Spotlight on Demo Horse: Bridon Beale Street

Registered Irish Draught stallion, Bridon Beale Street "Liam," was born in Virginia, although both parents (Mountain Pearl RID x Graceland Pride RID) were imported. After doing very little for the first six years of his life, he came to the attention of Shirley Kahlert and Connie Arthur, who picked him out of several young stallion prospects. He was brought to California in September 2006, and thus began his event training.
He did his first horse trials in February 2007, then proceeded to move up through the ranks, qualifying for Championships in all of the first three levels that year. He is currently competing at Training Level and just completed his 18th horse trial without a single cross country jump penalty. Liam has also been competing in Show Jumping and has foxhunted with the Los Altos Hounds.
Liam recently prepared and participated in the Galway (Temecula, CA) 3-day event with steeplechase as the grand finale of the great year. He finished extremely strongly with no time penalties in steeplechase and no jump penalities cross country. His other fall events were Woodside Horse Trials, where he had clean cross country and stadium rounds; and Ram Tap Horse Trials, there being ridden by Yves Sauvignon as a catch ride, where he was first after dressage and again went clean cross country.

Liam is qualified to demo in Eventing, Foxhunting, and Show Jumping, and will be ridden by his co-owner, Connie Arthur. For more info on Liam, go to http://www.lonetreefarm.net/
Liam enjoys his turnouts next to his yearling and weanling children, and it is especially enjoyable to watch them play "lip games" with their father, who loves the social interaction and is very gently with them. Liam has been a fantastic traveler through the mountains, and doesn't shy away from active surf at the beach.
