Hi There, A difficult task! A lot of things to consider. Firstly about your mares type. You say she is full up and moves well, does she have good bone fo instance? You then need to look at what the stallions are producing, are they correct type, do they have good temperaments? Some breeders stick to using stud breed foresters whilst others like to keep putting a little of the forest bred type of pony into the stud bred ponies to keep the type, hardyness etc.

It would be a good idea to talk to a few breeders, I have always found them very helpful and will point you in the right direction if they know a certain stallion throws attribute to inprove your mare.

Peronne Palaver is 138.2cm

Why not pay a visit to the Stallion Show on saturday 25th August at New Park, Brockenhurst - you'll see plenty of stallions to choose from!


These stallions are classed as Performance Tested under the current scheme. They are graded in both dressage and showjumping.:
Burley Branston
Furzley Charaide
Furzley Marinaide
Greencottage Ambassador
Lovelyhill Cranborne Heights
Peveril Pendragon
Sabina's Gold Sovereign
Wayland Cranberry
Wayland Loganberry

Some of the stallions tested under the previous scheme may be still in action too, such as:
Burley Gold Blend (I believe he stands in France)
Luckington Sportaide
Peveril Peterborough
Woody Blue Mist
and there may be others too.

All these stallions are on the website, so you can check out their pedigrees. In fact I think the first one on the list ticks all your boxes, and I'm sure some of the others will too.
