Tell me about your Heartbreaker babies.
Did you breed or buy them?
How old are they, and what are they currently doing?
Tell me about the dams breeding.
We have a Heartbreaker mare that we purchased several years ago (bred by the Nijhof Stud who owns Heartbreaker) who at the time was under saddle. When she arrived (age 13), I rode and jumped her for the first year that she was with us to get a “feel” for her strengths and weaknesses to give me more insight into what she would produce.
I found her very rideable on the flat (having been trained in Dressage), but over fences if I were to get into a fight with her, I had better be in a position to win the fight. Or, to avoid a fight all together, I would have to make her think that it was her idea.
In general, I found her very brave, very eager to jump, but quite stubborn. Definitely not hot, more of a push ride, but not overly dull either. Her dam’s bloodlines are Ramiro x Uppercut xx. She could use a bit more elasticity and quickness in the foreleg over fences, she has good scope and a very balanced canter (Free jumping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROs5QTFRWmM)
I hope this helps a bit!
I appreciate the feedback! I recently purchased a young Heartbreaker mare (Rio Grande is the dams sire). I have been around more diluted Heartbreaker’s but nothing actually by him directly.
I read a lot about them being a bit quirky.
