I leased a nice mare for a short period of time who was sired by Citidancer and she was a gorgeous mover. I wish I could remember her registered name!
This guy is an incredible mover - even at an advanced age, he is jaw-dropping :yes: His trot and canter would be hard to beat. I stumbled upon him by accident, and when I saw him trot and canter through his pasture…well, lets just say that I bred my mare to him a couple weeks later! I had the chance to ride a couple of his get, and they all had their sire’s amazing rythm :yes:
My boy - http://www.pedigreequery.com/sir+dex
He’s an Australian bred horse, but has quite international bloodlines.
Not so much a fancy hunter mover, but phenomenal dressage movement, and a really scopey, careful jumper… a super eventer in the making

I adopted an OTTB in November by Wekiva Springs (who is by Runaway Groom), who is a really lovely mover. He is still in the process of recovering from slaughter pen starvation, so he is still not much to look at. But he has a really lovely huge trot, and a nice canter. Lots of overstep at the walk. I have yet to ride him (he needs more weight and condition first) so I can’t say anything for how he feels. I plan to event him but with his gaits, he would probably make a nice hunter.[/QUOTE]
That is really cool. Good luck with him!
Jet is by AP Jet. He has a nice jump, and a nice rhythmic canter. Willie is by Walter Willy. He’s bigger boned, and prefers dressage to jumping. He does have a nice trot and canter though, and a great mind.
Theres a really nice REAL PARTNER horse listed on this website (go down to COURAGE):

KAB FIREFLY on that site if you scroll down towards the bottom is also by him…
Personal Flag
Mine to! My guy is Flagstone Blue. Definitely getting better as he ages. I was told by a NY TB breeder (he stood Theodore at one time, for all you Teddy fans) that Personal Flag is known for his late bloomers. He also hoped that my horse had not been hit by the same ugly stick as his dad. Not sure how to take that because he does look exactly like his dad, oh well. Lots of pics of him in my sig.
Thanks. He is also smart and funny along with being a good mover. It got to the point this past summer that when he heard the microphone click over the PA, before anyone announced anything, he would start walking forward to go see the ribbon lady. :lol:
This guy (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2387659600081786972rEqKnj ) is a mystery. I can somewhat read his tattoo, but havent actually figured out WHO he is. He has a 10+++ canter, decent trot.
This one is by Archer’s Bay, will get full pedigree if I can figure out how. His race name is Rainbow Bay. He has a great trot, and pretty good canter. He is also the quietest, school type horse you will ever meet.

Mine looks just like his dad, too, with a star instead of plain bay. Oh well, I think he’s handsome! :yes:
The big guy I’m riding is a pretty fancy mover…and at 18h, he’s a BIG fancy mover His pedigree is interesting, given the frequency of Mr. Prospector in this thread, as my boy is by Vaal Reef, a full brother of Mr. Prospector.

I’m riding another TB who’s not quite as fancy on the flat…but he’s quite fancy over fences, even at 21 (pedigreequery.com has his birth year wrong, as he’s a 1988 model ). He’s by Time for a Change…and he’s of an old enough vintage that you get some pretty cool horses close up in his pedigree – as just one example, Damascus is his grandsire

My trainer has a VERY fancy mover by Two Punch

For a very short time I had a mare by Personal Flag. Lovely mind, and awesome mover…would have been a top small jr hunter for sure:yes:
Unfortunately, she was taken away I don’t know where she is… its a long story but I wish she was still in my barn!
My boy (http://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?query_type=horse&search_bar=&h=PROJECT+HALO&g=5&p=0&f=1&l=). He’s got a WONDERFUL canter and if he doesn’t feel ouchy than he trots beautifully. Not the most fancy mover, but he’s consistent.
Both of my Thoroughbred stallions, Master Huntsman and Murray’s Law, produced lovely movers in all 3 gaits – very free from the shoulder and used their hindends well, balanced and uphill. Their produce did well in dressage as well as over fences. I also had some foals by Violado (still have him) – who did very well in dressage and many commented on how much suspension he showed. Another by Beldale Ball (who won the Melbourne Cup), was a super mover and jumper.

Dime, 1982, has a too-die-for walk and canter. His trot is very decent. His gallop is breathtaking. He is beautifully balanced and correct, even at his ripe old age! I think he takes after Round Table in type, from what I can tell from pics and descriptions.
My very uphill, balanced, floaty-moving TB mare is by Pioneering…so there’s more Mr Prospector for ya’ll.
[QUOTE=fish;3880458]
Northern Dancers with more lightness (and lightening quickness that can come out of nowhere) and beautiful, efficient movement; [/QUOTE]
Agreed. I used to ride a mare with ND top and bottom and she was UN-REAL. She was refined looking and absolutely cat-like. I have never seen a horse launch people quite like that mare could. If you could manage to make friends with her and stay on she would jump the moon for you. Cool mare.
Was it Northern Dancer or Native Dancer that was the grey? If I am remembering right, the grey one was a very pretty mover himself. Native Dancer, I think.
http://www.pedigreequery.com/nobles+lil+falcon
Note: Northern Dancer. I know his Dam was later bred to a Fappiano stud for a nice filly.
He’s got a 9 canter, an 8 trot and a 10 walk (IMO). Naturally uphill, lovely scopey jumper, terrific amatuer friendly mind, auto swap.
Of course, he’s also benched right now following a ilium fracture, but he is enjoying his life as a wild horse in the woods!

I found both of these guys after I bred my mare to him; quite nice.
Seal’s horse is line-bred to In Reality and of course AP Jet has him as a dam-sire. There’s an AP Jet in the area that is also a nice mover, pinning in the hack in Ocala out of 35+…I must also say that these horses seem to have great minds, very easy and willing…
Now, while I consider Real Partner one of the true few 10 movers out there, this horse is a 9, and has a 10 walk
