Does he improve loin connection ? Does he throw correct pasterns (lenght) ?
My mare is Conquest x Corrado x Accord II. Would that be a good cross ?[/QUOTE]
Could you tell something more about your mare? What is the name of her mother (researching her motherline can give information about what kind of blood fit’s with a mareline)? How is her type? A chatroom can be helpful for getting information. An advise doesn’t mean that somebody should follow that advise!
Bachus (Adrianna) , with all due respect , I must ask you how would you know the answers to your own questions.
I could be mistaken but I believe you don’t own a horse , you don’t ride horses and you have never bred a horse. Am I correct ?
I have worked for Jos Lansink, Meredith Michaels Beerbaum and now for Nisse Lüneburg. I live in Holstein for a year. I come here for 9 years, I write articles for Dutch, German, Australian and magazines from the USA. I interview riders like Franke Sloothaak, Pius Schwizer, Ludo Philippaerts, Jos Lansink. Ask questions to Laura O’Connor, Alberto Michan, Laura Kraut and Nick Skelton (at the Hamburger Derby). I have interviewed the breeders from Casall, Cassini, Contender, Burggraaf, Verdi, Numero Uno, Boritas/Limoncello, Con Caletto/Cardento and so many more over the years. I brush Contender almost weekly, I see and work with offspring from almost every Holsteiner stallion daily…
So tell me what do I not know?
Do I have to add that I helped with several books from Asmussen Verlag about Holsteiner stallions over the years? The Corde book etc?
Don’t give me such a personal attack if you have no clue what I am doing. I had my first article in Pferd und Sport two months ago.
Again , I only asked you questions , I did not attack you.
I also see that you did not answer any of my questions.
“Brushing Contender” , “writing articles” , “interviewing people” “mucking stalls and grooming” does not mean you know anything about breeding. How can you ? You haven’t done it.
You may have inflated the German teams soccer ball. You may have interviewed the coach. You may have washed the teams uniform and you may have written an article about the match…doesn’t mean you know how to play soccer.
My point remains for folks trying to garner information in a chat room. The source should always be considered.
But if chatrooms are so pointless why are you here Bayhawk?

I didn’t say they were pointless. I said to garner information on how a particular stallion breeds , one must consult with the breeders who have used said stallion. Only they know what was brought by him to the table in conjunction with the mother.
I have never used the stallion myself. If I were to use said stallion , I wouldn’t be looking for the information here from people who know next to nothing about said stallion.
Mon Dieu ! Quel débat pour une simple question !
I was only asking for advice. If you don’t have any, that is ok. I will continue to find information on my own… Thanks anyway.

How interesting… I did ride actually but not anymore since I enjoy it more to work at other ways with horses. Mocking out stables? Who says I am doing that?
Breeding; yes I have chosen stallions for a couple of years for 5 mares, some of those products are jumping at 1.50 level. So you can throw that statement away.
Since when does owning a horse has anything to do with knowledge about how a horse produces mare or stallion?
Plus I wanted the name of the mother so I had a point to start with. My articles mostly cover 4 generations of information.
Again you know nothing about me and it is interesting how you can judge people who you don’t know.
I am still thinking about the point that I have no knowledge, why would the Verband ask me to write now and then articles if I had no clue were I am talking about? Maybe they should ask you?

So you still don’t own a horse , you still have never bred a horse and you have done little to no riding.
You brush horses , you “work” with horses and you write articles.
I’m glad you write articles but writing articles does not make you know anything about breeding.
WOW she hasn’t even given any advise and is torn apart… WOW
My last reply to you Reece is again that judging a person you don’t know is quite low . Today I read something that was really good; A tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep (Zag)
Limoncello is a interesting stallion, being halfbrother to Lasino who produced 3 Olympic horses and more international sporthorses. With Lorentin as sire of Limoncello you can except good movement. Lorentin his strenght is mostly in dressage but his offspring can make a good jump too.

Adrianna , I will tell you again that I wasn’t judging or attacking you. I merely asked you questions DIRECTLY relating to your knowledge concerning breeding.
I think you are doing good things in Holstein in order for you to be able to write some of the nice articles you wrote that I have read. My point still remains however…you can’t really comment on breeding when you don’t breed. that’s all I was saying.
Peace out Adrianna…

:taptaptap:
Bayhawk, attacking the credentials of someone does what, exactly, make you look more knowledgeable?
(psssst, it sort of makes you look like an ass)
Additionally, you WERE attacking:

You are insinuating that someone’s lack of riding, horse ownership or ownership of breeding horses precludes them from having any experience worthy of sharing. You are insulting her by saying she “brushes” horses and writing articles–as though it should be something that precludes her from having an opinion, and even go so far as saying such.
Don’t pull the “innocent question-asker” when you get nailed for being exactly what you are being–an ass.
Sorry, I accidently hit the wrong thumb for the above post. Instead I’d like to give it a standing ovation.
And utter a sigh.
I watched the video and the stallion looks very nice.

I had you on my ignore list for a long time, Bayhawk, and this exchange reminds me why-- you are so presumptuous, so arrogant, so judgmental and so sure of your judgments no matter how groundless they may be. There are many avenues to learning about anything-- including breeding. If a person is capable of writing good articles on a subject, s/he is obviously qualified to comment regardless of how s/he has acquired the requisite knowledge.
I am reminded, for example, of a TB broodmare man who studied the bloodlines, parents, conformation, and careers of foals he delivered for decades before he ventured into breeding himself. His wife threatened divorce when he finally took the plunge, mortgaging their house to buy and breed a specific mare to a stallion of bloodlines he’d chosen for her. The resulting foal (Hansel) made them multi-millionaires. Clearly this guy (Marvin Little) didn’t need to be a breeder himself-- or own horses, or ride, or even read very well – to learn a helluva lot worthy of respect. He learned what he needed to long before he bred, mostly by watching, listening, living with the horses, taking care of them, seeing generations of various families and developing an incredible eye for what was producing what. There are a lot of horse people out there with comparable knowledge and eye for horses who, for any number of reasons, never breed themselves. I for one, would like to hear their comments, just as I would Marvin’s even before he bred, and find them every bit as valuable as yours-- if not more so.
Yada ,yada , yada. Same ol suspects still living in the land of the offended.
Yup. Back on the ignore list. Bye, bye birdie, bye, bye.

Same old big-headed ass, living in the land where his opinion matters. Yawn.
Though, I hardly recognized the writing, what with Stamm not being mentioned even once.
Tedious.
With all due respect, why is owning a horse a prereq for understanding how/what stallions produce?

Because the power of observation is something only horse-owners possess
