Hi all,
I am trying to finalize who I want to breed to for this year and am reaching out for advice/other ideas.
I have a trakehner 13 year old maiden mare by Bonaparte N out of a El Greco TSF mare. She’s a freak of an athlete, scopey, big mover, brave as all get out, smart, sensible, and easy to be around in every way. The only thing is she’s a bit too bloody (76%) and struggles with flat work and finding rhythm and balance in her big gaits. Dressage has always been what holds her back in Eventing. She’s quite narrow and a bit long and weak in the back as well, making her very hard to balance on the flat.
I’m looking to keep her athleticism and most of her blood (as this will be an UL event prospect and some bigger jumper for myself) but looking for to add a bit more bone, structure, ride ability, and balance to her while strengthening and shortening her top line and toning down her expressive gaits a smidge. Would still love something that can be competitive on the flat as well.
She’s maiden and in the US so ideally something fresh would be better but willing to go internationally and frozen for the right stallion. Any suggestions?
TIA
