For Joy is my absolute dream horse! I know that he is not standing to outside mares, so therefore I will have to wait to get a baby by him! Gotta have one! At the last show, I heard that he was an international A-grade jumper, and only started in Novice Dressage in May 2004! And now he won the FEI Prix St George World Dressage Challenge! What an amazing horse!! Bet there aren't many stallions who competed in both fields to such a high level! Is there anyone out there with pics and more information on him?

There are quite a few pics of him up on the THS website under photos (just look for the recent dressage shows). ww.thsinfo.co.za

It means that Callaho is a closed stud. They only use their stallions to breed to their own mares. You cannot have your mare covered by For Joy or even get semen from him. Outside mares mean mares outside of the stud.

I think so. Everyone has their reasons though. I think the guy that owns the stud doesn't need the money - he is only interested in breeding good quality horses.

They will be having an auction in a couple of years time - 2007 if memory serves - they are going to back the youngsters and sell them as going horses

I could probably talk them into giving him to us? lol Give me some chocolate and a drink and I will talk my way into and usually out of anything. If all else fails I will be there with horse box hitched, on silent mode (for those that remember Knightrider) I can hear the sound track now and the row of pulsating lights.... lol I think I am losing what is left of my mind from stress.
