Which Hunter Stallion??

What about Nob Hill?

[QUOTE=tucktaway;8417605]
The ones I’ve seen have been substantial, nice movers and well tempered. I believe he’s 1987, is he still available?[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the Gold is a 2007 stallion. You may be thinking about his sire, All the Gold. All the Gold passed away a few years ago…there is no semen available.

I should have shortened the quote. My response was in reference to Don Alfredo!

Has anyone out there bred to Bliss?[/QUOTE]

We have bred Bliss MF to our TB mare and to our Oldenburg mare. The jump on our yearling Bliss filly was amazing and I am over the moon with our weanling filly (which we are keeping)
Here are pic of them. The first is out of our TB mare and the other is out of our Oldenburg mare.

Cabalito is a very proven stallion that throws very true to type and ability (and temperment, which he is best known for!) He has many offspring that win in hunter breeding, over fences and starting in the derbies. Check out his FB page for tons of pictures and videos of his offspring.

Beste Gold… The offspring that are making it to the big arena are doing very well… Talk to anyone who owns one…

[QUOTE=HunterAmbassador;8414260]
I actually was also looking into Thanks for the Gold! I want to see more offspring of his however. Any of you have opinions on Don Alfredo? Does he throw a nice jump? Conformation?[/QUOTE]

I talked to his owner recently – she’s going to check his semen in the spring as he’ll be 29 years old. There are a handful of mares that bred to him last year that got pregnant. He is my absolute favorite stallion I’ve seen, and I’ve been researching for months.

Do you know if there is any frozen? I hope so, he is one I’ve always liked too!

Catoki
Lordanos
Carrico (not sure he is available to the public at this time)

No, sorry, I didn’t ask about that.

No question for me, Jupiter, excellent balance and jump:)

I love Jupiter too, although he is a smaller stallion. He passed away a few years ago. I do have some of his frozen semen for sale. :wink:

Cunningham!!

Cunningham, hands down! http://www.cunningham-stallion.com/

Love ROC USA also.have seen several lovely babies showing in hand and over fences…very nice!!

Absolutely adored Jupiter, but he was quite small. You wouldn’t get your height you are after.

Jupiter was basically the perfect perfect package in EVERY WAY. But isn’t going to be a guarantee of size the OP wants. Performance and personality wise, it doesn’t get any better than him though.

Westporte absolutely. I have bred a lot of horses and this stallion passes on exactly what I am looking for…consistently! Temperment #1, ammy rideability #2 and almost perfect conformation. The hack winner almost always as well!

And if you are breeding to sell…perfect! The sire’s name does half the work for you. :slight_smile:

Cartier R (Cassini I x Acorado). He’s just started a very successful season in the 3’6 AO hunters. His offspring are beautiful, great movers and athletic.

Westporte, Cunningham, Bliss MF, Sir Wanabi, Balt’ Amour, Apiro, Cabardino, and Cabalito

They are all great producers, just depends on the mare, what your looking for, and registry. Its hard to narrow it down without that, but these are my favorites for different reasons :slight_smile:

Hint Hint… Talk to Maggie @ Marabet Farm!! There are 3 of her stallions on my list for a reason! (and the only reason its not 4 is because I want to see what Carry On MF does with his next couple foal crops; I have one due in April) :slight_smile:

Take a look at Richard www.theequineathlete.com and www.facebook.com/KWPNstallion.

He competed through the Regular Working Hunter and also the Grand Prix Jumpers. Jumper video: https://youtu.be/oQYXEhDcu3I Hunter video: https://youtu.be/FBjqGSBg-7o

One of his daughters from his first true USA crop (2011) just took back to back Grand Champion wins at Wellington in the Baby Green division on her first two show outings (December, 2015). https://youtu.be/1UuR6sR0Z6o and https://youtu.be/xiNfYpc57LE

I met Cabalito years ago at HITS, Ocala. He is a very nice horse and seemed to have a great temperament.
