Breeding Profile

Stallion Characteristics
UB-40 is a modern, long lined, riding type stallion with an abundance of charisma. He has a beautiful head with a large, expressive eye. His neck is long, has good position and is well muscled. The croup slopes nicely. UB40 shows tremendous power in his movement as well as expressive use of the front leg. He is a proud, confident horse. He loves attention although he can be sensitive and at times may balk if he is scared or confused. UB40 is hot and puts that energy into his work.

He has a pure walk with plenty of reach. He shows very good self carriage and his trot is powerful and expressive while staying balanced. His canter is beautiful and very uphill with reach and balance. It’s very easy for UB40 to extend & collect again. He’s fun to ride and work is easy for this very intelligent, inquisitive and friendly stallion. He is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to produce dressage prospects and improve movement.

Breeding Notes
UB40 has a lot of character, talent and brilliance. He is an excellent choice for old fashioned types or heavy mares. He is also very good for quiet mares that need some “blood,” or Thoroughbred mares with good temperaments.

UB40 consistently improves the trot and canter. While his walk is good, it’s the gait where he tends to show his emotions if he’s nervous. This is minimized if he’s bred to a mare that has a nice, big, relaxed walk. UB40 is built very uphill and so are his foals so he can help a mare who is croup high or with a lower neck set. He also adds suppleness and elasticity so he is an improver for mares with flat or stiff movement. He also adds height. UB40 throws chestnut, bay & black, but not a lot of white.
