very tall TB

Postby Follow Me » Wed Apr 27, 2005 1:39 pm

Would anyone be interested in a very large Tb stallion, 4 jears old, he is fully trained,but he doesn't fit in the starting machine, maybe he is suitable for steeple. original Stayer
He is 1 meter 83.(18.01h?) Has a great personality. Very good healt,never had any injuries. Bred and stands at The Netherlands
It would be such a waste to sell him for recreation, because he realy has talent.
Pictures available.

Well there is such a thing as too tall =D Horses that big are a hard sell, and tend to attract a lot of tire kickers and rec riders who think their ticket to success is with a big horse. I tend to see soundness problems, expensive upkeep, and training issues associated to simply being too big to fit the mold =D

That said he could be talented and extremely sound =D Plenty of sporthorse riders in the Netherlands, too. =P

The Dutch riders are not fond of TB horses.
They think they're all nuts and to difficult to handle.
Most breeders don't want to much TB blood in their horses pedigree, they think that it has no positive contrubution for the current sporthorses, beacause a TB is bred to run,and not for jumping or dressage.
In the past this 'vision' was a lot different
Only a hand full of breeders appreciate a fine TB stallion, but they want it to look and move like a dressage horse.

Follow Me- advertise him in the UK- lots and lots of breeders here love some size... and the TB is now becoming one of 'the' breeds to have in the pedigree - I've said it all along!- or even just to sell at tatts for Jumping... surely I would think you would achieve a decent price here.
