I need help finding a pony stallion. What better place to come? I’ve bred horses for years, but ponies is a new venture for me, so please bear with me.
I might have the opportunity to breed a Quarter Horse mare this spring. I have been dropping hints to her owner for years, and for whatever reason, she has finally cozied up to the possibility of leasing the mare. For that reason, I cannot actually post a photo yet (which would be supremely helpful, I know), but here’s a description:
15.1 hh, buckskin
(Sky Blue Walker {16 hh} x foundation-bred mare {15.1 hh})
wicked legged at both the trot and the canter; huge step
beautiful jump
Things to improve: she’s a bit plain-headed, her neck ties in a little too deep for my tastes, and she’s a smidgen too long over her top.
I was absolutely smitten with Otteridge Foxtrot, but that’s sadly no longer an option.
Given her size and these conformation deficiencies, what ponies might be best sutied to her. First off, what size pony should I be considering? My immediate thought runs to small, just for safety’s sake. Is this the right approach?
I picked up a Virginia Pony Breeders Association directory at the Pony Finals this year, and I noticed some small stallions in there.
Thoughts on Pengwyn? How tall is he?
Picturesque Formal Attire?
Telynau Gallant? Telynau Masterpiece? Wellen Red Rock?
I just trying to gather information. I appreciate all input.
