I want to breed my warmblood mare next year, I was originally just going to put her to another warmblood but ideally I would like the foal to be smaller (around 15.2 at maturity) and I'd like it to have more bone than my mare. I know they can end up being a throw back and completely different to what 'should' be expected. What breed would you advise to look at for the stallion?
My mare is 16.2hh and matured quite late she was 15.3 at 4 and a half years old.
Just looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Your best bet would be to buy a youngster then you get the right sex,colour and build and it would probably be cheaper than breeding your own!!

True, but not as much fun!
The thing about WBs is that they have had lots of different things gone into the mix, which can make it very difficult to predict what will result. I bred my D mare twice to a 16hh neat, quality AES jumping stallion with lots of TB in him and got lovely full siblings, one a whisker under 16hh and the other 14.2hh!

I have a traditional stallion and he often has visiting Warmbloods. Ends up with a mw plaited, riding horse type   |

Love the Deli horses - my daughter had a (gelded) half brother to this one and he was absolutely wonderful, so talented with a great character. Another example of variable heritability - their mutual dam is a Clydesdale crossed with an unknown coloured stallion - I would postulate a WB of some sort based on our boy's fantastic dressage style movement. I don't know how big she was but Circus is 15.2hh by the TB Shaab, who was tall like most HIS horses, whereas ours was 16hh by a 14.3hh quality coloured event pony stallion! Agreed ours is gelded which means he would grow a little taller than if not, but not enough to explain that difference on its own.
Must admit I didn't know Circus was still alive - foaled 1990! Or maybe there is frozen semen.

Circus is still alive and doing stallion parades. He looks really well and his temperament talking to him at the horsebox was superb.

Glad to hear it, our boy's temperament was wonderful too, so trainable. Daughter was in the Open RC event team Finals with him when he was very young and still learning, this was bigger and asked more questions than he'd ever done before but he just took it all in his stride. And he'd follow her around loose like a big dog! There were at least 2 other Deli horses taking part in the Chs, if not more.
