what breed of stallion?

Horse Crazed · 07-22-2006, 09:09 PM

ive been thinking about this for about a year give or take... and i cant decide what breed of stallion i should get jana covered by...
ive thought about a qaurterhorse, because it would match her build, and i
want a heavy-built, solid foal, but i want to try for some color in the foal,
so i thought maybe a paint... ive had a look at a big QH stallion, but i wasnt happy with his hindqaurters... so i gave him a miss.. and ive been offered an egyptian arab... but im looking for a heavier build than an arab.

ive thought about a clydie... but i want to very picky with the results of my foal that i get.. and the two clydie stallions ive had a look at, i just wasnt happy with them...

so im still hummin and arr'in about a paint...

so i thought id ask for some suggestions... ill get a pic of her standing sqaure, so that you know what im working with...

*EDIT**

shes a 6 year old standardbred......shes a bit shaggy looking..its winter here now.... and theres still a bit of mud on her...

what breed is your mare?

I would stick with QH's. If look hard enough you'll find one that produces the colrs and body you want. Some paints are built just likeQH's.

Pictures of your mare would help folks help you look for a stallion to compliment her strengths and help her weakenesses.

That's because paints are QH's with color.

thanx, shes a standardbred, and im going to go take some pics of her now...

Why do you want to breed her?
If I was you I wouldnt breed her, Standardbreds are not really a saleable breed and there arent really crosses around either. But just my opinion, nobody spazz out on me for that.
But IF you feel the need to breed I think a paint would be fine...I wouldnt go draft (Clyde or any other).

If she's a STB, I would go with either another STB, or a TB, of similar build.
