He is beautiful! I keep noticing how low set his hocks are and what a big engine he has. Congratulations!
I am very glad you like him Vineyridge!

Nothing to add - but that he looks a lot like many of my stallion’s foals. He’s an Indian Ridge son as well 
Nice foals.
In Europe Ahonoora (like Danzig and Red Ransom) is a line for speedy horses. And especially Indian Ridge is. I am hoping hard that my colt will be level when fully grown and not downhill! Because he comes from speed lines and those often tend to be downhill. However his sire and dam are both level and not downhill.
Does anyone know what the results are form this research:

I am wondering if my TB youngster has many of those lines.

It looks as if the journal of publication is actually German. If you know someone who has scholar’s access to German journals, you can probably get the article. Then all you’d have to do is be able to read scientific German.
That should not be a problem. I am Dutch and I learned French, English and German at school.
Most Dutch people learn at least English and many learn French and/or German.
I snagged the paper (and it’s in English); pm me your email address if you’d like it.
Hazelnut, would you send it to me as well? My email address should be in my profile.

Great! I will pm you my e-mail address.

Although there are not a lot of active sporthorses from the Ahonoora line, there are National Hunt horses from the line:

Is that a good thing with regard to possible show jumping ability?
There are hurdlers and chasers. Almost any horse can learn to hurdle, because the jumps are brush and the horses don’t have to put out much jumping effort to clear them. They can just brush through them. They jump out of stride, rather flat, and “go low”.
Chasers on the other hand have to actually jump the fences. In the UK and Ireland, horses start as hurdlers and move on up to chasing if they have the jumping talent. Timber horses–and I’m not sure that they timber race anywhere but the US–REALLY have to jump and have been very successful lines for event horses. Sir Gaylord has been a wonderful line for UK/Irish chasers, eventers, and (IIRC) US timber horses.
Both the horses you posted are too young to have made it to chasing yet.
However, it may be doubtful that chasing and show jumping go together. The only line that I am certain was successful at producing both was Ksar. But I haven’t done any research on this.
For a long time the Brits used TBs for showjumping, just as the US did. Maybe some research into their sj stars would show crossover. The courses have changed since those days to favor WBs, just as eventing has.

Thank you, Viney.
Okay, I just have to be patient and see if he can jump well when he is old enough to try him.

I found a timber horse by Indian Ridge:

I consider that a good sign.
