I love that picture to Lynda, it shows what a powerfull and well put together mare she is, look at that backside go, she cant half move when she wants to, we sometimes have a play together in our arena and she takes great pleasure in strutting her stuff up and down and showing the rest of the farm how amazing she is.
Nicky - Its nice to hear that everyone thought Bambooki had a wondeful temperament, many people have said this to me. I bet he was nice to ride, Ballerina is an ultra confortable ride and so many judges have commented on her beautiful canter. And yes, she certainly suits her name. Can you tell me anymore about the Bambooki son and grandson you know, i would love to see some pictures and info on their breeding.
I feel very lucky to have all these lovely pictures of her family and when she was young, I am a real fan of her Spanish and polish lines and we hope to breed our very own beautiful foal in the future.
I am sure that her current daughter "Df Prima Ballerina" by the 3* stallion WSA Charismma will excel in the ridden arena aswell, she is certainly built for it and I cant wait to see Ballerina's 2007 Granchild!! Come on Lynda, post a picture of the Stallion you sent BB to, I would love to see him.  |

He is a padron Psyche son, but the line I was most interested in was the dam line, " Asali" was owned by Jackie Ware before being sold to the EAU, but she was absolutly stunning !  the foal should be a real top class animal and the stupid thing is I have had offers from the EAU for Prima ballerina twice ! and turned them down, ( I want to sell her here) yet people in the UK wouldnt seem to know a good thing when they see it ! and her price does NOT reflect her quality, just the british market unfortunatley anyway she is going on the for sales page today ! may I add to approved home only  |

Lynda
As you know I have been in love with Prima Ballerina for a long time and really wish I could afford to buy her - did you get my email a few months back (after the xmas wish list on Coffee forum)? I hope you find a wonderful home for her - someone will be very lucky! (Although a part of me hopes you wont find a home for her just yet and she will still be available when I am in a position to be her new mum!)
Its been really lovely seeing photos of the beautiful horses you have bred. You must be very proud that they have all proved to be so much more than just a pretty face!

Just looked at her on the for sale pages she is lovely! If I only I could find the money looks like she would make a very nice ridden horse just like her mum.
I will keep dreaming. |

I have been duely scolded for putting a crappy picture of "Dreamfields Marqazite" on here , she, being another horse I bred, and as she has been with the same owners all her life (they bought mum too!) I am rightly proud of her, she has done every disipline she has been asked to and excells in all of them so here she is , bless her

yes, kate, I do remember, if she is not sold in foal then I will sell her seperatly although she will still be the same money, but if I find the right home for her I will be very flexable and terms may be avaliable again only to the right person. I actually had two different interests from Khuwait, one man came over and I picked him up from the station, he took one look at her and said yes he wanted her, but I needed to know a bit about him, he looked surprised that I wanted to know! so when he gave me his card , I looked into his life, without going into it too deeply he had wanted her to sell on in Khuwait, which was not what I wanted, so I cancelled the deal, the next man called and wanted to buy her sight unseen!, I told him I would not be prepared to sell her like this and needed to know what he wanted her for, what sort of life she would have, ,ect ect, he was most indignent (sp) and said he had his own stud and bred horses, and wanted a WSA CHarismma daughter, I arranged to pick him up from Gatwick, but then didnt hear anymore, so I guess he was not genuine. I have been told that selling horses to the UAE is often not a good thing so unless you are sure the horses will go to good homes, dont sell them there I heard later that man number one got his quota of british horses from certain studs ( no names mentioned) so those poor Bu,,,rs have an uncertian future. But "BB" is still here eating me out of house and home and loving her life to the full |

Lynda, it warms the cockles of my heart to read how 'fussy' you are in finding the best homes for your horses!! Not that making sure your horses go to the wonderful homes they deserve is being fussy, its the way I wish all breeders behaved!!
If fate has it in store for me to buy her, I will be on the phone and then on the M4 quicker than you can put your wellies on!
Kate
Ps Hope Minnie is still doing well. |

Well Lynda,
I have to reply as I have spent 37 years in the UAE which is where i assume you mean by EAU. Too, Kuwait is not in the UAE/EAU, it is a separate country altogether.
Just like here in the UK, horses are sold to what turn out to be disastrous homes as evidenced by quite a few posts here on AL including by you.
IMO, to generalise as you have done about selling to the Gulf countries is most unfair to good stables and breeders who really care for their horses. And, I ask myself how you found out about the background to the Kuwaiti man??. And no wonder the second enquirer was offended by your questions - I would be too; these questions could/should have come later AFTER you had met him?

First of all forgive my ignorence about the gulf states As I said Jane, the second man wanted to buy sight unseen, I did not want to sell her without meeting him , he decided not to come and I have every right to ask someone their intentions for my horse, lets face why leave it til its too late once she is sold, there is no going back! at least I saved the man a plane jouney. I am sure there are good people with good homes in the gulf states but without knowing a bit about them I am not going to sell! FULL STOP.
If you would like to Email me Jane ,I will tell you the source of my information about the first man and beleive me you WILL KNOW! ( I am not in the habit of making up stories and I take offence that you should imply this! |

I think that Lynda should be applauded for being so careful as to whom she sells her horses to. A genuine buyer with nothing to hide, would take no offence (imo) at being 'grilled' and should be heartened that the breeder is so keen to find a good home for their horse.

| Thanks girls, but I feel I may as well give up breeding as deep in my heart I want homes for my horses like the ones here on this thread, the ones who care for their horses and keep them, yet I know I am being unrealistic. Last year was a disaster, buying back 3! horses that had been starved and now when I try to find the right homes for them I am put down about it saying I should not insult the would be buyer by asking them questions. the difference is I am a small breeder and breed for the love of it, I love to see the outcome of my matings, I love to train the foals , I love to find like minded people and I love to make new friends who buy my horses and then we become one big family, whats so bad about that Prima Ballerina is from a speciel line because I bred her mother and own her father who is most precious to me I also owned her grandfather and grand mother, so I am not going to let her go to just anyone. I have had inquiries from spain, scotland, and a few from UK in the first day of this advert, so I have a lot of sifting to do before my precious mare goes anywhere, like it or lump it! |

Lynda, you are a wonderful example of a breeder, wish there were more like you about. I went to visit a mare a few years back with an interest to buy, the owners were fab like you ~ wanted to see where she would be living and would buy her back instantly if there was ever any need to sell. Don't lose heart, you are doing the right thing by being choosy where your horses go ~ you will never be loaded doing it this way but then if it's vast profit anyone is after perhaps they should think of doing something else that doesn't involve an animal.

Dear Lynda,
I had no intention of putting you down and more importantly, it never entered my mind that you were telling lies - i don't think my post reflects that at all but that is just my opinion. I am sorry that you felt like this.
I too have bought horses back I sold for various reasons but thankfully, they have never been starved. We always want to meet the buyer face to face before deciding to sell or not and even then, one never knows.
Dealing with the ME is an unknown hornet's nest but again, I have never sold to a buyer i do not know.
Good luck with the sale of Ballerina.

Hi there
I ditto Kate.
I absolutely love Prima Ballarina and the foal she is carrying will be very interesting. I loved watching Asali on the show circuit. Sadly i dont have the funds either although she is exactly what i would wish for and my stallion Al Galero would be grateful of some arab company in the yard as opposed to my other halves shires!
Linda do you have a website i would love to brush up on some of your horses?

Lynda, yes Jen is right, never get involved with animals or children, certainly no money to be made and all very stressful.
I have known you for a long time now, and I know you would never sell any of your horses unless you were absolutely sure they were going to super homes, even then, as you have found to your cost, last year, it did not work out and you ended up buying three back.
Don't give up, the Arabian horse world needs people like you, diligent lovng horse breeders who are not just after profit, but a good long term home, I know you would never exagerate (sp) over prospective buyers credentials or lack of them. It is only right that you ask someone interested in your horse exactly what they want your horse for and what their longterm expectations are. I know I certainly would.
