I appreciate the feedback! Agreed–this is a roll of the dice for what comes through. My trainer is accustomed to breeding dressage-bred KWPN to dressage-bred KWPN, so her appetite for “unknown” is different than mine but I certainly don’t discount her input!
Mare is jumper bred KWPN (sire is Judgement ISF). Leggy, good bone, approx 17h. Sire is very much to my liking as well–Connemara type with lovely gaits, approved GRP and ISR Oldenburg. But yes, physically very different from each other.
Redbud Ranch has very lovely stock; just nothing available for this year! Definitely in the running though if I opt to shoot for 2024 (or further out). I have talked to some breeders; it seems this is a relatively niche market and in utero sales are relatively common. If that’s inaccurate though, please don’t hesitate to correct me!
