I breed event horses in the UK and have stumbled across an interesting thoroughbred horse standing here in the UK that I'd like to know more about.
His name is Aspect and he is by Val de l'Orne out of Artic Fling, by Northern Dancer. I understand Val de l'Orne was imported to the US to cross with Northern Dancer mares and most of his SWs were out of Northern Dancer line mares.
I also understand he was the broodmare sire of Hawk Wing.
What I'd like to know is.... do you think Aspect could breed event horses given his bloodlines?? Is there much in the way of jumping blood in his pedigree??
I think he could be a real find for breeding eventers. He's 17hh and look to have very good conformation. It's a bit of a trip for me to go and see him, so I thought I'd get some views on his sire before I make the effort.
Any help greatly appreciated !
