Dressage preferably
Our Rubignon filly is ultra-wonderful, our Harvard filly is stellar, a Pablo filly, and we had two Rosenthals that were super… but our mares are really quiet and sweet and therefore the babies are normally all easy, so it’s hard to say, just mentioning the ones that come to mind that were above and beyond/notably good.
The R and D lines are known for their great dispositions.
My personal favorites are Pablo and Bugatti Hilltop. I’ve had super luck with them. I’ve had 2 Pablo colts that have always been barn favorites where ever they go. Same with my Bugatti Hilltop stallion Bravo and I’ve heard the same about other Bugatti offspring.
My Bugatti colts are out of a very hot and sensitive mare (the mare does have a good temperament herself). They are both extremely laid back and easy to deal with.
My Rubignon filly is a dollbaby, quiet, super friendly and takes everything in stride. Easy peasy.
Fabuleux. There is no reason my 5 year old should put up with my ridiculous ammy mistakes and come back time and time again with a smile on his face. But he does!

our Harvard filly is stellar[/QUOTE]
I love Harvard. He is on my short list for my sensitive Don Frederico mare next spring.
Bugatti and Royal Prince from personal experience and also time and again they both get mentioned when breeders talk about offspring that are easy to start with good work ethics.
I don’t know if I have ever seen a stallion that stamps his offspring as much as Royal Prince, and I have yet to see a bad horse by him, or hear a bad word.
Widmark, hands down. I’ve used several of the stallions mentioned, but can’t think of one that passes on great disposition and rideability like Widmark does. A stamper.
Rubignon
Escudo II
Fabuleux
Bugatti Hilltop
&
Rubino Bellissimo
All of the foals from thses stallions that I have seen have had stellar dispositions and have been lovely ammy friendly dressage horses.
I also like Rotspon, Pablo and Domiro as I have seen and have friends who have wonderful dressage horses by these stallion too.
Widmark and Dauphin. I have never seen an easier young horse to start and ride undersaddle, and the Dauphin filly is an old soul in a young body.

Stallions with Rubinstein, Argentinus, Landadel, Feurst Henrich, Donnerhall. And I like the Belissimo’s but do not have direct under saddle info to comment on (-: The first three are my favorites.
Agree with others that the Rubinstein and Donnerhall lines are known for good temperaments, but don’t forget the mare’s contribution. Even a very solid-minded stallion sometimes can’t overcome a witchy mare temperament.
All the stallion’s mentioned are dam sires of my mares. Stallions are always secondary to the mares. Just how it works in the real world (-:
Bugatti Had 5 foals from this mare and the Bugatti is the most laid back
Freestyle, from Dreamscape Farm. All of his babies are reknown for being super personalities and people oriented. I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old from the same mare that I wanted to improve on in a more rideable temperament. They are very easy to work with in all ways and just loves. They come running to you in a pasture from far away no matter how long it’s been and are big huggers. They love to have their faces held and hugged. I haven’t been riding the 3 1/2 year old, but been on her and working her every which way, and it’s all so easy. You also have those valuable Floriano performance lines.
