Hi Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia --
Jaimie and I are coming to Winona. We'll be doing a presentation of Gjest's
offspring in the Stallion Presentation program, and right now I'm
frantically writing the commentary on Gjest and the wonderful horses that
will be representing him.. -- Starfire Farm will be there with BDF Obelisk
(Gjest x Stine - Ene daughter) , BDF John Arthur (Gjest x Holly - Solar
daughter ) , and BDF Magnum (Gjest x Holly - Solar daughter) . Sheila
Tweedie will be there showing BDF Nora (Gjest x Maryke - Hjerter-Knaeght
daughter ) . Kathy Johnson will be showing her stallion, WW Reidar
(Gjest x Ranka - Sebastian daughter ) . --- Kathy Spiegel will be showing
her stallion, BDF Titian (Gjest x Maryke - Hjerter-Knaeght daughter ). ---
Curt Pierce will show Ironwood Blitzen (Gjest x SS Saska - Holunder
daughter) for Ironwood Farm. -- I have a feeling I've forgotten somebody,
and if so, I apologise. All of us at Beaver Dam Farm are tremendously
grateful to all these owners for their efforts to represent our grand old
stallion.
This week our trainer, Jaimie Benoit and I will work to be sure we have
photos and DVDs on all our sale horses. Even after an excellent sale season
this summer, we still have a few very nice horses to offer. -- These
include the following . . . .
A yearling stud colt sired by Gjest who just might turn out to be a big-time
winner. His name is FRF BARNIKEL, and this horse certainly has the breeding
to be a great stallion. -- He's sired by GJEST out of the imported Dutch
mare, Ruth, who was sired by MYRSTEIN, an ELITE stallion in Holland. . --
As you'll see for yourself during the Gjest's Presentation, Gjest produces
athletes. Gorgeous horses with superb movement and an incredible work
ethic. -- I w as told that back in 1985 while watching Gjest at the
biggest Fjord show in Holland. One of Gjest's stallion handlers said to me
. . . "Gjest has great movement and great athletic ability. He also has a
tremendous work ethic. He passes these things on to his sons and
daughters." -- Myrstein was a stalliion very much like Gjest. -- He was
built in the same mode. Bob van Bon often said . . . "We just can't find
stalliions like Gjest and Myrstein anymore." -- What he meant was
stallions with strength and bone. Stallions that could work all day and do
it again the next day and the next. -- Stallions with great heart to do the
job. -- Stallions that stayed healthy and strong and fertile into old
ge. -- Those stallions are few and far between nowadays.
FRF BARNIKEL carries these rare genes. He is for sale as a breeding
stallion. -- This is a rare opportunity for one of you to acquire the
possibility of owning a stallion who combines the best of bloodlines on both
sides of the pedigree. -- It's a particularly rare opportunity because the
price isn't overwhelming. The owner, Sheila Tweedie from New Jersey is an
absolutely knowledgeable and dedicated horsewoman. She is more interested
that FRF Barnikel (Barni) go to the right home than she is in any money she
might make from the sale. -- Of course, such a well-bred stud colt is not
going to be given away, but I'm trying to tell everybody that for this
owner, price is not the priority. A stud colt with such a pedigree needs
time to grow up. -- The strength represented in this special pedigree is
not to be taken lightly. -- The combination of genes (Gjest and Myrstein)
could produce a truly spectacular stallion. -- Beaver Dam Farm and Barni's
owners are looking for the right situation for him. This would be a farm or
individual that has the experience and seriousness of purpose to bring on a
young stallion, allowing him to mature, and to eventually prove himself. --
So, if you are that type of person , please come to our stall and talk to
Jaimie and Carol. Come and look at the DVD we'll have available on Barni
and other sale horses.
~~
Other horses we currently have available are --
VALENA, a lovely Flotren daughter. 6 years old. Absolutely as bombproof
and reliable as any horse can be. -- She rides nicely now and is 100% safe
for the most timid beginner rider. -- Valena has the kind of attitude and
temperament that will make her a wonderful driving horse. Valena is a
proven broodmare.
PEVENSIE - a Caspain daughter. Caspain is a son of the elite stallion,
Myrstein. Pevensie is 6 years old and a proven broodmare.-- This is
the easiest horse to ride in the world. She's absolutely dependable on the
trail in a halter with leadropes. She's wonderful bareback. -- You can't
get braver or more laidback than Pevensie.
BRENNING -- 10 yr. old gelding sired by Marnix (Advanced CDE horse) and out
of the gorgeous BDF Jennifer Ann (Gjest x Stine-Ene) -- Bren
