Mr. Livingston

Postby springboro » Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:57 am

Has anyone seen Mr. Livingston in person? He's in Florida for a very reasonable fee at Bridlewood. From his pictures I would say he is GORGEOUS!

He is gorgeous and he was nice, durable runner.

I'm basing this on limited observations, but he does seem to stamp his foals with that gorgeous body, too. There's one in the F-T Texas sale who looks a lot like ML, but she has some seriously funky wheels, so don't put too much stock in her sales price.

He is a pretty nice individual! Ran sound for quite a while too. We have seen him in person and liked him. Our mare Waiting Appeal, a paternal half sister to Successful Ways, is in foal to him and due early next month.
He is a very well mannered stallion too. I took some photos of him and if you would like to see them just let me know.

Those photos show him off better than mine. He is a very nice stallion. We bred Waiting Appeal to him and she is due first week of April and will post photos if you want.

I was hoping to look at that one in the FT sale that Sock mentioned just to see. Our first horse ran against Mr. Livingston in FL as a 2 yr old. I believe it was the first race for both. Mr. Livingston went on to a nice career. Ours lost 36 straight. Always liked his breeding.

Bid, seriously - look at her above the knees! She's what I call a "tall grass" horse - looks great if you stand them in tall enough grass. To be as crooked as she is, I think she was crooked in her dam - I really don't think he's throwing that. But, from the knees up, she is gorgeous - you can really see the Mr. Livingston come through. And, it's a nice page, too. She's a little unpleasant, but from what I understand it's more nurture than nature. They're supposed to have her smoking under tack to try to overcome the legs, so I'm curious to see what she does, too.

His babies are gorgeous.

He was not breed to very many mares his 1st year, The babies are mainly gray, he seems to be throughing his breeding. They look like more 3 year old runners than 2 years old, They out to like the grass. I had a fabulous gray colt trainer has him now, says he has tons of potential, the colt has grat bone and a super hip and shoulder. Had to geld him cause he was a bit of a handful, He wanted to talk to all the fillies.....LOL like his daddy.... His owners are fantastic people and have truely suppoted Mr L.... I wish them all the success... I will have another Mr L baby in 2009///
Thanks,

Kathy
