A few suggestions re Knabstruppers!
HI Guys,
Coming in late!
Halifax has been gelded but I do have frozen semen from him, so if you are interested in him, PM me.
I have seen Lindegaards Elliot free jump (he is only 3 yrs old), and I have seen Colorado and Ecuador jump, all 3 of them are excellent jumpers. Elliot has some real power and scope.
Of the 3, Ecuador (frozen only) and Elliot are both few spots and will give you the highest chance of spots on a solid mare.
But any of those 3 stallions will give you a nice foal, Colorado and Elliot have the advantage of being physically present in the USA, and thus you can use cooled shipped semen. All 3 are modern types and fairly light weight and elegant.
Halifax is a powerful tank, super mind, lots of bone, and great cross on a TB, but might be too heavy if your mare is chunky.
Pegasus is also a few spot, and has a fantastic canter, I have 3 daughters of his, and 2 of them are really good jumpers, the 3 rd has never been ridden or jumped due to injury.
Celeborn is by Ravaldi, who was a jumper in Europe in his day, out of a really high class Hannoverian mare by Dauphin, Celeborn is a super mover and jumps well, but he is not in the class of Colorado or Elliot. He is also only 3 yrs old, so things may yet improve. Ravaldi has a son who has evented thru Training level right here in the USA, CCS Boromir.
So of course I second the idea of using a Knabstrupper for your mare. Let me know if I can help.
