This message is from: sam Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello All, It has been a very long time since I have posted anything, I am generally a confirmed Lurker. However I have a few nice Fjords for sale, and one in particular I would love to present an idea for the list regarding Lines, evaluating a prospect for stallion material, confirmation etc.. placing a monetary value etc.. What if.. I took video to post on U-tube of a stud colt I have here and anyone interested in participating could post feed back on the impressions of his suitability etc.. what ever came to mind. I am interested in everyone's input as if this was a colt in there own barn and they had to make the decisions about him and the breeding behind him. Would anyone participate? If so what would you like to see on a video? Is this a good Idea or one people would feel was taking advantage of the list members ? He is a 2 yr old Stud colt.. He is Konggard and Dena cross. Papers pending. I have scheduled his date for gelding May 16th. I am not properly set up for raising a stallion so he will be gelding before fly season if he stays with me for any length of time.So far he has been quite easy to manage with only some mild moments of hormonal awakenings.. This is not a bid for a free evaluation ;) for a prospect for me, I don't have that level of savvy to teach kids while learning to raise and train a stallion on a tiny farm! Personally, I would value and appreciate any thoughts on his lines or feed back about him from the many knowledgeable folks on this list.I have always wondered how you really know at stalion prospect at a very young age. So far he is a treat to be around and a nice fellow to look at ( a big change from last year) I know what I see and would find fault with, but it would be a neat education of sorts if some of you were willing to post feed back for us all to see and learn from. It is not my intent to take advantage, so let me know if this is a bit rude or out of bounds. (sorry, i think I am repeating myself) After reading the post re blood lines and up coming evaluations, it just popped into my head to try this. Would it be a bad idea to talk a bit about what makes a stallion prospect, what if there is only one left in a line worth preserving, what faults are forgivable? Other horses for sale.. 18 yr old Gest son, nice fellow would make a very nice pleasure riding companion and trail riding buddy. 6 yr old dressage prospect, very forward, had a bit of time off and is being restarted, he is a Gem waiting for polish this guy! I am excited to see how he shapes up over the next few weeks. 4 yr old mare sweet and in your pocket! can not be registered, not a thing wrong with her other than that! She is a lovely mare who will make an excellent driving partner. Please E-mail me privately for more details and pricing on the nice horses. Thank you, Sam Stanley Barefoot Farm Amesbury Mass.
