Sadly some breeders in Ireland in the last decade or so moved away from what was traditionally done and started breeding more to European beds. Kika is an example of these crosses, she has good bone from the ID (the legend of Irish horses that is Clover Hill) but to my mind inherited a lot of her spice & sometimes flighty behaviour from her sire line which is quite eurocentric.<br /><br />I would be super excited to see a mini-Gina as she will make a cracking youngster, as i think she has shown by being bred previously or am I mixing her up? *blush*<br /><br />Thanks also for your super kind words on Kika's build and temperament. She is sassy yet sweet and has some spice to her. Hopefully I can help her reach her mommy-dreams somedayAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-19543036847114005742015-02-17T21:08:06.447+01:002015-02-17T21:08:06.447+01:00I think Kika is well put together!
I know nothin...I think Kika is well put together! <br /><br />I know nothing about ISH pedigrees, but I have long considered breeding to Gina to one. She's a TB, and I think the ISH blood would add some bone to her babies (not to mention help their temperament). <br /><br />Regardless of what sort of horse you'd want to breed her to, I think her personality and conformation would be an asset!

I am relieved that there is plenty you like about my girl, I thought I was biased in liking what I saw in Kika. I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on conformation but i do like what I see when I look at Kika ☺<br />Ps: i am hoping to head to Equitana on the second saturday; i seem to remember you leaving a comment before about maybe meeting up?Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-38471897504654938592015-02-17T20:27:23.743+01:002015-02-17T20:27:23.743+01:00I love doing conformation analysis, and you've...I love doing conformation analysis, and you've set your horse up well. She has a wonderful topline, an ideal withers (what I've heard some say recently as perfect), wonderful neck to shoulder attachment, a neck that's long but not too long, she's balanced front to back, she has a long hip, pasterns that are good in angle and length...the only thing that stands out to me as a flaw, and I'm looking hard, is a high hock/knee. Ideally the forearm and stifle would be longer. Although she stands a bit under herself in the forelegs, my horse does this too and my osteopatin says it's nothing to worry about. If I were shopping for a horse based on conformation, from these photos I'd call you up. You even took care to show the hooves, which don't look bad.<br /><br />I would also say that she's in ideal weight for Winter.<br /><br />Please sent whoever did her clip job to me in Germany, it's lovely.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.com
