Ones that are still living. Why are they your favorite?
Freestyle. I have had as well as seen quite a few of his babies and all are super quiet and easy to work with as well as being very elastic and supple in their movement.
Fidertanz,Fuerstenball and Fuerst Romancier are the most prolific of the ones I like. Their offspring are many and you can see alot of examples. But one of my favorites is For Compliment. Hard to get the frozen. Not a “foal” maker but throws power and FEI potential which is what I breed for and have experience with.
I think it is hard to pick an overall F line, because a lot of who I like depends on who I’m breeding. I currently have a dose of Fidertanz, I love Freestyle and have a breeding to him, and I just got a mare in foal to Furst Piccolo.
And sadly Furst Piccolo died today, so he’s off the list of living F-line stallions. And he was lovely.

I hope you get a filly to carry the line of Furst Piccolo since he just died. Fingers crossed for you!!
Are you talking just about Hanoverian F line or are you considering the Westphalian and Rheinlander F lines like Farewell I and III and Ferragamo? These are two other F line stallions that I like a lot. Ferragamo seems to be a good sire of mares and fareweel seems to produce very well. They are both available by frozen. And I agree with Maryanna about For Compliment
Freestyle has bionic semen so if you want to take the stallion out if the equation, use him.
^ Agree. And agree with being super elastic and supple. I have two girls by him that are going to be good GP horses. He’s also a good deal.
Furstenball is my fav, he just oozes star quality. Love him. Also really like For Compliment. I have a yearling from him now that I quite like. He got his mom’s “noble” head but holy :eek: can he ever move! Still have a bit of semen left too 
Furstenball without hesitation.
Fransiskus is producing nice foals but he is only fresh semen. He is a Fidermark grandson - love him - so much I bought a Fidermark daughter for as broodmare. Fannie Mae has 2 ,I believe. I had even thought of breeding her to Fransiskus - doubling up on Fidermark - not sure if that is too close. Anyway I used another stallion from same station - Rock Forever (Ramiro grandson) Look at Rosamunde - she just became US champion Intermediare with S Peters. Rock Forever /Fidermark . I think Fannie Mae has done this too. My colt is just what I dreamed of.
Spelling error Franziskus sorry

Some of my favorites: Freestyle, Franziskus, French Kiss, Floriscount, First Dance, Florencio, Furstenreich. Haven’t had foals from all of these boys yet, but I’m slowly working on it. All of these stallions are known for their good character and rideability.
In jumping, For Pleasure and also his son, French Fashion.
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I missed mentioning Floriscount. He is for sure my favourite, even over Furstenball. Floriscount just “does it” for me, as do his foals. One of these years I hope I am lucky and get a foal from him!

Jennifer is out of Franziskus semen (asked her about a month ago).
Carol at SES carries him as well. http://www.superiorequinesires.com/stallion.php?Franziskus-30
I have a 5 year old Fidertanz that I just love.
