#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#The gelderland book allowed some Hackney blood in at one time, #ed_op#br#ed_cl#however it is not a favourable line to have now. (Not that I am#ed_op#br#ed_cl#against it, just a fashion thing.) It is very hard to find#ed_op#br#ed_cl#stallions that are advertised as having Gelderland blood. There#ed_op#br#ed_cl#are 2 living stallions that I know if in Canada, Kadans (50%) and#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Vulcaan. The only other one that I knew of was Immigrant#ed_op#br#ed_cl#(50%). He has since passed away.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Have you seen Tricolor? He has lovely dressage movement. He is a#ed_op#br#ed_cl#pinto warmblood by Voltaire. There is a TB stallion called#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Stevearoo. He competed successfully in dressage.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Ruth wrote:#ed_op#div#ed_cl#Actually, my CSH gelding has a little Hackney in#ed_op#br#ed_cl#him, his grandfather on his dam's side is Tamarack who was a#ed_op#br#ed_cl#TB/Clyde/Hackney X. Also a friend of my coach's just bought a new#ed_op#br#ed_cl#driving horse that is Oldenburg/Gelderland/Hackney. Personally I don't#ed_op#br#ed_cl#mind a little Hackney! #ed_op#/div#ed_cl##ed_op#div#ed_cl#Now I know this isn't up to you, but#ed_op#br#ed_cl#would it not be better to allow outside blood from a more similar breed#ed_op#br#ed_cl#to the Hackney in to the studbook, I would think that Gelderland or#ed_op#br#ed_cl#American Saddlebred would be good breeds to introduce outside blood#ed_op#br#ed_cl#from. Not that there's anything wrong with TB blood, but those 2 breeds#ed_op#br#ed_cl#are known to be fine carriage horses, and TB's are not so much. I think#ed_op#br#ed_cl#the Gelderland book did allow some American Saddlebred blood in.#ed_op#/div#ed_cl#
#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#If you're going to go for a pinto warmblood by Voltaire, go with Tricolor's full brother, Sandstorm-- the MUCH finer stallion, if you ask me. Had two babies by him this year, and they are absolutely GORGEOUS.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#From what I've seen of Tricolor, he's nice, but he's nothing special. Sandstorm has that "something extra", in my opinion, and he just looks nicer.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://www.boschfarms.com/sandstorm.html"#ed_cl#http://www.boschfarms.com/sandstorm.html#ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#Pippa wrote:#ed_op#BR#ed_cl##ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Have you seen Tricolor?
