I have lots of pictures of older Stouts-bred horses. I am going to say you will find a pretty large range of "type" even within any one farm name. It is hard to give a generic description of "type" based on a farm name. The reason being are many: the horses often came from other farms in that era, or other places and then the farm names were added on (the rules were not quite as strict to put it mildly), so you don't really know for sure WHERE a horse was born, also we're talking likely about 30 years ago, and the type from then to now was greatly different as a rule, though there WERE some very nice horses even then by today's standards.
My point is that if you were to take each horse as an individual, then you could have a better idea of what you have, genetically, than to consider the farm name.
My own TINY (and young) farm as an example: You have everything from a horse that had very minimal possible dwarf characteristics, heavy boned and smallish w/bad proportions (sold as a pet) that has my farm name on it, to the horses I try to produce now: fine boned, good proportions and show ring champions. To consider my "farm name" and label it a "type" is not really clear thinking. If you want to try and find pictures of the individual horses, and go from there, you will be ahead of the game.
I guess this is a personal "peeve" of mine and rarely have I seen a farm that has a "type" that they can advertise as being something synonymous of their farm name. Arenosa comes fairly close, but even then, there are horses from that farm or bloodline, that I would not consider show or even breeding quality. Audrey just did not put her farm name on them, though many today consider breeding with those lines, they can't quite emulate the same thing Audrey did. They are NOT her, though I will admit many are nice, we have percentage Arenosa that are being sold on the prestige of a name which has in many's minds become synonymous with type. It can be a dangerous pitfall.
So I see it all the time with a "Big Name Farm" bred horse being sold for higher amounts because of that breeding when it may be an offspring of the ugliest horse they ever bred, one that even they didn't intend to use for that purpose.
Maybe the name "Stout" just calls to mind "large" as in its dictionary meaning? I do have some historical photos of Stout horses on my computer if you would like me to look for some in particular to try and help?
Sorry to find a soapbox and rant a little. I'd just like for everyone to think clearly when purchasing breeding stock or researching pedigrees.
Even the most prestigious farm in the world has horses born on it that are "duds" and so the farm name does not necessarily mean anything.
