    Breeding advice

    Hi all,
    Taking our first step into breeding this coming season and would like some advice on what stallion people would think is a good match. Our mare is Whativewekept by Safely Kept out of Whativewegot, any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hi Scott, sons of Artsplace and grandsons of Cam Fella seem to work well with Safely Kept mares. We would need to know your budget to suggest suitable sires.
    Don't die wondering !

    Nice family N34

    You might not have Zenover in your dam lines but you have Frozina her half sister who also features in this list through trotting half brothers Good Thanks and Split Image.

    Falcon Seelster has been a success with N34 - Elsu, De Lovely, and Tintin in America (through McArdle)

    For Whativewekept what would people think of McArdle for a 3x2 of Falcon or Elsu (which would also give a 4x6 Zenith and would be a double N34). I am probably more comfortable with Tintin in America for a 3x3 Falcon and the double N34 but you would be gambling on a new sire (should be some info on his yearlings) and he is still expensive

    Adding to Rick's thoughts you can also see that one of Artsplace's sons (Dream Away) has worked with a half sister of Whativegot

    I agree with everything that has been said above, but do like this match up on paper

    One for your budget and coming from a different angle, JR Mint.
    Warning: Horses are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ability to use common sense.

    Sabilize, Sushi Sushi, Golden Goddess,
    Artistic Fella was a very good horse and is doing an excellent job at stud in Australia. He is also a very attractive specimen of a horse. I would be giving him a lot of consideration.
    I have a good feeling about Roll With Joe, good racehorse, very well bred, but as yet no progeny of racing age.
    My advice would be to not get too carried away with how a breeding match looks on paper, what appears to be magic crosses, etc., etc. and concentrate on breeding to well bred, well performed, successful stallions that are compatible with your mare physically and pedigree wise (ie. degree of inbreeding).
