| How exciting to see him, he's my new mare's father, I remember seeing him and loving him as a young stallion at the AHS show years ago and didn't know he was still around. It would be truly wonderful to see him there again, I'm planning to take my mare there next year so could be a family gathering! He is looking fantastic! Would love to come and visit him!! |

Hi all,
Great pictures of this fantastic boy 
And not only great looking but a fantastic gentle personality too - we used to ride him bareback up to his field  
It's true what everyone days about the breeding and his children too - yesterday my mum was bombing around Blackdown on his son Royal Spear who, now rising 21, was 'refreshed' by his new clip!!! |

Spearmint is such a wonderful old boy and I think it is testament to the care and attention he and all the other horses get at Al Waha, whatever you're doing Bar, Kathy and crew - keep up the good work.

Lovely horse!One of my favourites
The Courthouse lines are super and breed on well .
I owned Somrah,his half sister, and bred Somara from her who is very fine .
Chris's point is a good one .
Both Courthouse and Ruxton appear to have cherry picked Crabbet and helped the better lines evolve .
Currently we own Padma who is by the little Courthouse stallion Shabako and she looks the image of Sainfoin .
Good luck to Spearmint and his connexions |
