Who are the most popular jumper sires these days? I am looking to breed my WB/TB mare who is short and compact with good form over fences. I am looking for something that will add a bit of size and movement.

I don't know who the most "popular" are but Bandaras from Dreamscape farm looks amazing!

Hi there. Have you considered a draft? I bred my Belgian mare to a qh and have a lovely colt born 2 days ago...light sorrel.

Hmm interesting idea. I don't know too much about the draft crosses... I want something that will be very competative in Hunters & Jumpers that is of modern type. Will the draft blood not make him/her too "heavy?" Would the offspring be atheletic enough for jumping 3'9" +? What are the popular draft stallions out there these days?

Your guy sounds very cool though. What do you plan to do with him? Post pictures!
