CM Sporthorses Comment by CM Sporthorses 18 hours ago
Hi Guys,

I live in South Australia on the Eyre Peninsula (the triangly bit at the bottom of the country in the middle) - we are about 150km west of half way from Sydney to Perth.... so the middle of nowhere!!!

But it works to our advantage - we are right on the highway from East to West, and its only about 2000km to either East or West coast of the country, and therefore affordable for people to buy horses from us and have them trucked anywhere :) Works well for us :)

So, what do we breed??

Cleveland Bay, Warmblood and Coloured Sporthorses.

We have 3 Cleveland Bay Sporthorse Stallions -
CM Oberon Toblerone - Cleveland Bay x Holsteiner - 17.3hh, 10 yrs old.
CM Bedford Forrest - 3/4 Cleveland Bay, 1/4 TB - 17.1hh and growing - 4 1/2 yrs old
Billara Beersheba - 3/4 Cleveland Bay, 1/4 TB - 16.1hh and growing - 5 yrs old.

And a Perlino QH stallion who is of sprint/working breeding, and a really lovely athletic type - we have two of our CB x TB mares in foal to him at the moment - hoping for a nice athletic little CBSH from them - a bit smaller in height than 'usual' for a CBSH, and with the added bonus of colour! (Will be either Bucky or Pally - while Colour is NOT our main aim of breeding - the fact that we found a little stallion who is guaranteed to produce colour and ticked all the other boxes for us FIRST before colour was considered - was a major bonus!)

We are often asked by people if Clevelands come in anything other than "Bay" - because they love the CB temperament and ability, but arent fans of bay horses - um...... its a bit par for the course with CBs..... lol..... and we are also often asked if we have any that are going to be smaller - only around 15.2 - 15.3hh - because they dont want a HUGE horse.....

So hopefully the little packages we have due in February and April will do the job!!!

We have so far bred a number of Pinto CBSH's and a grey one.....

Our website is: www.cmsporthorses.com if anyone is interested in having a look at our kids :)

Am looking forward to conversing with you guys :) I have been a member of Barnmice for ages, but havent used it much as I am still getting the hang of it :)

Please point me in the right direction if you feel I am getting lost! lol

I live in southern central BC, the north end of the Okanagan Valley. I will be looking for a registered Arab broodmare this coming spring. If she had foaled one or more times so much the better. She may not get ridden, just used as a broodmare, so a horse with an injury that removes her from riding I would consider. It would have to be something that would not be exacerbated by being heavily in foal. My horses have a pasture and daily grazing, shelters, barn; they live in small groups and live at least a somewhat 'free' life. I have 50 years experience with horses. If anyone has a horse that might fill the bill, or knows of one, please let me know. I am particularly interested in a good natured, conformationally correct mare. I will skip the great athlete with a crazy personality!

Look for the new CWHBA 2010 Stallion Service Auction list to be posted as nominations are confirmed through December 2009. Videos currently posted on Barnmice will go offline at the end of November 2009 and as nominations are confirmed, video will be available again.

The list will feature stallions nominated to the 2010 CWHBA SSA plus other association material as available. The 2010 Stallion Service Auction will be offered live on March 14, 2010! Enjoy!

The Desert Normans sound a lovely cross. I had no idea that there was a registry for them. The two half-sisters I have are by a sire that is Percheron, Paint and Arab; one is registered half Arab, the other out of a Thoroughbred/Belgian. They are both very athletic with lots of natural jump.
Kay Langmuir Comment by Kay Langmuir on November 3, 2009 at 8:58pm
Did you know that an arab/percheron cross is called a Desert Norman, and that there is now a registry for these horses? I stumbled across my first arab/perch cross more than 30 years ago and haven't looked at horses the same since. The cross is rare but works exceptionally well since there is already arab in the percheron's ancestry. Took me years to find another one. He's the one in my photo. He happens to be registered Desert Norman. It's a very new developing breed registry, and now I'm running that registry, basically trying to get more people to try this cross. Please have a look at www.desertnorman.ca and help spread the word. And don't miss the photo gallery.

I just wanted to let everyone know about the top quality Reining stallions right here in Ontario!! If you are looking for reining bloodlines go to www.orha.com....here you will find some great stallions in the Sired Stakes as well as the OBBO....

With the problems at the border and delays involved due to shipping semen, it certainly pays to do some research for stallions right here in Ontario....we were very pleasantly surprised to find some nice studs that are also money earners....bloodlines include Wimpy's Little Step, Peptoboonsmal and Shining Spark to name a few....

We breed Trakehners and Trakehner crosses that have been very successful on the A Circuit in the hunter and jumper rings. We also have horses suitable for equitation, dressage and eventing.

I invite anyone looking for a new horse to call and make an appointment to try them out. We are located in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario - within 1 hour of Toronto and 45 minutes from Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY.

Hey everyone. We breed Welsh section B ponies. We have the dutch bloodlines since we brought out mares with us from Holland. We are expecting 2 foals this year 1 is a Wedderlie Mardi Gras x Hoekhorst Sweet Serena and the other one is Wedderlie Mardi Gras x Savannah's Mabli Seren. We have a English licensed stallion which is a Hillin Jack the Lad son.
We also breed Dutch Riding ponies. We have 2 mares at the moment who will be bred this year.

We are building a website for the Welsh ponies at the moment. I hope it will be done soon.

I like 'Dreamer' It is such a sweet story line!

I always thought they were simliar. Maybe the equitation is just bases on you, and the medal is has both you and the horse judged in it more. Or maybe there was simply other people who had a better round?

I have developed a bad habit with my lower leg, I keep point my toes out, and using the back of my calf. I can 2 point like this and drop stirrups posting. In my lessons I am always told to put my toes forward as I am not putting on my inner thigh...
