The title pretty much says it all

I don't, but am definitely curious why you want to know

JBandRio · 09-02-2008, 05:58 AM

LOL, it can't be that hard to guess

I've seen quite a few, and with the exception of one, they were a lot more attractive standing still than they were moving/jumping. Just not my kind of horse (although one of them deserves sainthood for the amount of crappy riding he puts up with).

I am a fan of Timely Roberto at Red Fox Farm. He is a hunter/Jumper champ and has a video of his performance on YouTube.

Can you go into more detail? Like, do you know what the dams were like? My impression from their website was that Mom had a lot to do with the movement. I've seen lots of pictures now of offspring out of TB mares (which mine is) that had very nice movement. But, I have never seen him or any kids in real life.

Yep, there are videos of all of them, I think, on YT

He's a nice boy for sure. I'm *really* wanting a spotted foal, so have a few HZ Tobi stallions in mind. I will NOT sacrifice mind or conformation though, which rules out a lot

Most of them had too much knee/not enough stride length for my taste (maybe that would be ok for the APHA shows, I don't know, I'm used to regular hunters). I can think of one that I'd call an average-good mover. As far as jumping, the ones I've seen jump correctly, but nothing great. I haven't seen any leg hangers, but I haven't seen any that jumped around with their knees to their chin.

Like I said, they just don't do much for me. None of them have been BAD, but none have made me say wow either.
