Cross Posting-Hunter Stallion stuggestions/mare question.

[TatteredDaydreamer]

Would love to hear what everyone thinks about breeding an older mare. Would be breeding for a personal riding horse.

I have a lovely, 19 year old Trakehner mare that I’m considering breeding late this summer or early next spring. She’s had a foal at 3 in Germany, and her former owner did an embryo transfer on her when she was competing. She’s apparently a fabulous mom. She’s a 17.1hh, chestnut Trakehner mare. Evented up to Prelim in her teens with former owner. Very athletic, beautiful mover, wonderful work ethic and is naturally forward. If the vet gave her a green light, would you have any reservations breeding her at this age?

Here’s her pedigree:

It seems as though I’m unable to add any photos, but can provide some if you PM me.

I’d like to breed her to a stallion that improves her step a bit, improves her form over fences, and is known to produce very quiet, ammy friendly temperaments. She can be a bit hot and reactive but not unmanageable. Stallion will need to be large as well, and any bling is a plus, mare is solid chestnut. Amazing is currently at the top of my list. Would be breeding for a hunter. Interested in hearing your suggestions!

depends on what you’d like.
for an eventer, jaguar mail sounds lovely,
for a show jumper, try a son of/or balou du rouet.
for dressage, try negro or quarterback.
for a hunter, try cabardino, cunningham, apiro, redwine or lordanos.
