I’m looking to breed my mare for the final time later this year (in about two or three months). Since this will be her second and final foal, I’m wanting something pretty nice, and can afford to find a stud that’s more suited to her (my ‘limit’ on stud fee’s, though, is $250). I’ve been looking and have found four studs that I really like. One of them is located just down the road from me and I’ve always loved him, but he doesn’t really compliment my mare all that well. The other three are in Tennessee.
I have permission to post pictures of these stallions, and I would like some opinions on which one most compliments my mare. The stallions-owners only request is that there are no critique’s of the stallions, just opinions on how well they do or don’t suit my mare and why or why not.
First off, here’s my mare. She’s a Tennessee Walking Horse (unregistered, though), and is nineteen years old. My plans for the resulting foal will be mostly as a trail horse, though maybe a few ‘just for fun’ shows here and there (obstacle challenges, trail challenges, etc…).
(Stallion A)
This stallion is nineteen years old and registered as “Last Chance” in the TWHBEA and RHAA. He’s owned by a breeder just down the road from me. Stud fee: $0, as I would get a free breeding if I chose this stallion because the owner of this stud is a family friend and see’s me like a grand-daughter. This is the one that I absolutely adore, but I know he doesn’t suit my mare that well.
(Stallion B)
Registered TWHBEA as “Kir Royale”, this stallion is only two years old (I’m pretty sure). His sire is Eb’s Wind Dancer, but I’m not sure about who his dam is. He’s homozygous champagne (ee Aa ChCh). Stud fee: $250
(Stallion C)
TWHBEA registered “Kneival’s Pushin Starbucks” is a 2010 double agouti cremello tobiano stallion (ee AA CrCr nT) He is a 3X Reserve World Champion in SSHBEA Sport Horse (2012 2-year-old pole bending, 2-year-old barrel racing, and 2-year-old reining RWC). He is sired by Kneival’s Pusher Man and out of Starbuck’s Main Lady. (I’ve seen him in person as well, and he’s really nice… my only real ‘issue’ with him is that he’s shorter than what I like, but that’s not a major issue) Stud fee: $250

(Stallion D)
This stallion is a homozygous black, homozygous tobiano triple registered Tennessee Walking Horse stallion (TWHBEA registered as “General Hector”). His sire is WGC “Colors in General” and his dam is TWHNC WC “Generators Winning Colors” (who is a full sister to “Generator’s Color Guard”). He is DNA tested to be homozygous for the tobiano gene and homozygous black (EE aa TT) Stud fee: $250
So, opinions on which stallion would cross best with my mare? I’m kinda partial to General Hector. I really like how his neck is set onto his shoulders, but other than that, I can’t tell how he would cross with my mare. I know that she’s a little heavy in the front and has a low-set neck, but that’s about all I can pick out.
