In my dream world I have a horse for sitting trot and one for rising trot. Riley can be my sitting trot horse, and my rising trot horse will be one of the boing-boing babies from the elite foal/mare auction in Verden below! These are my choices, three Quaterbacks and one Sarkozy/Don Schufro. Click on the link to see a few really lovely Sir Donnerhalls too...
Quaterdance
Quintus
Quaterback Junior
Sinka
Oh, yeah, did I mention the third horse? I need one for Bob to feed treats and handgraze -- that's Harvey!

I'm always impressed how clearly you see Quaterback in his get. They're like peas in a pod, the first few!
ReplyDeleteEldest is taking lessons at a dressage stable, now. She's learning the difficulties of a good sitting trot. Hah!
Lovely babies. Shows what you can get when you breed an exceptional mare to an exceptional stallion. And Janice is right...peas in a pod!
ReplyDeleteNow, they need to invent a dressage test where you can switch horses partway through. Trot work on one, and canter work on another?
I'm told that you want to breed QBs to lighter mares. I have heard vague references to 'problems with the front end' of QB offspring, and since we know it isn't that they're not expressive, I assume it is crookedness. Some critics are a bit harsh I think, but there is probably at least some truth to the observations -- no stallion is perfect. Won't it be exciting to see these babies in the show ring someday?
ReplyDeleteHeavens what beautiful movers!
ReplyDeletejust wondering if you had the sire/dam for Sinka?
