Thank goodness…cause Joy’s mama didn’t have the prettiest head!
What is her name? I am apprenticing at River Glen.
I think that Gillian’s two Aberjack x Sportscar daughters will be at Redlands (Dirt Bike and Motocross)

Dekorum. Michael Pollard is riding.
But just to clarify, she is not by Aberjack! She’s by Catherston Dazzler. (This is a stallion who really stamps his offspring. They all look alike.)
(BTW, my mare’s half-sister – same TB dam – by Heroicity is going to be the token TB at the Rolex FEH Demo. :))
Oh just kidding!! That’s what I get for posting while watching TV! :lol: She is lovely.
Oh, the mare that Andrea Leatherman rode! Lovely lovely horse.

Not sure if anyone is still looking but Poplar Place Farm in Hamilton, GA has an Aberjack baby for sale. Just look at http://www.poplarplacefarm.com/forsale.html
YEE HAW!!! He looks quite full of himself.
A reminder: no links to/specifics about horses available for sale, regardless of who owns them. We removed a couple of posts.
Thanks!

David O`Connor??
Has David un-retired? He seems to have won a novice division at the Florida event yesterday on an Aberjack baby.
DOC’s become a smurf… he’s been competing Crackerjack in Ocala this winter.

So she did her first Prelim this weekend at River Glen…
…and won!
(She’s also a really sweet-tempered mare. I know for a fact she didn’t get this from her mother…)
What I saw of her looked great!
We finally had a break in the weather and I got to school my Aberjack daughter x-c. This was only her second time on x-c course (the other time was last November) and she was SO quiet and fun. A couple pics:
Very cute mare. She looks like a lot of fun.
(Nice round barrel too – I like the ones who are just as comfortable bareback. :))
Thanks. That barrel is a blessing because it takes up my 5’11" leg and it lets the saddles I got for her 17 hand warmblood half-bro fit her.

Count me in as another non-fan of Aberjack. Agree that he looks like he’s made from spare parts, don’t like the neck/shoulder that the conformation picture seems to obscure, don’t like the long pasterns. He does, however, come from a very successful line of event horses. I just don’t get what Mark Todd thinks is so great about him; I much prefer Mark Todd’s other stallion, Mayhill, who stands in the UK.

I agree wholeheartedly. I think that Aberjack rarely improves on the mare; and he has been bred to a TON of top quality mares over the years and given that, his record really isn’t that great. There should be many MANY top winners sired by him, given the sheer numbers and the fact that everyone who could afford the stud fee went to him with their best mares.
ETA: that is not to say that there aren’t some lovely offspring out there… I am talking more about producing *** and **** winners. And Denny Emerson does have the best stallions, so if I had a mare, I would most definitely be sending him videos/pics to decide on breeding. 
This thread is 5 years old. Last I heard, Aberjack was in California and not terribly fertile, to be polite. He’s definitely not with Denny… is he even still alive?

If you want to be technical it’s 13 years old.
