UPDATE: BenMar’s Bridon Belfrey, RID remains the beautiful, brilliant mover he was the first day he arrived on our farm 2 1/2 years ago as the 2001 Irish Draught Horse Society National Champion Weanling. An enormous yearling, Belfrey took second place at the National Show with the judges citing he was too big to be a yearling! After the show was over, we asked the judges opinion about Belfrey’s quality; they both shook their heads and were speechless!! We are happy to say Belfrey has grown slowly and steadily in his two-year-old year. Now as a three year old, well, here we go again!! Happily, no matter how big he gets, Belfrey’s incredibly kind temperament always stays the same!

Breeding Suitability
BenMar Farm has selected BenMar’s Bridon Belfrey, RID as our Irish Draught Horse breeding stallion for his traditional Irish Draught qualities and sleek, old world beauty that will provide the best foundation for a variety of breeding opportunities. His ample bone will enhance many breeds that have lost substance through years of “refining”. Belfrey has outstanding confirmation. He offers enormous strength for highly competitive sports where many horses may breakdown. All equestrian sports require the equine partner to have quality movement for safety and to possess the winning edge. Belfrey’s movement is exquisite! Elastic, powerful, rhythmic, suspended and uphill in self-carriage--all in one gorgeous package!
