I’m thinking about breeding my mare, who is a 12 year old Canadian Warmblood (Hannoverian and Westfalen lines). She is big and athletic. The biggest flaw is that she can be spooky and nervous, so my #1 thing I’m looking for is a great, quiet brain.
A few people suggested breeding her to a nice athletic stock-horse type to help quiet the mind, and I don’t hate that idea. I do the jumpers, but I don’t have grand illusions of getting into the GP ring anymore. I’d love the baby to be easier and more straightforward than she’s been over being an athletic freak. I’d found a palomino stud that did the jumpers that was really nice, but I can’t find him anymore.
I’m open to warmblood ideas, too. I’m new to this part of the game, so feel free to ask for whatever info I’ve missed giving!
My mare is 17h, and I don’t really want something bigger, so the huge stallions are out.
