Messages from a Lingh breeder…..

“We had two Lingh colts in 2008.  The first, Landmark VT, was out of a Jorn/Faram/Flamingo mare (double Nimmerdor). The mare is elegant, compact and although imported as a hunter, is a big mover when sufficiently motivated.  When we showed him as a foal, Landmark was the highest-scoring entry at Dressage at Lexington (85.6% from Lilo Fore) and one of the highest-scoring horses at a USDF Breed Show in the US that year. At Devon he won his IBC  and was 5th in the Regional Colt Championships against older horses. We sold Landmark as a yearling to a GP trainer in Florida who I believe has kept him intact. Obviously the colt was a great looker and a great mover, but I loved his personality and his mind. He had probably the best character of any horse I’ve bred in the last decade. A really really cool horse to be around.

Our second Lingh colt, Last Call VT, was out of a very nice Thoroughbred mare (Jovial Turn/Halo/Forli). Very elegant, long-legged and super gaits. Great motor. Not as strong a foundation as the first colt, but I am sure that was due to the mother. We didn’t show him in-hand, but he was easily Premium at his inspection, and was always the one prospective clients were drawn to. Fun to work with – always gave 120% and never took anything personally. The right combination of sensitive and forgiving. Sold him to a trainer this summer and he is being backed this winter.

We will be breeding several of our mares to Lingh this coming spring and we can’t wait for those foals! ”

Thanks to all the breeders out there that love Lingh…
