Just wondering if anyone has progeny by Tailormade Temptation (Tuschinski). Looking at a young horse that has flash movement but would love to hear about the trainability from anyone that knows or has one!
I’ve got two! Bought a mare a year ago–athletic, opinionated, hot in a good way, little bit spooky, great mover, very smart. Was schooling all the GP except piaffe when I got her, and I plan to show her at Inter 2 this winter, GP later this year. She’s 11. Dam sire matters, of course. Hers is Don Romantic.
Bought another 3 weeks ago. This one is a gelding, same age, dam sire Don Schufro (Don Romantic’s sire), so they are very similarly bred. I don’t know him as well, obviously, but like him so far. He’s spookier, but not stupid, not as well trained, but very willing. Not as athletic or opinionated. Was interested in him because of my mare. He’s also 11, and knows the one’s, but not piaffe and passage (yet!).
I would say that these are not beginner horses, but if you know how to train, and have a good seat, they are really fun. They are sensitive, and I doubt they would appreciate someone off balance. They are both exceptionally sweet to handle. I found they both had trouble bending through the ribcage and softening to the outside rein.
I have a friend who loves the TT horses so much that she has 3–maybe 4 by now. She just brought her mare out GP. Hope this helps.

What is this horse’s breeding? What registry? Curious minds want to know!
I’ve ridden two. Both were lovely, talented, athletic, spooky horses. One had a screw loose, but I don’t know enough about him to know where/when in his past that came to be.

Here is info on the sire. He is by Tuschinski so Dutch. I usually stick to German lines to avoid the hot but it is flash!

Thanks!!! KrackC isn’t known as a stallion who passes on a very balanced brain. But I can very much see the athleticism in this bloodline and in this stallion. I own a horse with a bit of a screw loose, I’m not interested in breeding/owning another! That’s just me!
PS. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, what a great video!!!

So, my new horse may be one of the “screw loose” types! Had a meltdown today. Luckily, I have a lot of screwdrivers in my toolbox! I would proceed with caution…

I’ve gotta agree on the Krack C comments. I love the athleticism that comes from that line, but they often are not for the faint of heart.
I know someone with a first generation Krack C offspring that is gorgeous, but is not a amateur friendly mount at all. Obviously this is only one part of the genetic makeup, but from my limited experience having seen/known a couple different ones from a Krack C line, it seems to be pretty dominant characteristic to me.

He is out of a Dancier mare so hopefully he will be manageable. We will see!!!
I don’t like his walk. It gets “pacey” when he collects, due to tension.

I thought Krack C was pretty user friendly - being by Flemmingh. I think it is all about the kind of temperment and sensitivity you are seeking and don’t forget the MARE plays a HUGE part as well as past training/experience. I love an edgy, sensitive horse and would LOVE to breed a really good Trakehner mare I have to Zhivago - it would be a spectacular match if I can afford it.
Well I bought the horse and so far he is quite nice. A bit sensitive and spooky but seems quite trainable. Lacks confidence so walks the fence if anything moves but after a few months, starting to settle. Hopefully he starts to fill out because he is built like a 3yo thoroughbred!

Congrats!
I’d bet that he will fill out more. IME most young horses I’ve had really fill out at 6 to 7 years. I do have one that became a tank at 8. Proper dressage training certainly helps!
Use his sensitivity to your advantage. But most of all, have fun with your new horse!
He looks very athletic!
Lovely!!! ❤️
