Would you be kind enough to give us the specific names of the stallions that are possibles. It will make answering much easier.

Cajun Cadet, Funambule, Heart of Oak, Inchrory, Most Welcome, Songline, Swedish Shave and Troon is some of interest in Sweden
In Denmark there is a few aswell
Academ Award, Prince Firebird, Pistachio.
I had an idea of using Academy Award, but was told that Ninjinski over Halo isn't a especially good cross.
Any thoughts about that?

This is said somewhat in "jest" - i.e. with no regard for pedigree matching at all, one "Swede" (well 1/2 Swedish) to another:
It somehow just seems natural that Cajun Cadet should be put to Hot Beignet, non?

Without knowing (seeing) your mare and her foals; without seeing a stallion and his get; you're most likely going to get a mere shot in the dark from any group of people you ask, horsemen or not. So with such an important decision, both for breed improvement and your pocketbook, finding the best choice of a stallion for your mare might best be left to a professional with a proven track record. That is the reason I use the word consider. I have been an owner/breeder for many years. I also do some consulting (don't want more). As far as track record, for my own mares and those I have recommended 90%+ have started, 17% are stakes winners over a 21-year period. Why consider him? Luck.
