#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Kobau, I won't get offended with critisisms, I just want to know what other more experienced breeders think. He is a very athletic stallion, slides well (no skid plates yet) and is learning the spin. He has been under saddle for 2 months and he knows how to wtc, spin, stop (no rein pressure, just seat) and is starting lead changes. He is VERY smart. Just for teh record, he comes from PQR farms in AB somewhere. His sire is a "big" name in reining in germany (he was sold there from AB for $$$$$$$). I couldn't say whether or not he corrects faults that the mares may have, because teh mares there are not rideable, and all have correct conformation. He does/did improve attitude though, because one mare is a real b*tch and her foal off of him is a darling, but her foal off of another stallion has her attitude. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As for my mare, her movement is nice, but not stunning. She is a pony and moves like one. I have not done much with my mare because she was pregnant (the little mule...) but so far she is willing and smart, she can collect and extend fairly well, and comes onto the bit nicely. I have ridden her less than 20 times in the nearly a year that I have had her, and before me she was a trail pony. She has a nice comformation, I don't know if I have any pics, but I can check and see. She is very attractive to look at, nice legs (she has a scar, but it's only cosmetic, and wouldn't be passed on anyways) and solid build. The "weak" point for my mare are very few. One would be her height, and the only other I can think of is her movement, but even that's not bad for a pony. She doesn't have a huge range of movement, but I really haven't had a chance to see what she can do. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Any other questions?? I'll still try to get photos for this aft. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Edited to add pic off of his website #ed_op#A href="http://fsgfarm.bravehost.com/stallion.htm"#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#0000ff#ed_cl#http://fsgfarm.bravehost.com/stallion.htm#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/A#ed_cl# I will still try to get good conformation shots, but these are what I have until the weekend I think...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG style="WIDTH: 555px; HEIGHT: 549px" height=642 src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/ShezaPerfectAngel/PDR_0393.jpg" width=612#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG style="WIDTH: 548px; HEIGHT: 470px" height=1238 src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/ShezaPerfectAngel/PDR_0269.jpg" width=1703#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
