Eventing or jumper stallion for my mare

[Xanthoria]

This is purely theoretical fun, as my mare is competing at age 8 and I hope she continues for a long time!

She is jumper bred, and true to her SF background is pretty hot, but careful with lots of jump. Full brother a year older is doing 1.45m, half sister 1.60m, sire did 1.50m etc.

She is very sweet and pulls no tricks under saddle, but if I could improve her at all she’s not easy at all in the contact and quite tense, and her trot also lacks suspension so we do poorly there. I would also prefer a non grey (she is grey but I believe she’s heterozygous for grey). Ideal baby is 16.2 like her.

Would Diarado be an idea? What does he bring to the table?

This is the pedigree

My friend just had a nice foal by his son Duplexx. They were looking for something not too big with a lot of blood to produce an eventer…

Look at Gentleman FRH.

That horse is really interesting! I can’t find much about his competition career tho - Horsetelex says “ 1.40m Jump. PSG/Inter I CCI2*” but FEI says he did one CCI1*-Intro in 2022.

I saw him as a young horse at the Hano licensing in 2017. It’s a cool pedigree. There is frozen available for the USA.

I just saw a video of one of his bundeschampionat wins a few years back. Beautiful mover, beautiful jumper, beautiful horse. Now I certainly do not know enough about jumper lines to tell you if he will click with your mare’s bloodlines but if I was looking for a mid level event horse or all rounder I would certainly consider him. I do not know if he has enough blood for a heavier mare to produce a five star horse. I believe Chris Talley showed a daughter of his at Devon - “Gina” although I think it was in the dressage show.
