    LOL, yeah she is. But her Dad is Scottish, and her Grandad is Welsh. My Dad is Welsh and my Mum is Limey (Although her father is Zimbabwean). Plus I did my apprenticeship in Newmarket. I bet someone £10 the other day that she was Scottish, and lost after I messaged her and found out. lol

    Sorry to hear about the virus, it always spreads like wildfire doesnt it. From your news it seems like your plugging on and getting there though.
    Were all frozen in Malton at the moment, We have been trotting round Tims barn for 2 days, horses are jumping out of their skins! Brian Rothwell is back in the UK and is working half a dozen horses from the same yard, so we have been working in with each other which is great for me because I get the benifit of his 20 years experience. Roll on the spring though, Im desperate to get cracking with these youngsters.

    Any mating could potentially work Kauto, When you come to visit my yard, ill drag some pedigrees out and talk you through them. Everyone has their own ideas about what makes up a good pedigree, but only my theories are right! lol. Joking aside, there are plenty of stayer/sprinter matings in Australasia that have been quite successful, Ill dig some out for you.
    BTW, When are you coming to visit? All being well, Ill be training in the UK in 2010, it would be nice to train a winner for you!!

    We have a Karinga Bay out of a Zambrano mare, a Karinga Bay out of an Executive Perk mare, a Double Trigger out of a Royal Vulcan mare, a Primitive Rising out of a Buckley mare, a Nomadic Way out of a Buckley mare, a Karinga Bay out of an Oats mare, an Alflora out of an Accordion mare. Stamina pretty much on both sides; the Alflora and Nomadic Way have stout dam lines since their sires wouldn’t necessarily be the most stamina imparting of NH sires.

    How old are your horses Shadow?

    Hi Happy,
    Sorry for the late reply, Ive been very busy lately with all the enquirys generated from this thread.
    There are so many factors to take into account when breeding a racehorse. I personally dont think The speed and stamina come from the male or the female individualy, but from all ancestors. If you duplicate horses that showed stamina then you will breed something of that type. If you duplicate speed horses then the outcome is usually a speedy horse but it also depends on what you have further back in the pedigree too, as the way the gparents, gt gparents and so on nick also has a significant effect on what is produced. Email me on nzracehorses@hotmail.com and we can talk further if you would like.

    I was speaking to a friend that breeds QH in USA about this the other day, and he seemed top think they stopped using him over QH mares through lack of interest.

    Shadow, it doesnt matter how a horse is bred if its capable of winning a race, because at the end of the day, thats the thing were all aiming for. Racing follows trends, and to stay on top of your game you have to follow these whether you like it or not. Ive ridden sprint bred horses that were no bigger than 15 hands, and could run 600m in 36 but jumped like a stag and managed to race over 2 miles through sheer guts, and ive ridden staying bred horses that were tripless because they were too weak to stay but too slow to run over 8-12f. My opinion for what its worth is that "Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog"
    Out of interest, how are your horses bred?

    Presidium stands at Norton Grove Stud in Malton along with Timeless Times, Monsieur Bond and Bolin Eric. Not sure what the web address is but if you look in the links on my site there is a link to their site. Sugarfoot was at Norton Grove but they have sent him on perm loan to a small stud further up north.
    Defacto was at http://www.ranbyhall.com not sure if hes still there.
    How is your mare bred?

    As interesting as your opinion is, are you trying to say "we dont call them store horses in the UK unless they are bred for jumping" or what? and if so, why didnt you just say that? I dont just sell to the UK, I have clients in NZ, Australia, Asia and America, so Im not selling predominantly to the UK market, and funnily enough, ive been involved in the industry long enough to know whether a horse could potentially run as a jumper or not.
    Your implying that im trying to mislead the users of this forum, which Im not. I have never once stated that these horses are either bred for or being sold as jumpers.
    From reading your posts, i get the impression that your involved in the industry as a professional, and quite knowledgeable. but come on, the fact that store horses are exactly what the name implies down under, and not specifically bred for jump racing isnt the real issue here. I think the real issue is that you didnt like the fact that I posted a horse for sale in the Bloodstock section.
    The best thing is, because of your objection to my site link on the forum, my website hits are going sky high, any publicity is good publicity so you have done me a huge favour. PM me your details and if I sell one of the horses ill cut you in on the commission.

    No offence Shadow Leader, but In NZ store horses are simply horses that have been left to mature and not neccesarily left for NH. However some of the horses dams do have form over jumps.
    I fail to see anywhere on my site where I actually reccomend these horses as potential jumpers so Im not too sure why you feel the need to insult my judgement under the No offence guise.
    Are we trying to establish the fact that you know more about national hunt racing/breeding than me? which wont be hard as I principly deal with flat horses or did you just fancy a chat?

    Great effort. The skill and dedication that must have taken, and the effort on the horses account. It was a different class to watching the novice at Fakenham.
    Reckon I might start letting my wife do some flat work with my horses, shes always trying to convince me its the way forward. lol
