Since it’s just dreaming, I’ll play-
I just saw Jaguar Mail on Hilltop’s site, and I’d like to try him with my AFR mare (but not until she’s proven herself a little bit more) for eventing
Hopefully Fred will agree with my choice;)!
Yes sorry I meant only Hohenstein was deceased, leaving behind some very poor frozen semen for us dreamers:(
Maren, unfortunately my wallet was already sucked dry trying to breed to Hohenstein.
Moose Trail, I can’t even tell you how jealous I am about having BOTH a Hohenstein daughter AND a DeNiro daughter!! You are lucky indeed. Please keep me informed about any daughters your Hohenstein mare produces…I may be in the market:)

Blume Farm I will certainly keep up with you on our news! And believe me when I say every single day I truly am so thankful for my ‘ladies.’ Now this will make you ‘jealouser’ but actually along with our Hohenstein daughter we have 2 DeNiro daughters, our DeNiro/Hohenstein and our DeNiro/Matcho. And love them all!

Through the world of CHF I met a woman who had a very well bred Selle Francais mare who was nearing her retirement from showing as a adult hunter. She had posted about her and whether she was something that should be bred. I was very enthusiastic about her and was offered her when she retired that spring. I am a pedigree wonk, since I am mainly an Irish Draught Horse breeder and Irish Draught Horse pedigrees are pretty short I can satisfy my inner pedigree fiend by making choices for Lena Mail. She is line bred Ibrahim with exceptional TBs in her pedigree(Laudanum, Hand In Glove and Precipitation). My dream is to breed her to Flexible to produce jumpers and eventers. Of course in the mean time Flexible became Champion of the World and I can’t realistically afford to bred to him any longer but she is a very nice mare and I will enjoy creating other dreams with her. PatO[/QUOTE]
PatO I am awaiting my dream cross, any day now. I bred my Connemara x TB mare to Flexible. I bred this cross for eventing, although it could very well be a competitive show jumper as well.
Flexible’s sire, Cruising, had at least three offspring at the 2012 London Olympics, and had four offspring in the top four at the Pau**** in 2013. Flexible (show jumping) and Mr. Medicott (eventing) both one Chronicle Horse of the Year in 2012 for their respective disciplines. Mr Cruise Control is currently leading the British Eventing points standings.
My mare is by the Connemara stallion, *Grange Finn Sparrow. Grange has sired seven Advanced level eventers in the US, in addition to many Prelim and Intermediate horses. Sparrow’s Nio won the Fair Hill ** in 2013; others include Wil’Ya Love Me, Sparrow’s Owen, Meadow Sparrow, Windswept and Galway Blazer.
The foal will be registered as an ISH but will have a lot of TB blood, and a touch of RID and Connemara

You will 100% have to keep us updated. That will be a very talented horse!!
There are so many dream crosses I think about that I do not know where to start.
Two dream crosses:
Tzigane Pb x Orania (Harlem Go - Heraldik xx). Cannot dream of any better than we produced this year so am hoping for a duplicate in 2015. Overlord is the chestnut with 4 whites and full blaze in this video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xB94stRq8ng&list=LLvnISBqm4rVACcZf7zCMpGw&feature=plpp
Second cross is Tzigane Pb x Hennie M (E.H. Muenchhausen - E.H. Rockefeller). This cross has already produced two exceptional athletes and a Premium filly who will start under saddle this year. Here’s the 2005 product of this cross, Harry Houdini Pb: http://youtu.be/dQbKxyQVges
A clone of Peron.
I would absolutely love a foal by Imhotep (ELITE BWP, RPSI, ZfdP, KWPN-NA CROWN ERKEND(as Wernerc) and out of a nice, correct daughter of UB40 [h=3]Dutch Warmblood Stallion[/h]
- Sire: Olivi, Keur
- Dam: Kilucienne, Prestatie, Pref., Sport, Keur
- Dam Sire: Michelangelo, Elite

I’d love that fanfayre! Love Jaguar Mail too.
My greatest hope is to see the A Fine Romance daughters bred to outstanding stallions like JM (and others) and see the line carried on into future generations.

FUN! I can’t wait to see what you get.
My dream cross, either Casall out of a Cumano or a Cumano out of a Casall, not grey!
IF I were breeding, which I am not, my SWB/TB mare would be having a date with Sea Accounts. A knowledgeable breeder friend and I have been saying for years what a lovely cross it would be, and the Hannoverian approval just added to our feelings of what a nice stallion he is.
Goal would be an eventer/ammy all rounder (3’6" jumper, Training/Prelim eventing, 3rd level dressage), but possibly excelling in either jumpers or eventing.
However I do NOT need another horse!
