Where are the best places to find information when selecting stallions? I’m looking at European dressage stallions in particular, and would really like to know what websites others have found useful.
Where can you find breed values, scores and statistics?
I’ve found a few websites (below) but would really like to know if there are any other good ones out there. Thanks 
I really like the Horse Magazine for info on “the staples”: http://www.horsemagazine.com/thm/great-stallions/
The other source that I find great… you are on one right now! Search you desired stallions name in NA and German breed forums and you will find golden info that will not be in any stallion brochure; semen quality, true offspring temperment, conformation flaws, stallion owner reliability etc. Some posters must be taken with a grain of salt but you can get a good overall picture.
Also watch the non-manufactured video clips of them posted on youtube, generally taken by people in the stands at stallion shows. I find these unedited videos very helpful.
Example: I am interested in a bigger named younger stallion - from watching unedited clips of him on youtube at a stallion show I realized he is in heartbar shoes at the age of 6. Clearly there could be alot of reasons why this is so but that info provides me with valuable knowledge that the mare one might use needs to have a good set of feet.
There was/is a German site for stallion videos that I found a while back on a different computer. Perhaps someone here knows the one I’m talking about. IIRC, it had a rather odd name.
I’ll see if I can fire up the old laptop and find the URL if someone here doesn’t have and share it.
The Dutch KWPN website is invaluable for their stallions with huge amounts of available information, including all their stats.
^ Are you thinking of pro-stallions.com ?
I also utilize the Swedish BLUP and the KWPN linear scores, when applicable.
You should get the stallion video from Paul Schoeckemoehle / PSI. If you email them with a request they will mail you a CD free of charge (note it only plays on a computer).
Thanks for the replies everyone 
Emy - which German forums do you visit? Are they available in English?
Anyone know where I can find the German FN Breed values? It seems the Dutch info is much more easily available, but mostly I’m looking at German stallioins. Thanks.
