Hello, breeder friends. After a number of years of very upsetting financial and emotional breeding losses we took some time off. However, I’m starting to feel my way around this year and am contemplating breeding one or two of our special mares. I’m a bit out of the loop though! I’ve made a list of stallions but know that I am missing some…
Can you fill me in on the new (young, recently imported, newly available, etc) jumper stallions available fresh in NA that I may not have heard of yet (while away licking wounds ???). I am pretty dedicated to my Holsteiners but can be swayed by a top sire from a top motherline. We only breed with mares and stallions whose mothers or maternal grandmothers and/or maternal great grandmothers have had successful offspring in both sport (to at least 1.50m) and breeding.
I’m looking to sell the foal from one mare so need a marketable stallion as well. The other mare is already in great demand but will be keeping a filly.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
