I was asked about which ATA stallions might refine an older style mare. Owner will be looking at the auction.
Ideas?
Person rides dressage, not HJ.
I gotta tell you, a photo I got of a TF Peron's Brilliance colt the other day was simply awesome! Refinement but with gorgeous muscling!! Dam is a TK mare.
If memory serves, Terri Sikora bred an old-style mare (who threw HUGE foals) to him a few yrs back. Should have a coming 3yo now. Maybe she'll weigh in w/better information about what he brought to the equation.
We met him in 2005 at the convention, he was lovely - gaits, temperament, expression - the whole package was impressive. Love his canter. Beautiful, sweet horse. Refined, but a nice body. I did not expect from half ox to see what I saw from him in size and muscling - he is super. Thanks for sharing the pic, Kim, wow. There are videos on his website. But don't be modest, Taz I believe is a wonderful refiner and multi disciplined offspring for old style mares. I also love Sinatra in this group of auction horses for refiners, but I think these are both frozen only.
