Hello I have a mare will some bucking/ poor work ethic issues and am wondering if anyone else have had these issues with the stallion Conte della Caccia or his sire Canturo or damsire Corrado I?
The mare is out of the spectacular broodmare Sunshine (Silvio x Dynamo x Akzent II) who competed up to 1.50m and has the sweetest nature on the entire planet. She has had 6 other foals and 2 grandchildren… 4 babies and 2 grandbabies I have had the honor of starting myself so I know what her babies are usually like. Not a single one of these have ever had this issue which is why I think it may stem from the sire side.
Conte has also since been gelded which begs the question as to why?
I am also asking this question because I do like the stallion Canturo and may like to breed Sunshine or one of her other daughters to him… however if rideability is an issue with him I will steer clear!
