Bell Oaks Farm Bell Oaks Farm Volume XVII, Issue 7 April 2007 Bell Oaks Farm Bell Oaks Farm is a breeding and training facility located on forty acres in Freeport, Illinois. It is owned and operated by Klaus Biesenthal (pictured right with Matteo), with Kathryn Barry (pictured left on Makuba) as the dressage trainer. Bell Oaks primary focus is to breed large American Sportponies and small American Warmblood Sporthorses with big, correct gaits that are suitable for adults or children. The farm stands several stallions, with the most popular being the American Sportpony Registry approved, imported German Riding Pony, Makuba . In Germany, Makuba produced three approved sons. He has also produced several approved sons in the USA. Makuba’s hundred day test results from Germany were exceptional; receiving 9’s for his trot and canter, as well as for free jumping, willingness to work, and rideability. His most impressive marks were the two 10’s; one for his walk, and the other for his temperament. This super temperament is the attribute with which he always stamps his get. Makuba (pictured right & left) has had a very successful show career here in the USA. He showed in dressage for three seasons, beginning at Training and First Level, then Second and Third, finishing at Prix St. Georges and Intermediare I. Each year Makuba was the Illinois Dressage and Combined Training Association Champion at both levels. In the United States Dressage Federation’s year-end awards for junior young riders, he was second at Training Level in 2001, second at Third Level in 2002, and third at Intermediare I in 2003, competing against horses as well as ponies. Makuba (pictured below right) has also competed very successfully at Combined Driving. He has won many CDEs at the Intermediate Level in the pairs division, and at the Advanced Level as a single. The highlight of Makuba’s driving career for Klaus was winning the Advanced Single Pony division at the High Prairie CDE in Parker, CO. He will continue to compete at CDEs in 2007 with his new driver, Kathryn. Makuba’s children are following in his footsteps. In 2005, Makuba sired the highest scoring ASPR foal for the year, a beautiful filly named Allure (pictured left). In the same year, he sired the third highest scoring foal, an impressive colt named Matteo (pictured bottom right). His fully approved son, Markus , owned by William Bodard and Carole Wallace, competed this past season for the first time at Training Level, boasting many wins in the open classes. His average score for year-end awards was a 72%. He went to his first CDE, winning the Iron Horse CDE. This young stallion is also proudly standing at Bell Oaks Farm. His first daughter born in 2006, Gemma (pictured below), was Site Champion of her approvals with a First Premium Premier score of 8.1! Another approved Makuba son is beginning to leave his mark on the CDE scene. Driven by Mary Ruth Marks, Adeszko has won several events as a single, and most recently in a pair with his full sister In the fall of 2007, Bell Oaks farm will have the AWR inspect its newest addition, the Trakehner stallion Tigre . He is currently approved Trakehner, and is by Butow (Mahagoni) out of Taurose (Graditz). Tigre has been evented, and is now focusing on a career in dressage. Bell Oaks Farm always offers a large selection of riding, driving, and breeding prospects for sale. Please visit www.belloaksfarm.com or call 815-235-4031 for more information. Warmblood News 1 Performance Warmbloods announces that their young stallion, Barleone (pictured left) took two second place finishes in the schooling jumper division his third out at the A-rated Ledges show March 22-25. He will continue to show at Ledges this spring, and then on to Lamplight and Equifest later this year as he moves up to the 4’ division. Denis Thornton writes: The subject this time is the Live Oak Combined Driving Event at Ocala, Florida were we felt very privileged to have our entry accepted out of many applicants in view of our significant inexperience at this driving lark and in particular as it was one level higher (Intermediate) than we had competed or trained at; indeed our competition history consisted of only two events at training level and two at preliminary level. So it was with some trepidation that we approached this most significant event (actually USEF qualifying for the Worlds for the advanced level competitors!). There were 21 entries in our division - intermediate single horse. By the end of the first day's dressage round Jean was in 10th place with the youngest horse there, Blue Eyed Dream (pictured right and below) just coming five years old. Day 2 was the cross-country trot section A (6 kilometers = 3.7 miles) with a max permitted time of 24 minutes, the 1k walk only section D - 9:14 max and the marathon section E of 7.4 kilometers (5 miles) with 7 obstacles and 5 gates in each with an overall time allowed of 31:38. Times in the obstacles, or hazards, as they are often referred to (and I can understand why!) are cumulative and some penalty points can also be accrued. We were lucky enough to avoid any penalties (and indeed some misdemeanors can cause instant elimination!) and to come in well within the allowed times, except the walk were we had but a squeaky two seconds to spare. At the end of marathon day we had advanced three places; no mean feat at this level of competition with only five representatives from Florida and the rest coming from as far afield as Canada and California! We certainly gave it our all, as you will see at this youtube video link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntudjlZazyw). It was very satisfying to complete these obstacles cleanly and with good times despite the hybrid nature of our vehicle! On the last day Jean did a very nice cones course run within the specified time and, with only one penalty ball down, was able to pull up to sixth place to earn a ribbon at this prestigious show. With the Budweiser Clydesdales and Pat Parelli there, a vintage car show on the Sunday, splendid organization, and simply beautiful weather it was a very fine advertisement for the sport of driving.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

Assessing Color and Breed In model horse competitions, the goal is to faithfully recreate the equestrian world in miniature. It is what exhibitors strive to do and what judges consider when evaluating a table of entries. One aspect of that evaluation is whether the color of the model is realistic. In order to assess this, a judge must be able to distinguish between visually similar (but often geneti- cally distinct) colors and patterns and determine whether or not the color depicted on the model is suitable for the breed the entrant has assigned. This task is complicated by the fact that many participants—who are at heart collectors as well as competitors—are attracted to pieces that are unique or unusual. So how does a judge determine which colors are legitimate for a particular breed and which are questionable or outright unrealistic? When it comes to the range of colors within each breed, there are three basic considerations. Breeds are limited by the genes present in the population (what is possible), by any restrictions placed by their registry (what is permissible), and by what is counted as a fault in breed competitions (what is penalized).

  • The Petite Warmblood Meetm Theh Ggerman Rridingidi Ppony
    The Petite Warmblood MeetM theh GermanG RidingRidi Pony.P ThirdThi d ini an occasional series on ponies in dressage BY MELISSA MULCHAHEY COMPACT EYE-CATCHER: Te champion German Riding Pony stallion Golden State NRW, owned by Melissa Mulchahey 42 May 2015 t USDF CONNECTION hat looks and moves like a warmblood but wears a 70-inch blanket? A German Rid- ing Pony! Te Germans have been breed- ing and showing these “fun-sized” dressage Wand jumping dynamos for the past 40 years, and over the past decade American dressage riders and breeders started fol- lowing suit. Let’s take a look at the history of the breed and a couple of “pony addicted” USDF members and breeders. Breed History Te development of the German Riding Pony (GRP) began in the mid-1960s, primarily in the warmblood-breeding areas of northern Germany. Breeders and trainers saw a need for a large pony with athletic ability and a temperament suitable for children to compete in dressage, eventing, and jumping. Te goal was to maintain the pony character, type, and will- ingness to perform along with the competitive athleticism of the full-sized riding horse, but in a smaller package. Early cross-breeding attempts between local farm po- nies and Arabians or small Toroughbreds to produce a sport pony were not successful. In the 1970s, breeders be- gan importing British ponies—primarily Welsh and New Forest—for use as foundation stock. By 1975, a recognizable and consistent pony type was established. ongoing eforts have resulted in the development of a modern pony that is athletic, elegant, and intelligent, with a good disposition and suitability for small adult riders and children.
