It’s a GIRL

Standing proudFirst turn out of new fillyOur first foal of the year is a filly and was born 26 March 2008 to our Friesian mare Hilde.  The new filly was sired by the Arabian stallion Diadhem who we have used for several of our recent foalings.  DRR Gijs (Dutch) is a full brother to the new filly and is absolutely stunning (view him on our Sold page).  He was a multi champion halter winner as a yearling before moving to Colorado and the new filly gives every indication that she will follow in his footsteps.  The new filly will ultimately be dual registered as a 1/2 Arabian where she is sweepstakes nominated and with the Friesian Sport Horse Society.  We have reserved the name “DRR Desert Rose” for an exceptionally nice filly and are considering using this name for her.  She will be ready for purchase upon weaning.

DVD testimonial from Frank Bell

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Legendary Horse Whisperer Frank Bell was kind enough to provide the following evaluation of Bob’s recent DVD breeding & foaling project.  Frank is a friend and mentor that Bob has gained much from over the years and his kind remarks are much appreciated.  “Bob Claymier’s long awaited work on breeding, foaling, and foal training is now available.  Several years in the making, Bob’s effort to help horse owners intelligently choose the right parentage, followed by the solid understanding of the foaling process, initial imprinting, and early foal training, has certainly been worth the wait.  This four hour piece is invaluable to anyone choosing to breed horses and will prepare them for the following steps in this amazing process.  Doing it right is the key and Bob has laid it out in this impressive 3 DVD set.  Frank Bell”.
