Thoughts? What kind of mares do you think would suit him? Thanks :)

Machiavellan and Rainbow Quest (think Shamardal and Footsteps in the Sand)

Kimberley - I actually have a Broad Bush line mare and I was thinking the cross would suit her because of the Rahy - Blushing Groom on the dams side. Am I off base to think that or is there another reason for the cross to work? Thank you :)

The Rahy/Blushing Groom was part of that. His 4th dam is a daughter of Turn-To, which is an important strain for Broad Brush. Linebreeding back to Turn-To (through various sources) has worked well with him.

You're in Ontario...is your mare a daughter of Schossberg, by any chance? I like the addition of Buckpasser and the return of the Windfields foundation horses Bunty Lawless and Menetrier.
