Hey guys!
I have a very lovely 7yo mare by Chacco-Blue who we are considering putting in foal. Below is her pedigree.

She is well built, somewhat small, probably about 16hh now. But we dont mind the smaller framed horse so thats not an issue. She is a late machurer and struggles with how big her movements are. Got a very very scopey and brave jump on her but is a little slow in her reactions. Temperament wise she is the easiest youngster you will ever meet, not spooky at all, think in the whole time we have had her she bucked once after a month off? She was an embryo transfer herself and recipient mare was a draught, so we think that lovely attitude must of rubbed off!
We event and aim to breed an eventer for the future. I would like to add a little more uphill built to her and more curve in her back over a jump. Temperament wise we can afford something sharper (and would actually like to add a bit of sharpness) as she is just a little too laid back. So ideally looking at a show jumper with better than average movement but who is still quite high %tb.
So far Diarado, Chaman, Herald III and Royaldik are on my list for her. Love the look of Contendro I but i dont think he would add blood to her and they might be a little too closely related through Contender. I am not experienced enough to linebreed. But I am only starting her pairing and I am open to suggestions and advice!
We are based in UK, so have great availability of semen from Europe which does make this in theory easier!
Thanks in advance for all your help and ideas
Annie.
