I only got one of my mares in because there was such a long list they only picked the cream of the crop, I'm not offended but would have liked to get one more to him. As far as Hanover my opinion is they raised his price to reduce his book ,with all the RnR hanovers in the sales it was watering down the stock as a result the sales of his babies suffered also the Medowlands situation will hurt. My question is will the price of Hanover being much lower down under hurt him in the U.S? Have not been able to see and of the Well Said babies.

Hi Fullerton
I don't see his price being lower down here hurting him in any way. He has had only 2 crops to race in the U.S and has produced some great horses so the demand for his stock will be great. The other way to look at it if you have a couple of nice mare's you could send them to Heaven and get 2 (Heaven) for the price of 1(Hanover).

Well I wanted to go to Heven with all my mares but I could not get them in. I just think this horse is going to be something real special in the breeding shed. I have been around racing for a long long time and this horse is just different.

Hi Fullerton
Thats a shame that you couldn't get a few more mare's into him and as a guess i'd say there are alot of other people that missed out due to Heaven been so popular. I hope the mare you got in foal throws a champion for you. Have you pre booked for next year.

I have pre booked my one mare . I think she will be in cycle soon as she was not in foal last year due to a late foal previously. It stinks only letting 140 breedings. But it's probably good for the sport. Thanks Mango for the support.

Hi Fullerton
With breeding only 140 mare's that means there will be only 100-110 live foals on the ground which doesn't seem like a great deal for a stallion each year. But the other way to look at it if you have 1 of those live foals it could be worth a few $$$ at the sale's.

I've seen RnR Hanover ... he's a huge, hulking horse ...
I think he'll work pretty well over my Artsplace mare (apart from the obvious success of that cross). She's medium-sized, very good-gaited and correct. It wouldn't hurt to add a bit of width and bulk to her foals.
It'll be interesting to see his fee when/if he heads down here.

Hey Ben
You have a nice mare to send to him and that cross has been gold in the states and it will be ineteresting what his fee will be. 2 other horses to put size into there progeny that i have seen are Western Ideal and Somebeachsomewhere.

We have 2 colt foals by RnR Hanover out of Artsplace mares. Both are outstanding types , correct , and have a fair bit of size about them.
