I can add some in the Trakehner department.[/QUOTE]
Maren – that is very valuable information; thanks for posting, and providing so much detail. If you have the information handy, can you elaborate as to which of the stallions you discuss are available in North America? I know that you indicated that some were; are there any that are not at this point?
Thanks again!

And… While we are there 
What about Titulus, who had 2 sons qualified and competed at this year Budenschampionats?[/QUOTE]
@ Spike: I saw them both at the German Bundeschampionat. Both were qualified in eventing. Tiberius (out of Beg XX mare) won the first two classes. Tiberius is a young eventer and we will heard a lot of him the next years. I’m not alone with that opinion the head coach for the German evnting rider said the same at a comment.

And the best for you… Titulus is in the States. 
Where is he now?
He’s not listed on Victory Rose anymore.
Behrens still is. I wish I had a million broodmares!

oh!
here is his new site:
http://www.bredtojump.com/cometshine.html
I do wonder if C. Comet was a product of his mom? Be nice to see other kids from this stallion.
Also,
I read in my COTH last night that two of the YEH TBs were by Coloney Keys.
I could not find him this morning via google though…
Yes, my bad, Titulus for SURE on this list. His sire line is the mentioned kasparow - Sixtus - Habicht mix, his dam line (Trude) is small, but has several M and S level show jumpers to its name (that’s 1.35-1.45m). Titulus didn’t have a huge mare book in Germany for the few years he was there, but certainly produced really good sport horses, and not only horses with jump - he moves well and his get do too.
Kostolany: mostly because there really aren’t that many eventers for a stallion with this type of production record. Granted, he was mostly bred to dressage mares, but I would rather pick a grand son of his like Kasparow to get my hands on Habicht blood than run with Kosto himself. There is frozen semen in the US, and he certainly has been a wonderful match for TB mares in the past, so there’s that.
I would have to look in more detail regarding the availability of these stallions. North America certainly has several that are excellent choices (and also already on the list :-).
Maren: Titulus has some frozen semen available as we speak stored both in the USA and Canada. 
Next year, he might also be available via fresh semen. He was competing level 5 (4ft) and has now moved on to Level 6 (4ft3), with an amateur rider with good results and placings, like ATA Adult Amateur HOY Reserve-Champion in 2010. I know his owner is looking foward to offer good deals for high quality MMB mares next season. I plan to take advantage of it for at least one of my mares :). I am mostly a dressage fan, but from what I’ve seen so far of his get, and despite his young age, Titulus seems to pass on some very nice, versatile qualities, great for eventing breeding I would say.
Now in FAQs
I have collected a number of 2010-2011 threads on eventing breeding in the FAQs section, including this one. If I have missed anything substantial, please let me know and I will edit it.
There is a note, don’t know from how long ago, that Koyuna in Australia still had some frozen from Brilliant Invader. Don’t know if it could be exported, but Brilliant Invader was the sire of Ready Teddy and the current Koyuna Sun Dancer, among others.
He’s one of the greats

Wow I had no idea there was any frozen from Brilliant Invader. Very interesting!
I’ve finally had chance to read through you list properly and have a few names to add.
First is Mill Law, mostly TB with a splash of Arab. He’s an Advanced eventer himself and has sired Advanced eventers. Lovely stallion with a super temperament. Last year he was the top sire of 5 and 6yo eventers in the UK by a long way.
Chilli Morning, top ranked eventing stallion currently competing. Advanced and competing 3***, expected to go 4**** very soon. Another lovely stallion with a great temperament. Bigger and rangier than Mill Law. Younger so not as proven as a sire but very popular.
Next is Take it 2 the Limit. Another Advanced eventer, second ranked eventing stallion currently competing. I haven’t seen this one in the flesh yet but he lives part of the time at an equestrian college and is handled by students so he should be a nice, kind stallion too.
Opposition Heracles. By Fleetwater Opposition and an Advanced eventer in his own right, 3rd placed on the list of stallions currently competing.
Glenhill Gold. 4th place in the list of competing stallions. Tobiano. Don’t know anything more about him. Advanced.
Jigilo. A son of the great Jumbo. 5th place. Lovely stallion with super temperament. Advanced.
Wish Upon A Star. Interesting breeding on this one, he is by Totilas’ sire Gribaldi. Lovely looking chestnut with a good jump and good movement. Very popular as a sire over here. 6th on the list of currently competing stallions. Advanced.
Wickstead Didgeridoo. By Mark Todd’s Olympic partner Mayhill. 7th on the list. Advanced. Don’t know any more about him.
Up With The Lark. By Welton Apollo. 8th on the list. Advanced. Full TB. Lovely mover.
Others of note are Primitive Faerie Tale. By the great Primitive Rising out of a Ben Faerie mare. He’s lightly competed but is Advanced and winning 2**. Hasn’t been used much as a stallion yet.
One I’d love to track down is Mr Spiritus. He’s by Miner’s Lamp out of Elektra Spiritus who was an Advanced Eventer herself and she was by the fabulous Master Spiritus. I can’t find him standing at stud… yet.
An up and coming superstar is Mister Maccondy. He is by Accondy and has done incredibly well in competitions winning the 5yo championships. He failed his stallion grading but I don’t put any weight on that at all. Chilli Morning failed his grading too on front leg conformation and then went on to be a top class international eventer. There can’t be much wrong with those legs if they can stand that amount of wear and tear! Chilli Morning has now been accepted into the stud book and I expect Mister Maccondy will be in a couple of years too. There’s a lot of unease about the way stallions are selected for the studbook that turned those two down. They seem to like stallions suitable for showing but turn down stallions suitable for sport. IMHO that’s called getting your priorities wrong!
Per NED, he had two foals in 2009 and one more in 2010. He is owned by Anna Hilton in the UK and according to her website, she is standing him to a limited number of mares.

Thanks! Again, so that the information is out there, do you know if any of the stallions you reference are available via frozen in North America?
I once saw Kasparow when he used to be stabled close to my home. Wonderful horse, the most wonderful character and temperament. Beautiful to look at and a good performer. At the stables where my gelding is stabled a mare is pregnant by Kasparow.
Thanks Viney.
Peregrine Farm I honestly don’t know.
The most proven of all the stallions listed is Mill Law. If there was enough demand for frozen in the US they are likely to put him through the right sort of quarantine to be able to collect and freeze him for the US market. It may be worth giving them a ring and see what they say. I’d be shocked if Mill Law wasn’t a big name eventing sire in the next 10 years (by which time he’ll have passed away as he’s a 1992 model).
I heard that he was going to be available next year in the US. Hopefully that is true.
It is highly unlikely that Mill Law will have frozen semen available in the US next year. I had actually arranged to have import and sell his semen here a few years ago, but at that point his semen did not freeze well enough to be commercially sold. I suppose it’s possible that with changes in technology, they’ve found a different extender, etc., that works for him, but he’s also older…so it’s unlikely.
You can remove Jumbo from the list completely, as there is not any semen available for the US market. Sadly, it was very hard to sell his semen in the US when it first was available here (2004 or 2005, I think), and by the time people started catching on, he was too old to freeze well again. I spoke with his owner a few years ago about whether it would be financially sound to offer one of Jumbo’s sons in the US, and at that time we decided to wait until they had offspring competing at top levels, based upon the lack of interest in Jumbo.
I was approached several years ago about bringing semen over for Chilli Morning, but recommended against it because he was unlicensed at that point and competing at Intermediate, with very few offspring.
Future Illusion could be in the Trakehner category as easily as the TB category, since he’s 50% Trakehner.
Catherston Springsteen should be moved to the European Warmbloods category, as he’s less than 50% TB.
Great list…good job with it.

I am not sure if all of these have already been mentioned:

Update on Laurel by Stan the Man xx - frozen semen is available for the US, but not yet imported.
Thanks for the updates!
Maren – any word yet on who will be handling Laurel in the U.S.?
Young Stallion-Accolade
I might add the young Sweedish stallion Accolade to this list
http://www.coyotecreekfarm.net/Accolade.html
He won the 4 year old YEH competition and then spent the last two years abroad with his owner in England competing through the CCI 1* level. He just arrived back on US soil last week with his owner/rider and plans are to move up to intermediate in the spring.
Great young horse with a lot of promise. He has one foal on the ground owned by Kyle and Jen Carter and frozen semen is available right now here in US and England…not sure what other breeding options will be available in the future but I am sure there will be others.

It’s very easy to import your own. No need for a US middleman.
