To Me: He really looks like a little Welsh Cobb. A little bit of a sour temperatment and his feet appears a little chipped up. Pretty tied in at the knee and a weaker stifle than I'm looking for.
Rock Hard Ten: What a handsome boy! I'm really interested in him as a sporthorse sire. Stood like a halter horse and bowed his neck as if on command. A very sweet eye and fair cleanlegged. I love this horse!
Pleasant Tap: While I love the temperament he passes on to his progeny, his conformation doesn't do much to wow me. He did have the grooms chasing him all around the pasture though!
Wando: My favorite of the day! I love how he's put together, short enough back, great shoulder, lovely hind end, reasonably clean legged and such a pet! Just wanted to kiss and lick me the whole time. I really do love this guy and he is a Woodman, whose progeny have proved time and again to me their determination and hardknocking abilities.
At Three Chimney's I look over:
Rahy: Showing his age these days. A little gray in the face, not quite the spark I hoped to see in his eye. Physically well cared for if a little undermuscled though.
Big Brown: His feet were wrapped with duct tape, gamgee, and vet wrap but he moved out sound. He seems a little stressed but very affable. A little thin and ribby but I'm sure they'll pork him up. Had a little bit of a confused look in his eye, the poor chap. Though I really am not interested in breeding to him, it was worth a look to pet the derby horse.
Point Given: While he was not thrilled with the cold wind up under his tail, he stopped fussing long enough to get a good look at him. He may have my favorite confirmation though his breeding isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Beautiful shoulder, lovely hind end, great eye.
Flower Alley: What a sweetie! He loved the attention, stood like a statue and really is quite well put together for a hunter, though that's not what I'm breeding for! I think he would throw some nice race horses as well. He just doesn't seem to have had any luck just yet. I'm sure it will come. I did so love his personality though, which is something I really take into account!
Pictures soon!
