I know that the Clever Trick line is known for amazing great tempered offspring, also highly intelligent.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
I've been told Indian Ridge - Ahonoora were nice stallions to deal with, and Legal Jousting continues in that tradition.

I own a Pleasant Tap stallion who is the spittin' image of his daddy that is childproof. He is also out of a Rubiano (Fappiano) mare who was highly intelligent so that may be a factor.
Generally, I would say that anything from the Hail To Reason family would be pretty aggressive.
My three Dehere's are all very kind, as are all of my Raise A Native family horses.

The talented ones will give you an early hint.
After spending some quality time in Kentucky last week, I actually have some input on this subject
I made my first visit to Old Friends en route to Lexington. I got an abbreviated tour at dinner time, so I got quite a bit of close contact with a lot of the stallions there.
Sarava and Prized were definitely studdy, yet very well-behaved. Prized will still test you to see what he can get away with.
Ogygian had to have been a dog in a past life. Everything about his actions reminded me of an old St. Bernard. Very cool, calm, and collected for a visually impared horse.
Gulch wanted to cuddle, and I think he would have even if I wasn't packing carrots. I wouldn't have believed he was a stallion if I hadn't known who he was.
Granted, these were short visits, but part of my job as an RVT is to size up the horse's attitude quickly so I can keep the DVM-and anyone else around-safe.

Don't know what he meant, but years ago I spoke to someone involved with Ahonoora during his racing days and he told me that the horse was a freak.
Nevertheless he didn't do too bad as a stallion....

The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.
I've heard from those who saw him in person that Smoke Glacken is an absolute gentleman.
Judging by the temperament of one of his fillies that we owned--who had a personality like a big, old, overgrown Labrador Retriever--I'd believe it. The only time she got the least bit excitable was on her way out for a run. (And boy did she love to run!)

So many pedigrees...so little time. (C)
