Hello All,
I'm looking for a stud for my mare. Here are a few things I would like to find, I'll start with bloodlines: I want foundation and lots of it. I would like to find a studs whos breeding is made up of Peppy San/Leo,Wimpy P-1,Doc Bar, Peter McCue/Joe Hancock/Two Eyed Jack.
I would like to stress the most important names on the list to me are Doc, Leo, Wimpy. I'm looking for a stud who stands around 16hh. If anyone knows of a good well bred,well mannered stud please send me an email at http://[email protected] I'm also looking for a stud of color for a diff mare. I would love to find a well bred Perlino or Cremello I need more than color here tho. I have seen so many perlino and cremello studs who really need to be gelded, but are not because of their color. Foundation bloodlines here would also be a bonus. I don't care to much about show records and the like but more about the stud having an honest mind, and working sence about him. (this goes for either stud) Thank You for info. Sandra
 
L.O.L I donno I'll have to look it up! But I'm willing to either ship my mare ( for the perfect stud) or wouldn't mind doing the shipped semen thing. I also would like to keep the stud fee at 1500.00 or less. Thanks Everyone
 
16 hands? true foundation breeding is normally 15 and less. Most of the sires you mentioned were 14'2 and 14'3.

Go to the web page and see what a real foundation bred QH is,

http://www.fqhrregistry.com/

If you go to this web page you will see the definition of foundation, in part is--

"The Foundation Quarter Horse is easily recognized by his body shape and unique conformation. He is more horse for the height than is found in any other breed. Built low to the ground, much of the time he does not exceed fifteen hands, but due to his build will often weigh twelve hundred pounds or more. The pattern of his muscle adorns nearly every part of his body."

If you are still interested in the foundation quarter horse you will see there is a stud locator on this web page. Good luck.
 
Well I would like to find something a bit taller than 14.2 I could go with 15.2 I know most are shorter but I had a qh mare who was leo,wimpy bred and she was an easy 15.3 - 16 hh
 
You sure your after a foundation bred QH? You wont find one standing 16 h? 15 H is considered a big one :shock:

Our Timberhawk Hancock stud is 15.3 and weighs 1400. He's 94% Foundation. (NFQHA registered) He's 9 times to Joe Hancock and 31 times to Peter McCue.Z
 
Curly posted this earlier it is right off the foundation QH site they are not supposed to be big, like any breed you will get over and under sized animals. They are supposed to be smaller to retain the cat like qualities.

From the standards page of the NFQHA.Z

Conformation - The National Foundation Quarter Horse should possess the Quarter Horse Conformation described by Robert Denhardt in 1940 – the Foundation Quarter Horse is a medium sized, balanced horse, heavily muscled, with sturdy bone and foot to support his weight, and carry heavy loads during long days of work. The length of leg does not exceed the depth of the heart-girth. The large eyes are set far apart on a short head with a large jaw, and the neck is of medium length and thickness in keeping with his heavily muscled frame. All parts of his conformation are geared to allowing a horse to work hard for long hours in rough terrain, and still have the lightning burst of speed necessary to catch a cow, and the agility required to turn that cow on a dime.
 
We have a foundation bred gelding that stands 16.1. But
they are very unusual.

If you aren't stuck on 16 hands, there is a local horse
that will fill your bill.

He belongs to Nichole Wheeler here in Baker and his
name is Cheney. But I can't remember his registered name.
I'll find out and get back to you.

I just thought of his name. Vibrant San Peppy.

He's quite a horse. A palamino to boot.

What percent of Foundation Quarter Horse would be acceptable? And what wouldn't be acceptable?

Are you interested in a yrlg prospect, thats Black and will grow out to be 15.3 to 16 hands?

I'm not sure what you mean by this; I don't want to ratchet things up unnecessarily so I'll just thank you for the history lesson on horse breeds and their geographic origins.
Its always nice to have new members like yourself come to the forum and verse the rest of us on the reality's of the horse breeds. Keep up the good work Tex!
 
lmao at the ....hate to see what I call a BIG horse. Yes I to tend to think from my english roots and call most horses 15.3-16.1 med sized horses. I know for a foundation breed QH 16h is the oddball but I know they are out there...So I thought I would start with the what I'm looking to add to my mare the most...and that would be size...Now size does not mean just up as she could also use some wide. But heres the kicker I want size with a brain and a well put together package to show it all off in. Are far as the amount of foundation blood I would like to keep it high I would have to guess 75 or more.. I would be willing to look at stallons with less but they would have to make up for the lack of blood with other things such as size,temperment,work ethic and cowyness( not sure it thats a real word but it is in my world..lol) Curly....Here are some links to some of my horses. The first one is one of my Big boys. The gent holding him is 6'2
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i195/chickshunt2/erosresized.jpg The second is of my med eventing horse(he's a warmblood)...if you look close you'll see legs of the person holding him but no head, the holder is 6'0 tall http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i195/chickshunt2/sempercut.jpg And this last one is of the smallest horse I have ever owned until this winter when I bought my mare. I'm holding him and I'm 5'7. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i195/chickshunt2/horses123106015.jpg So as everyone can see I like em big.
 
The big black I ride and drive. We do dressage, jumping(light as hes still young), trail riding and he's even learned to chase cows..he's pretty good for being huge. He's sold tho and should be leaving the end of this month. I have a coming 3yo that will go into training next year to take his place.

The gray I use for riding. We do moslty cross country jumping, eventing, dressage, trails, he is for the most part my english show horse.

The red well I'm not sure what I'm going to end up doing with him. He can jump but it's not something he'll ever be omg great at, he doesnt have the umm look for dressage...he's built like a brick hes just to stocky looking. I think he will end up just being a ranch horse, ya know an extra to have around in case someone wants to go for a ride. He does a little bit of everything but nothing great.
