Diamond?

Now in Oklahoma. Anyone seen this horse and can comment on his size, appearance? Mostly interested to know about his fertility.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I saw him a few years ago at Northview Stallion Station, in MD. I thought he was a looker! His sire is Mr. P., sire of sires!

He is about average size (maybe 16 hands on his toes). I don't like his neck and shoulder. Don't know about his fetrility but should be OK for the 32 mares he bred last year.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have a mare in foal to him in Oklahoma--Reigning Glory by Southern Halo. I thought he was very well-built and with decent attitude. His dam is one major producer, mother of two grade one winning millionaire fillies. Diamond was a minor stakes winner with fair talent. I'm hoping the genetics will come through all those nice individuals on both sides. His price is right at $2500 fee. His best daughter Silmaril has now made more than $900,000 at age six.

Check out the hypo-mating for my above mating. Lots of nice linebreeding and talent from many directions, but the least of it is in the direct parents of the prospective foal.

It's always possible with this horse - there's Grey Flight in them thar veins!
