Indoctro and Ahorn - What do they bring to the table?

[HyperionStudLLC]

I have only one response… Imothep (Indoctro x Calvados x Dominard).

Jumping Grand Prix, top placings in World Cup Qualifiers and 1.50m Grand Prixs. Yes I am the proud owner, but what sets him aside from many other Indoctros is his breeding performance. He now has 3 champion colts and he is approved by several registries. Offspring are young and only now coming into sport. He is showing to be one of Indoctros best sons for show jumping. He is a wonderful and easy stallion to work with in all aspects and so are his offspring.

My 2 cents :0)

Cheers!

Congratulations on the success of your stallion Hyperion, and continued best wishes to him and you.

We have 2 by Indoctro in the barn. My stallion is by Indoctro out of mare by Landgold Jmen. Just turning 4. 16.1, looks much bigger. LOTS of bone and takes up a lot of leg. Big sweeping trot, huge round canter, lovely jump. Very, very easy to handle on the ground, incredibly balanced, very balanced (offering up flying changes his first week under saddle). He is the easiest horse I’ve ever seen to be put under saddle. BUT he has an opinion and is very, very, very stubborn. If you don’t treat him fairly, he will just plant his feet and say no.

We had a mare by Indoctro out of a Pilot II mare, turning 7. Couldn’t be any more different than my stallion (with the exception of having the same fantastic jump). Very typey looking - looked like she had a lot of blood. Super catty over the fences. Sensitive to handle and required a very tactful ride. A little bit spooky.

I will say what I know of Indoctros is they usually have amazing jumps and they usually have opinions ;

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again too - I’ve seen Indoctro offspring that cover the entire spectrum and that the dam really does influence the equation! They can be spooky, they can be careful, they can be laid back, they can be tall, they can be short, they can be pretty, they can be heavy - hunter, jumpers, eventers, dressage…

An example of those I’ve ridden:
(1) Indoctro x Nimmerdor mare: very tall, but solidly built - ammy friendly to a fault - now at 17, she is a retired broodmare.
(2) Indoctro x Wolgang gelding: tall but narrow in build - an experienced ammy/pro ride - jumped grand prixs with a pro - now at 18 still jumping Grand Prixs with an ammy.
(3) Indoctro x Navarone mare: average size, beautiful in appreance - more of a pro ride - at 8, just moving into the 1.45m.
(4) Indoctro x ? mare: short mare, front and hind end did not match - had a tendency to spin away from oncoming horses… lost track of her…

I’ve known 3 Ahorns, but never rode them myself - one was a total pain in the ass both on the ground and under tack, the other would be best described as ‘neurotic’ and the third was a decent individual who worked hard and was really successful up to 1.45m…

Thank you! He is such a cool horse or should I say athlete.

He is like a timex watch…he takes a licking (ie the jumps get bigger and courses get more difficult), and he keeps on ticking!

Exciting to see him grow and develop into a mature sport horse, but also see that gives his offspring the best of himself. THAT is the mark of a great horse! Now what remains to be seen is how his offspring perform and that will take several years. A slow process but I think worth the wait.

Indoctro has proven time and time again to produce horses for many. They are seen in the children’s jumper ring all the way into the upper levels of competition. So versatile he is, and that is the make of a GREAT horse.

Indoctro is a strong progenitor of horses for every type rider and every level rider. It is astounding to see such versatility coming from one stallion.

An athlete siring versatile athletes it sounds to me.

Thank you to Hyperion, nycjumper (LOVE your location!) and mikali for your input and information.
Mikali, I’m wondering where that 17yr old mare is now - can you PM me?

The mare I am breeding is a full TB, full sister to a winning GP jumper and Advanced event horse. A daughter of A Fine Romance she is very much like him, but a little longer, a little rangier (like her wonderful dam). She is very athletic, with a huge jump, great canter and wonderful mind.

I lost her dam, my dear Macassa, a few weeks ago, and am heartbroken. This filly was always special to me, and now, as Macassa’s only daughter, even more precious.

I am excited about this foal, and just pray that everything goes well.

Mikali- that has been my experience as well- Indoctro’s can be all over the map and very influenced by dam. I have ridden tall, small, uphill, downhill, bloody, cold, ect. For example, I had a 15.3 h slightly downhill, hot and crazy scopey 1.40 mare and a 17.1 h uphill, cold equitation horse both sired by Indoctro but from very different dam lines. All are athletic and quality! But, I think it is hard to get a feel for what he will produce since he does not seem, in my limited experience, to stamp a type.
