thoughts on a mare:dressed in red

[wynd37]

hi,i have a mare dressed in red,sire is captain courageous and out of a mare names go sue lynn,, what do you think about this mare and what would be a good cross for her??

Hi Wynd37,

Dressed In Red shows no foals since 1994 when she was 9. I don't know what your intention would be with her foal (if you could get her pregnant), but if you're asking for breeding advice in this forum I assume a racing thoroughbred.

I wouldn't advise trying to breed her. Her foals have raced, but at the lowest levels. I'd suggest finding a younger mare with more credentials and starting 'fresh'.

Good luck,

Pete

Hi Wynd,

OK, you've answered the question of fertility. What do you want to do with the foal?

hi,i want to get a baby that could do jumping,and the english {cr.sp?}i cann't spell it but i know how to say it,,she is a short mare at 15.2 but she loves to jump and we have been riding her and teaching her the moves for side passing etc,,and she is a very fast learner,,,and has a great ex.trot she moves like a dream and love to breed her to thoroughbred just would like to know what bloodlines to cross with that would give the baby that extra something

Hi Wynd,

I think that there are better people to advise you on sport use stallions./

You might want to change the title - or repost, saying that you need help with this kind of stallion.

Regards,


Pete

wynd37,
IMO, take this mare to a warmblood. What a lovely sporthorse pedigree. She could get you a three day event horse worth talking about. Mary Syers

[wynd37]

like what kind of warmblood and what knid of horse would/should i be looking at?? thank you all for helping post,dressage is what i am looking for and what class of horse to cross with??and with what kind of pedigree??there are no warmbloods in 200 miles of me not at all thoroughbred or any other breed other than A.Q.H.A,paint, country

Well, unlike with TBs with a warmblood sire you can use AI. You don't have to restrict yourself to a sire close by, just have a good equine repro vet about.

The Chronicle of the Horse forum has a section on sporthorse breeding. Perhaps you could check there for people who are more familiar with warmblood breeding?

Try this site--lots of warmblood frozen semen. Mary Syers
