I bred my Contucci mare to Qredit, for a Dressage foal. That may not be the best option for you, since your mare is so tall. Donarweiss may be a nice option, as he has jumping talent and is right...

Wamberto's oldest foals are 3 this year--obviously too young to be competing in jumping. I don't think many people breed to Rousseau for his jumping ability. My initial comment was directed to the...

Right, but what does that have to do with his jumping ability? Just because he hasn't been out showing, doesn't mean that he loses the ability he has. I'm not talking about show experience. Even...

This was your original post (emphasis mine).

I am not a "dressage folk." I have a jumping backround. I did not imply that a jumper breeder would use Wamberto, I just meant that he is a talented...

Actually, Wamberto (Rousseau - Voltaire - Dutchboy) is quite a good jumper. He is managed by the Hasslers.

My big, heavy mare (who is my broodmare, her head is huge and noble) is the lightest horse I have ridden. She is nicely light in my hand. I absolutely love her.

Yes, I third attending inspections. I, too, have been very impressed with AHS. I am the PA host, and welcome anyone to attend. You will very likely walk away learning something valuable.

I love Rumirell's dam line :)

I have repeated crosses before. I am expecting 2 repeats this year (a full sibling to Donatella and a full sibling to Ramora). I stop repeating crosses when I see...

I will second Tantris, and also add Lagoheidor

Bugatti, for sure.

That is hysterical! :lol:

I tried feeding my own custom blend, and found it to be more expensive than even the most expensive premium feeds.

My yearling and two-year-old colts have all tried this at some point. I don't elbow them, smack them, push in to them, etc., because I feel as though that encourages the behavior. It becomes a...

One of my mares had post foaling bleeding that only lasted a few minutes. When it first started, it bled pretty fast, but not a large volume (considering she is a 1300# + mare). It quickly slowed...

She is beautiful! Congrats!

I would definitely add fat, like rice bran, if he's already getting the recommended amount of feed. I would also make sure he's getting a high quality feed that is made for young, growing horses...

Buckeye's Cadence Ultra

I chose "other," because my most important factor is production history. Yes, I have bred maidens before (and choose maidens mostly based on pedigree/conformation/movement), but if they produce...

I know Lago and have seen his babies. They are all so trainable! He is a polite gentleman and super athletic, a dual talent. Sharon is a great person, too.

This, and don't forget to follow the walk with all of your joints, especially your elbows. Make sure your horse is forward.

Yes, treat for ulcers.

I would try Fibregized or Fibregrized Omega since you can get Pennfield. Horses seem to really love it.

This, although the leg yield is a straightening exercise, so you use inside flexion, not bending. The horse's body should be straight.

Depending on the level of the rider, you could have them ride the w/t/c in "legs away position," without reins. That is especially good for riders who grip with their legs.

It just goes to show you how different people are! I have ridden in several and I hated every single one of them! I found them uncomfortable and some of them made my back hurt. I much prefer my...
