Taproot Prime is standing his sophomore year at Taproot Stud Fir 2022.
Prime was purpose bred to be used on 'traditional' heavier field hunter mares for eventing and show hunter foals but we are also using him with our Thoroughbred mares. He brings balance, uphill movement, active hind end, quality jump and immense presence to the breeding shed. Prime's pedigree is strong in versatile performance greats including; Now or Never M, Nimmerdor, Belisar, Salon and Pride of Shaunlara. If you are looking for a horse foal that can excel in several disciplines, Taproot Prime is your guy! Take a look at his jump video through the chute! He has an exceptional temperament and is very friendly. He lives at pasture with a few girlfriends to have as normal a lifestyle as we can give him.
He's a smaller compact package with a medium frame that adds quality to a heavy mare but brings enough bone to not have a hippo on toothpicks!
His first foal hit the ground late in the season 2020 out of a 1/2 Arab 1/2 Irish Draught mare, 2021 we foaled 4 of his offspring. The colt matches his sire's 4 socks and moves like a Spanish dressage star. Prime improved the dam's hip, added length of forearm and improved the stifle; all things generally needing improved in a heavier mare. We are expecting 4 foals in his 2021 crop, all of the mares caught first cycle.
He's a young stallion and will be starting his formal training this summer after the breeding season is over.
