Wanted
Wanted
Black-bay purebred Arabian stallion/colt, to mature 15 hands tall or a bit more if a youngster, super dished head, big poppy eye, bold trot with lots of natural lift, square, straight legs, free shoulder, pleasantly sloped, good length of pasterns, strong hip, short back, level top line, natural lift to the tail, trim neck, moderate to long, may be overly fine in the leg, pleasant nature. To be used as a herd sire, preferably running loose in the pasture with a broodmare band, including foals. No CID or other inherited genetic defects. Prefer moderate face white, none acceptable. Will lease a youngster and progeny test him, sharing photos/video with owner. Blemished, but sound for breeding, okay. Body white NOT frowned upon.
Although black-bay is my preference, I will also accept the right bay or black, in that order.
Whatever I get has to come into an existing program and be able to cross successfully on the majority of the mares already here, both purebred and partbred. That makes it tough.
When I got ROL Raven, I only had to dump off one partbred mare who just did not nick well with him. That is the most succssful I have ever been bringing in a new stallion.

Here are a few photos of the current state of the cross: --

Pandemonium Omnia:
ROL Raven is the grandsire of the dams, crossed on the horse I bought to nick with him, SX OMEGA (by *Serafix), who I just gave away to a retirement home at the age of 26. He was already 22 and a half when I bought him, so I knew he was not going to have a LONG TERM impact on the herd.
Crem, one of the purebred yearling fillies Omega left me with, is my favorite so far. She is "western", but for me, they have to have that free trot with the lift and curl. Of course, they don't do that ALL the time, only when really "up", but the point is, they HAVE to be able to do it to satisfy me.
The yearling shot shows what she CAN do, at times. Then here is one of her full brother, Pandemonium Ombre (a stallion I raised and sold, as he had the lift and curl, and the reach I want, but is CHESTNUT, not black-bay, bay, or black. It is always something!)
Pandemonium Ombre:
One of our Iowa trainers, Leon Matthias, said that is the type of action that you need on a nationals level western horse.
Not every horse born here, even when I have been selecting for good movement for generations, comes out able to do it. I am also not sure how young they show it. I took shots of Crem last year at a week, and the trot (unhyped...) was not big and high. But she could do it and did, on her own, by a month.
Now, getting photos/video of that motion is yet another matter entirely. We are just now going through the herd and getting shots of what they CAN all do. Ideally, I would like to have both photos and video of each one, but the reality falls far short!
Last night, had it been light enough to film/video, I could have gotten shots of several I don't already have doing it...
I appreciate the time and effort it takes to make a video. Thank you so much in advance for supplying me one of your horse that you believe can carry the program on.
