Thought I'd just start a New Thread about Next season's breeding aspirations........ what people are hoping to breed, the mare, the stallion and whether you will be using, natural, AI, Fresh,Frozen or Chilled!!!!!!

So pleased you said that Lucky, we've three due next spring but had three mares slip, one never came into season at all and another two mystery mares. Its been a cr*p year to be frank and it has for a lot of people we've spoken too.

What a disappointment for you two! We prefer natural covering and our 14hh is in foal to her Ninfield husband again - she is so easy to cover and foaled this year bang on time so hopefully 2007 will be the same. The 12.2 is hopefully in foal to Whinfell Tom Kitten she appears to be taking shape already, ( the 14hh looked like a barrage balloon at this time last year as well) but is such a grumpy little thing and was an absolute heathen and not appreciative to being covered at all, hope none of this rubs off on the nipper when it arrives in May!!

Have a Yealand Nemesis mare in foal to a coloured Irish Sport Horse, will wait to see what it turns out like before deciding where to take her next year, also have a 14.2hh by Radway Ptarmigan to cover in the spring haven't decided on a stallion yet- any suggestions?

I would love to be able to use Waxwing Herod - only trouble is he's in Oz! and i'm in UK. Does anyone down under know if they are able to offer frozen semen to the uk? Think he stands at Mark Bullens Imperial Stud.

Herod must be a fair age now. His son Roseisle Pandy Tudor has sired so many fantastic ponies. He was standing at Heniarth stud in Wales, not sure if he still stands there though.

What beautiful lines you have with your mares, I think your Radway mare would be super to Raydar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14hh SHP.

Thanks Phillipa, probably looking to breed another 14.2hh from the Ptarmigan mare, thinking of Strinesdale Mastermind or Llanarth Alleycat but haven't really decided, she is a huge mover and a really lovely person but was a little keen under saddle and gave her jockey an interesting couple of seasons! Both mares won at champs under saddle and are very quality, really hope I get a coloured from the Nemesis mare but the stallion I used was in his first season so don't know how homozygenous (not sure of spelling!). Have asked the mare for a coloured filly and she gave me a "you'll get what you're given" look. Probably a brown colt!

I like mastermind but prefer Matador. Have had mares by both and the Matador mare was slightly better. Although again depends what you are looking to breed and also on your mare. My 2 were measured in at 14.2hh (they were 15hh at least!!!!!!!) I had them on breeding loan, lovely ponies with big uphill movement.
Keep me posted on what colour you get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
