Question about the comment concerning warmbloods and eventing. I have no clue about the subject but I followed the Olympics last summer, and for interest looked up some of the pedigrees (was going to breed myself). Out of the top 40 horses there was a lot of Irish Draught crosses, obviously TB’s and TB crosses, but there was also a high number of Holsteiner (especially the Ladykiller x Cor), notable CAVALIER ROYALE occurred many times. In fact out of the top 20 he was the most reoccurring stallion. There was many Anglo Arabs and Selle F. There was two Alberta stallions that had horses (give you there info, if you want). Some of the more interesting ones were Ringwould Jaguar - QH x Tb. And Gandalf was a pinto x Tb. Traks were present in some of the pedigrees within 2 generations. I have also read, when looking at lists of Top 20 Jumping stallions (or dressage) that a list of Top 20 Eventing sires was almost impossible because of the wide range of breeding that you see at the top levels of eventing.
It seems to me, especially at the top levels, horses are chosen on their individual ability and not concentrating on a breed or registry. The Irish Draught,( http://www.irishdraught.com/aboutsh/ ) seems like a horse that more recently come about from taking there local talented heavy horse and crossing it with a Tb or any other animal with talent (ironically the same thing that most people gasp at when you get into the discussion of Warmblood definition).
So as your looking for a stallion, is it that easy to dismiss any stallion, just based on breed?
And moreover it seems that a top level eventing horse it more about the individual horse, and training so what are the chances of any one cross creating that top level horse?
Not discouraging you personally, breeding is soo exciting and an experience in it’s own.

This is a full RID! His foals are too young to judge but his temperment is grand and his babies have those looks and that temperment so far! 
I keep my horses at this barn and have no vested interest in Liam!
Someone may have said this before but why not aberjack?
http://www.tamarackhill.com/Stallions/aberjack.htm I know some of his foals and they are lovely horses. . . The grey they have on their website is a cuttie too.

But why, if you’re looking to breed an Advanced eventer, would you breed to a full RID?
You need more than a half-bred to make it to Advanced. Yes, there are exceptions, like Horton’s Point, who Mark Todd rode to victory at Badminton in the 1990s. But they are the exception.
Most horses at top level are 3/4 or 7/8 or full TB. Even 3/4 breds are less common at top level (Caroline Powell’s Lenamore is an exception).
The top eventing stallions consistently produce top eventers. To name a few in the UK/Ireland: Welton Crackerjack, Welton Apollo, Catherston Dazzler, Rock King, Jumbo, Cavalier Royale, Master Imp. Each one of these had mare types he’d match best with.
And yes, once the foal is on the ground, it’s not just a magic carpet ride to success. But a good breeder knows this and puts their youngsters in the right programs. It’s not just coincidence that these horses are successful.
You have a world of choices…
I have an Aberjack mare. I knew the dam well (and have three off spring from her). Aberjack did stamp his head on my mare and added a bit of substance. She is now going Prelim doing well. Very ridable mare. He does cross well on the TBs.
I just bred her half sister (who is a full TB) to Escudo I (at my trainer’s suggestion…a **** level rider/trainer and one who has bred several of his own horses).
http://www.superiorequinesires.com/stallions/escudo_i.htm
He really suited her and is throwing good movers and jumpers. His frozen was outstanding…85% mobility and LOTs of little swimmers. I’ll find out next week if my mare caught. Bonus is that he is apparently getting very popular with the show hunters…so if the foal doesn’t want to be an eventer…that may be a potential other market. I got my semen from classic sires (http://www.lucchettiranch.com/) and I believe they have some in stock.
Another one that made my top list was Jaguar Mail http://www.frenchstallions.org/french_stallion_detail.php?stallion=2007009
He has a lot of blood, good movement…and obviously the jump.
A friend has a new Royal Appereance colt who looks very nice out of a mare similar to yours. http://www.equine.vt.edu/stallions/royalappearance.html
He doesn’t have a lot of foals on the ground but one is already competiting at the Advanced level with Clark Montgomery…and he does have the pedigree to produce good eventers. He is a bit heavier than I like but I do think would cross well with TBs.
Really…you have so many choices and any of them would be a good choice. The dam is a lovely looking girl and I bet would nick well with many boys out there. The UL eventers that I have talked too are not against breeding to warmbloods. Off the top of my head I know several half WB/half TBs that are doing the upper levels successfully. Critical Decision is half dutch (by Consul). Belmont (just easily won the CIC*** at Jersey Fresh and was 5th at Fair Hill CCI***) is also half dutch. And those are just the two that I can quickly think of…So you have a lot of choices and given the importance of movement and jump…the right warmblood crossed with the right TB could really produce and outstanding potential eventer.
There are also very few eventing stallions who have proven themselves with the new format. I specifically asked several breeders of eventers (breeding for UL eventers) whose opinions I respect, whether I should be looking at “eventing” stallions. All of them told me no…given today’s format, they are all breeding more to “dressage” or “jumper” producing stallions. Most actually want Jumper stallions who still throw good movement.
I just happened to be speaking to Christine this morning, and we discussed Miner’s Lamp - his frozen is in very limited supply since he died (and EMCO is sold out of their stock). She said there is a possibility of bringing more over on a prepaid basis but that IF she is able to acquire any more, doses would be very limited indeed.
How Irish is Mackinlaigh (sp?) I am no expert and was just offering up a nice stallion that i am familiar with!
I like this stallion a lot. He produces nice eventers, too. I also liked his sire, Hand in Glove, a lot. A really outstanding TB.
(But he’s off my list as my mare is a little too closely related to Hand in Glove. The resulting pedigree would make people squeamish!)
McKinlaigh is half RID by pedigree, slightly less in blood due to TB behind some of the RIDs (but McKinlaigh is a gelding unfortunately!).
Yeah, I really really like him for an eventer as well…and his TB lines actually nick well with my mare. There would be no line breeding with him at all in the first 5 generations (hard to do that with TBs now a days). My only issue is that my mare is tall and he is tall…so I might end up with one that needs a ladder to get on.
I think that I will end up breeding to him…but I want to see a few more of his babies (there are a few breeders local to me who have bred to him for foals this year)…and see what my mare produces with Escudo as well.
I have a couple of queries about Jaguar Mail. Firstly he’s very tall at 17.1 for an event sire. Most eventers are smaller, 16-16.2hh probably because smaller horses tend to stay sounder. Secondly he’s covered over 1000 mares and is now 12 years old so his oldest offspring should be 7 yet he doesn’t appear on any of the sire lists of winning 5, 6 and 7yo eventers. Perhaps there are good reasons for this but if I had the OPs mare I’d be more likely to choose a proven sire not one who has had many big books of mares with nothing yet to show for it.
Here is the full analysis of eventers that won points in 2008 in the UK and who sired them. Jaguar Mail is conspicuously absent.

[QUOTE=Waterwitch;4107925]
McKinlaigh is half RID by pedigree, slightly less in blood due to TB behind some of the RIDs (but McKinlaigh is a gelding unfortunately!).[/QUOTE]
IIRC, he’s about 5/8ths TB, between 1/2 and 3/4.
But again, the half-bred is not the norm at Advanced eventing.
Do you know that his oldest offspring bred for eventing are 7? 12 is young for a performance stallion. Most of the eventing stallions do not prove themselves until they are OLD. To me, he is a good looking sire. His TB line is a proven jumping line. I reserve my judgement for how good of an eventing sire he is for a few more years. For example…My Aberjack mare is just turning 7 and out of one of his first crops here in the US. Everyone put him down as not producing anything…but just now, his offspring, at least here in the states are making their way up the levels. Several are doing well at the Prelim level this year and in a few years I bet some of them will be at Advanced. But at that point…he will be an old man. Not all horses are ready to run at Prelim (or Novice in the UK) at age 5 or 6 (which I believe is the level you need to be at to earn points). And if we only bred to “proven” horses…how would younger sires become proven. I think you look at your mare (and the offspring they produce) and look at the sire and his pedigree and then look at what traits his offspring seem to have to see if it would be a good match for your mare.
What about Windfall?
Tzigane? He’s competing at Grand Prix.
In the UK there are age classes for young eventers and the results and the breeding are collated. Jaguar Mail does not appear on those lists for 2008. All I’m saying is that I want to wait longer before deciding whether JM is going to be a good event sire. He’s had plenty of foals and to see none of them coming through in the 4,5 or 6yo classes makes me wonder.
I believe Jaguar Mail’s oldest offspring are in France and have done well there.
Jaguar Mail’s sire, the US TB Hand in Glove, was a very large horse. 17.2hh and stout. But he did race as a young horse, then did FEI dressage and showjumping.
If this is true, why are event horse breeders like Denny buying top jumping bred horses as prospective breeding stock? Didn’t he purchase a number of young horses from Fermebeaulieu Farm?
I think you mean Salute The Truth (though he’s by Salutely) 
As has been noted about some other stallions on here, he is still rather “young” - his first crop which is very small, are just now turning 8. He’s got some younger offspring out there now competing and doing well at Preliminary and lots more at Novice and Training. One six-year old just completed his first CCI* with Buck Davidson and will hopefully do more soon. Of course, we’re hoping for several to make it to Advanced - but it hasn’t happened, yet! Thanks for suggesting him, though - we are rather partial to him 
By the way - this is an interesting thread. We’ve got one daughter of Salute The Truth (out of a mare that was full sister to Reputed Testamony) that we are considering breeding and have looked at a lot of the stallions from EMCO. There are several on here we hadn’t looked at, though…I love looking at stallions. The stallion-shopping is nearly as much fun as the foals that result from the breedings!
[QUOTE=Waterwitch;4108034]

Because the youngstock in question have the qualities that would make them good event horses and producers of quality 21st century event horses. Denny knows what he’s doing.
Just to use some obvious examples, King of Diamonds and Cavalier Royale and Touchdown were excellent sires of showjumpers and eventers. But among the youngstock, some would have qualities that would push them in one direction or the other. If a horse has a big jump but hovers over fences and has a canter with a lot of up-and-down, you’d point him toward straight showjumping. If a horse covers the ground well but isn’t as careful or as extreme in jumping ability, you’d make him a derby horse or an eventer. But don’t kid yourself about making the time on that heavy horse who hangs in the air and canters like a dressage horse.
(And just as obvious, if you want a jumper or eventer, than the TB Laurie’s Crusader is not for you. If you want dressage horse from your WB mare, have at it.)
To be successful at Advanced, a horse needs to be able to make the time and recover well enough for the next day. The qualities that allow the horse to do that aren’t a mystery at all. You can breed for them or you can go searching through youngstock to find them. If you’re buying them as breeding stock, you’ll review their pedigree to see if they are what you usually get from those lines.
