This message is from: "Arthur Rivoire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam farm in Nova Scotia --
We have two excellent yearling stud colts --- one of which we must sell. They are BDF TITIAN and BDF TITAN. BDF TITIAN - (Gjest x Maryke- Hjerter-Knaeght). Titian is extremely attractive. --- He's very well bred with bloodlines that should be particularly attractive to North American breeders. I'll explain more on that later --- He has very good conformation, and is a very FANCY & CORRECT mover. ATTRACTIVE -- He's going to be very dark, coppery in color. He has four really black socks. His head is extremely pretty with huge eyes. WELL-BRED -- Sired by GJEST, out of the imported in-utero mare, MARYKE. -- I say that this cross should be of particular interest to NA Fjord breeders for two reasons - #1, The Netherlands Fjordhorse Studbook chose as one of their Studbook stallions (only 45 for the whole country with a Fjord population of around 13,000) , a stallion with this same breeding. I'm talking about the Gjest son, FJELLWIN, who was out of a HJERTER-KNAEIGHT daughter. The stallion, Hjerter-Knaeght, was Holland's longest standing breeding stallion, very famous for siring top quality daughters. HJ was imported to Holland from Denmark. - #2, Our stud colt, BDF TITIAN, is a full brother to some of the best performing Fjords in America. -- There's BDF MISS NAVETA, owned and trained by Michael and Betsy Scott in Minnesota. Miss Naveta has won very big-time almost all the high level driving championships in the midwest, including lots of championships in driven dressage. There's also BDF IDAR, a gelding, owned and trained by Elaine Olsen in So. California. Idar has competed against some of the best and most expensive Warmbloods in California in the dressage ring, and consistently done extremely well. So well, that he's won championships at these big shows, and one year was in the Top Five in So. CA at Training Level. -- You can imagine the numbers and quality of horses competing in dressage in So. CA. Then there's BDF LILLEHAMMER, owned and trained by Sue Banks in VA. Lilly has also done very well in dressage competing against Warmbloods. Other lesser known full brothers and sisters are - BDF NORA, BDF QUENTIN DURWARD, & BDF PHOEBE. -- Both Nora and Phoebe are very much like Titian. That is to say, very dark in color with gorgeous heads, markings, and spectacularly fancy movement. BDF Quentin Durward is lighter colored. -- All of them are very big-bodied. By no means drafty, but with nice, round barrels. TO SUM UP -- This yearling colt is super eye-catching, great color, beautiful head, and four black socks. --- He has correct and flashy movement. -- He has proven performance bloodlines (full brother to above named champions) , as well as proven breeding bloodlines (same sire and maternal grandsire as the Dutch Studbook stallion). BDF TITIAN has a lovely, quiet temperament, and he's been very well-handled and trained since birth. NOTE: BDF TITIAN (so-named by my artist husband because he has the deep reddish coat that's associated with the artist, Titian.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BDF TITAN - Yearling stud colt sired by GJEST, out of the Norwegian imported mare, STINE. -- I've already written a lot about Titan, so will say less here. He's extremely tall (13.2 at ten months) with wonderful conformation and incredibly big bone. He has a lovely head. His movement is very correct and very big. His bloodlines are impeccable and proven. He's the full brother to three well-known and admired stallions in the U.S. -- BDF KANADA KING, BDF MALDOLM LOCK, & BDF OBELISK. Kanada King and Obelisk have both been evaluated as Blue Ribbon stallions. Malcolm Locke has not been to an evaluation. BDF TITAN has a sweet and cooperative personality, and he's been extremely well-handled and trained since birth. Our #1 aim with both these colts is to find the right home for them (one of them anyway) - They're top quality, and they've had the right feeding and handling from conception to this day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Those interested in discussing these colts may call or email us. We can do current videos at any time.
