Hunter/jumper breeders in North America

[hunterrider33]

I know there have been other posts on this but I couldn’t come across anything recent.

I am on the hunt for a 3-5 year old (4 being the ideal age) hunter prospect and want to look in North America, primarily directly from a breeder. Anyone have suggestions on where to look? Canada is definitely in my search and am potentially planning a trip to Ontario in December.

Sending you a PM. I know of a tall 3 y/o gelding, dark bay, just started under saddle. Still owned by the breeder. Holsteiner sire and Han/TB dam.

Aileron Stables on PEI and Slatehill Sporthorses in Nova Scotia are great places to look. Crosby Stables in NS as well, maybe - although they suffered a fire last year and I’m not sure how much they’ve started breeding again and what they have to sell anymore.

None of them keep up their websites terribly well - but well worth a call or email (or maybe facebooks are more current - not sure).

If you’re coming to Ontario, start with W. Charlot Farm: www.charlotfarm.com

They (Augustin) are currently leading the USEF Hunter Breeder rankings (again): https://www.usef.org/_IFrames/pointsAwards/points/leadingBreedersM.aspx?year=2012&section=2000&viewCat=Hunter

I bred my mare to their stallion Cabardino (currently 11th on the USEF leading hunter sires ranking) and LOVE the result at age 3.

I breed a few, but don’t currently have anything that fits your criteria. You might check with Mo Swanson at http://www.rollingstonefarm.com near Allentown, PA. While her primary focus is dressage breeding, she regularly has young prospects that can step into the hunter ring. She would be my first stop if I was looking for a young hunter prospect.

Yes, my barn has a Cabardino gelding and he is spectacular

There are three in this year’s Cups. Over the two qualifiers, one was high-point in the GG, another was high-point in the LG, and the third won both classes at the first qualifier so didn’t bother to show up at the second. It’s going to be a Cabardino Baby showdown at the Royal!

If you are headed to Ontario, I would also check with Elisha Massong and Mountain Creek Sporthorses.
