Fun And Fancy Free - Thoroughbred Stallion

[lb2005]

I am very enchanted with this stallion--seems like one of the few hunter-type Thoroughbreds around anymore. I've visited the Web site but was wondering if anyone else had offspring by him and what they were like. Photographs, please. Thanks for the time.

I know Ladybug Hill does. She should weigh in soon. She likes him a bunch. She had a baby by him that did well on the line.

We had a filly by him in the barn a few years ago. She was lovely. I really like this stallion.

His owner is completely devoted to him, and to breeding quality TB and TB cross hunters. She is really nice.

I have had 3 by him. And I do the webpage (for free because I believe in what Joan is doing).

The offspring tend to be large, big boned with big feet. Mine have had nice long arching necks. Canters tend to be better than their trots. Bold temperaments--will tend to walk up to whatever scares them rather than bolting away. Bold jumpers.

Joan would love to show off her babies. You might find something there that is not listed on the webpage. Joan doesn't really "do" the internet so it is hard for me to keep it up to date. Her prices are very very good so go look and see what she has for sale.

My two are on my webpage: Fancy Edition and Apollo's Gold Gem. The third that I sold as a foal is "Three out of Four" on Joan's webpage under progeny.

Feel free to message me with specific answers. I am not on here much so you can also email me using the email on my webpage.

I really like Fun and Fancy Free, he is definitely one I would select for a warmblood mare.

Hm ... have never heard of him but am glad I have now. :yes: I love his look and even moreso his pedigree, particularly since I adore Tom Fool in hunter lines and my Alla'Czar daughter has TF up close in her pedigree, too.

I'm **guessing** that the most any resultant foal between my WB mare and him would get would be a certificate of pedigree and I certainly can and will contact the SO to confirm, but does anyone know offhand if he is in the OLD/ISR book??

I honestly don't care, since I breed to keep, but still ... one likes to know one's options. ;)

Not sure about registries, but Mrs. Fox is so knowedgeable and helpful, it wouldn't hurt to ask. I have seen him in person... he is gorgeous, very WB-looky and also super quiet and gentlemanly.

I like him a lot also. But he is NOT WB-looky; he is very TB looky in the old school way. WBs today just happen to look a lot like TBs. ;)

I saw a foal by him out of an RID mare a few years ago. Haven't seen her again to know how she matured, but she was a good looking baby - nice cross.

We have a wonderful bold happy attitude filly by this stallion. Eager to see how she does. So far, sensible xlnt manners. Should be tall and good bone. Dam 17.1
Jumper. Let's get some shared pix. Will be loading on our web site soon!
Any one out there have some pix to share? This is a Great stallion!

My 4 year old mare is shown on my webpage--Apollo's Gold Gem. She had her first foal just this month by Don Alfredo. Very very nice colt. I don't have pics up yet.

We have a lovely tall 18 month old filly by this sire Fun and Fancy Free- love his classic hunter bloodlines- the fillys dam is a lovely 17.1 hunter jumper and steeplechase eventor - she just came back with five ribbons five classes at Prado Equestrian Center, but our March 2010 filly from him is one extra for us right now.

Are there still interesed people out there these days with this awful economy still looking for youngsters from this wonderful classic hunter stallion or is the market just plain anti youngster now?
Is there anyone out there who's had luck placing his foals? With so many finished horses going cheap who are already proficient - we are not sure what to do. Any ideas where to post her? Is there any fan club for Fun and Fancy Free?

Yes, well said. She is quite bold and fearless

I LOVE this stallion ! We have a lovely tall 18 month old filly by this sire Fun and Fancy Free- love his classic hunter bloodlines- the fillys dam is also nice hunter jumper and steeplechase eventor - she just came back with five ribbons five classes at Prado Equestrian Center, but our March 2010 filly from him is one extra for us right now. Anyone see trends on youngsters?

Are there still interesed people out there these days with this awful economy still looking for youngsters and especially youngsters from this wonderful classic hunter stallion or is the market just plain anti youngster now?

Is there anyone out there with some advice on where to look for interest? With so many H/J finished horses going cheap who are already proficient - her future is up for reveiw. Any ideas where to post her or lease her ? Is there any fan club for Fun and Fancy Free?
