Importing A Stallion: You’ve Never Seen One Like This! 

WOW he's gorgeous, so happy you mixed the herd with older horses. Best of luck, can't wait to see how he turns out!

They have sapphire mines in Montana in the US - Montana would be a cool barn name. Not sure how it sounds in Sweden but Montana is a beautiful state, just like him!

Zephyr would be lovely for him, it's a warm, gentle breeze.

So sad when they don’t wean them before they are sold, so stressful and traumatic for the young horse. He is beautiful though.

The conformation in the thumbnail and the title scared me.. I was worried it was another inexperienced horse person making an irresponsible decision. Mind instantly changed. I love the choice of turning him out with other horses, older and younger to teach him the proper manners. I do hope that you're open to gelding him if as he ages he does not simmer down and become respectful- With stallions, especially performance horses they need to have a good mind on them or the conformation and color isn't worth the breeding (IMO). He's gorgeous and I'm thrilled to follow your journey together.

he is absolutely gorgeous, his movements are so smooth and his coat color is just stunning!! i wish you two the best, i'm sure you'll make an amazing team:))

Woah 1.14k subs?!!! Congrats on 1k!!! Glad you were able to get this horse! Hope you have an amazing journey together!

Wow! He's stunning. I' m sure you will have great success with him.

Sweet! I'm in northern California - I do dressage. I have PRE's. My foal was born near Murietta and I picked him up about 3 weeks ago. I also develop my own horses. San Diego has lots of Dressage trainers so you are lucky if you go in that direction. I'm in a bit of a training desert where I live so I have to travel to trainers and shows. Good luck with your new boy !

He looks amazing! Ive also bought myself a special coloured horse c: a buckskin warmblood mare she's dutch german warmblood, gonna go with eventing for her gobstopper. Sometimes they get dark sometimes they get really light, winter kinda greyish. I find it allot of fun and its really unique

Congratulations on your new colt. I also have imported 2 horses from Europe for Dressage. While watching your video I noticed something that I wanted to mention to you and this is purely for learning and not intended to shame. I have been in horses for over 30 years and in the boarding business for 22 year. I noticed in the video that when the horses were on pasture that there are dandelions going to seed. Dandelion and False Dandelion are a HUGE PROBLEM all over the World. We have been on our acreage for 30 years and they were not an issue then. Dandelions cause ulcers in horses and is very expensive to treat and painful for the horse causing all kinds of behaviour problems. You can google it, I have seen it first hand. But false dandelion which is hard to differentiate from Dandelion causes stringhalt in horses. I also have experienced this in 2 horses over the years. The plant affects the nerve endings in the hind end where I have seen a vet take pointy scissors and push down an inch on the horses hind quarters and they do not feel it. The horse literally cannot walk. The horse when it moved walked in a stringhalt manner but eventually they cannot walk. The horses need high doses of an Epileptic drug and many months to recover and not all do. Pasture management is very time consuming for the owner of the facility as it requires spraying to eradicate the noxious weed. The flower has already gone to seed and each flower carries many thousands of seed heads and eventually you will have more flower than grass. Many horse owners are not aware of the toxicity that they have on our equines. All the best with your beautiful boy. No shade only for learning to keep our loved ones healthy ❤

I saw someone suggest Montana as his barn name which I think would suit him very well. I also like the name saffron for him, matches his vibe I’d think. So happy for you, hope everything goes well in the future on your journey with him

Such a gorgeus horse! Zafferano is such a fine-tempered and beautiful stallion. Most of his offsprings inherit some good gaits and of course his unique colour. If keeping him as a stud and breeding with him in the US, it would hopefully cause a huge impact in the breeding industry, as SWB arent too common in America. I would love to see the bloodline of some of the finest SWB stallions, continue its legacy across the world!

He’s gorgeous! I’m so excited to follow this journey.

Hes so Handsome i love how he carries himself . He has a super great run in the field .

I love him he's beautiful ❤️😍

maybe keep a "Z" name for him like Zephyr which means "west wind" (he is going west after all) it also means "gentle breeze"

Yay! Another horse channel with quality videos! Definitely following!

He is very beautiful and with those paces I really would explore doing dressage with him. Eventing would be awesome for him I think.

So late for me to comment on this video now, but how you pronounced Eskilstuna and Växjö really impressed me.

Omg he’s GORGEOUS

Wow how exciting, getting your dream horse! He's a beauty forsure! Enjoy your new baby!

Joseph Newcomb Dressage is on youtube, he and his business partner buy horses in Europe all the time. He is the trainer, she's the buyer and seller. They are in southern California.

He is stunning!

Gorgeous Horse

Warmblood stallions keep the stunning spirit. Geld them and you always end up with the equine stotally submisive and obedient Labrador version of the horse. I've come to realise it's all about narcissism and vanity. Really sad. He's an absolutely beautiful boy, bless him.❤

I’m also a Swede living in California. Underbar häst!

Congratulations on such a beautiful foal! Happy I got this channel recommended instant follow.

We have heard so much bad things from the equimax wormer so we are so careful when buying wormers and have never gotten the equimax as a friends horses have passed from it.

He's my realistic dream horse too, I love his look. But I really really love Duns. My true dream horse would be a Bay Dun with very apparent wild markings. I LOVE the leg striping. The dorsal stripe. And like your little stallion, that frosting in his hair is just so cute. Buckskins are so pretty, but Bay Duns are my absolute favorite. Apricot Duns close by.

Good luck with him, absolutely beautiful! I am looking into importing from Europe where im from to Arizona so will be really interested to follow your journey with this!

What a cute lil baby! Adorable!

Whoops not to add a second comment but I have more thoughts lol! In terms of dressage- For eventing and any kind of jumping, dressage is the base to build off of. I used to hate dressage, I found it boring. I took a few good lessons (I wish I could've continued) on nice horses when I was young and feeling their movement and talent was phenomenal. I firmly believe in dressage being the basis for any english horse sport- Flying changes, extending and collecting, building energy up in movements, learning long and low and relaxation, acceptance of the aids and bit... All of this contribute so much to how a horse jumps. The biggest thing for me though, is how much it can build their muscles in the best way when doing it correctly. When done properly, a base in dressage teaches self carriage and use of the back and belly muscles. I started working on western pleasure & dressage type training with my lease mare and it's done wonders for her fitness and willingness rather then just polework and jumping. Even more then that though, groundwork did the most for her. Just thoughts that I'm sure you know about, but from a former dressage hater, dressage is so important for young horses to know the basics of and with a good trainer I have a feeling you will LOVE dressage on your stallion. For names: Zappe could totally work in English I think, as a show name (or part of one) and barn name could be something like Spark/y, Zap, Lightning, Storm- A bit basic but could be cute. What other names do you have for your horses? He sort of reminds me of medieval magic, elves.. Like lord of the rings type stuff. Maybe you could name him after that. Best wishes!

He’s beautiful! I’d probably name him after a plant native to Sweden.

hi Raleigh!

Omg I’m moving to sand Diego and I’m going to ride there!!! Well continue it but still I may see you!

So happy for you!

you got such a beautiful horse

Love your videos so far, can't wait for more!

I wish you well on you journey with him😊🎉❤

ahhh his name is kinda similar to Sunfyre, like the dragon from house of the dragon🫣 he’s so pretty!

He reminds me of irish cream. Or coffee. What about Bailey? And on the other hand, he looks like the sahara desert winds, so maybe Sahel or Scirocco (english: Sirocco) - his sire has an italian name too

Tärnö är såå fint, bor nära tärnö.

Such a stunner 😍

Stunnning! Will he be used as a stud?

I live in Sweden

Good grief, what does that say about equimax wormer.

asså han är en jätta fin häst, congrats!

Is boarding a horse cheaper in Sweden? Congrats also! He’s beautiful.

Wow vart i växjö? så fin han är!

would probobly name him sapphire but call him zappe still (because its a really nice name)

a cool name would be Zappalot haha

I absolutely dont think that his "frosting" will disappear! There is a gene buckskins can have - which I can't remember how to spell! Lets try orguti... something like that...

Wish I was a Dressage lover , but I've seen to many bad riders and owners that abuse the horses

UPDATE

Might be called dunn or a daple great not sure or a buvkskin

Är du svensk?

Are you going to breed him?

What a cruelty...Oh he's so beautiful, come on let's bring him to our home, which is thousands of miles away. Who gives a fck about the insane amount of stress for him. But hey, at least you "feel sorry" for him.

Wish you luck on your journey with your new horse ❤
