Need the tack off tho! BTW, Sarah's horse is an "Andalusian" - so you'd get ID/TB x PRE (the correct name for Andalusian).

Right, she's a very nice type, and I think you need to be looking at something with a good laid back shoulder and length of rein and really good flat bone, possibly with a bit more bone than her. So I still think TB or TB cross, ( def not warmblood) -----could be really nice

only have one of her untacked and a bad angle, in all the others she is rugged. I'll try to take some nice pics of her tomorrow, weather permitting.

she is chunkier than she looks in the pics. She has put a bit of weight on since they were taken 2 months ago.
According to her Irish horse passport this is her breeding
Dad, Able Albert, TB Mum, Moneen Lady Theresa Main STB
Grandparents on dads side, Abwah (TB) and Polly Peachum

Looking at your mare a bit more carefully, there are two things you should possibly select in your choice of stallion. One is a short coupled back, your mare is a bit long, or looks that way, which is great for breeding but not so great for riding if it gets exaggerated. The second thing is that she has rather short and upright pasterns, so it would be worth selecting a stallion with longer sloping pasterns and avoiding anything with a similiar shape.
Both ID and TB are strongly influenced by Iberian bloodlines, that is why they make good crosses with Iberians, you are breeding like with like.

i love that stallion, he was on the cover of Horse and Hound once. He's gorgeous, your mare is nice too and the foal, what colour will he be and where do you live because i'm going to sneak over and steal him

LOL. He belongs to my friend and she has done very well in showing so she knows what she's doing and I trust her judgement because she has the good of the breed in her mind. She bred my other horse too. He is a lovely stallion. Got a great temperement and Ollie is a lovely colt to have around. I am very very pleased with him. I'm hoping he will stay liver chestnut

I've had an ID X TB mare visiting to my Andalusian stallion last year, looking at the two of them side by side, the foal should be luurvly.
Should make a smashing sporting type.

Smudge, can i be nosy and ask how much the whole process cost, from the vet swabbing your mare to his visit 24 hrs after the foal was born including the covering etc

i have a well bred id/tb, quite a chunky girl and i'm thinking about breeding from her next year. What kind of stallion should i be looking for? A pure bred tb, a pure breed ID or a sportshorse? Also as she is grey is there any colour i can cross her with that the foal will not end up grey? Either an RID or a TB depending on whether you want something lighter or heavier than she is. (Still no guarantee - but a better chance of getting the result you want because using a sport horse stallion MAY end up in the foal looking almost pure ID - or pure TB. OR you may end up with an ID body on TB legs! Using an RID will not necessarily get you something 'heavy'. This mare - believe it or not - is RID x TB (She is a bit light in condition in that pic as she'd just finished a season's serious hunting.) This is her 3 year old daughter by my VERY big, chunky RID: Although she is 3/4 ID she looks more like a first cross. This chap is 7/8ths TB - the rest RID But he could pass for a first cross - at 17hh with 9.5" of bone. This chap has EXACTLY the same proportion of TB and ID - but at 16.1 with 8.5" of bone, he LOOKS like a 7/8ths TB As for grey - whatever stallion you use on a grey mare, you have a 50% chance of a grey foal (unless she's homozygous for grey, in which case it's 100%.) If you use a grey stallion who is not homozygous, the chances of a grey go up to 75% (in theory.) I have a grey mare who has had 4 foals by my grey stallion - so far 2 greys, 1 bay, 1 chestnut. We're due another grey (or two!)

*raises hand at the back of class* What's an RID am guessing R..... Irish Draft? Surely not a Real Irish Draft?
Smudge - mum and dad are gorgeous - Dad is amazing.

I was lucky - bout £800 all in. Straightforward birth. No jabs (wanted a totally natural process where poss). vet checkup cos I couldn't find the placenta at first and I panicked but it was buried in the stable. foal was and is absolutley perfect (he did go upright though and has had to have corrective trims but we caught it before any glue on shoes were needed - thats when you thank your lucky stars you put in the handling work) The amount of time spent handling said foal and being dragged across the field face down whilst holding on for grim death - £1 million quid Catching myself sneaking in the field to poo pick whilst he was snoring in his mums pile of haylege - so as not to get mugged and "played with" - priceless ;D
