We have always believed in form to function.
Earl Grey, as an extremely correct and beautiful halter horse, has had many Regional Championships and a US Top Ten
Futurity Colt win. His quality, beauty and athleticism are in
striking evidence as he starts his career under saddle in 2008.
Although we believed his forte would be as a Western Pleasure horse,
we felt Earl Grey needed a particular kind of show ring experience
and we opted to put him in the Hunter division this year. In
his second show under saddle he was named 2008 Eastern Canadian
Breeders Top 6 Purebred Hunter Pleasure horse.
At the Finger
Lakes All Arabian Horse Show with Jenna Colautti aboard, he won the
AATR 18-39 class of 18 horses and was named Champion Hunter Pleasure
AATR.
At the Region 16 Championships, "Paddy"
again showed his talents and was declared Regional Champion Hunter
Pleasure AATR 18-39, again under the skillful direction of Jenna.
A very special
thank you to Edwin Thompson who has gained Paddy's respect and
trust and a special thank you to Jenna Colautti for showing Paddy to his
first performance championships. Earl Grey... the beautiful
athlete! |

a little more about
Earl Grey...
Earl Grey is the first colt out of our beautiful
Top Ten and multi English Pleasure Champion Bey Shah+ daughter NV Masira and is sired by the *Bask son, Amurath Baikal
(United States Reserve National Futurity Champion Stallion and sire of
National Champions).
For those
of you who have attended our annual Garden Party, Earl Grey's dam, N.V. Masira, will have left
you with an unforgettable impression. She is a beautiful dark chestnut
mare and is the epitome of what one would want in an Arabian broodmare -
quality, femininity, an abundance of motion and a loving personality.
Masira has been a highly successful show horse with major halter
championships across the United States, as well as being a Canadian
National Top Ten Halter Mare. Masira also has been a very successful
English Pleasure Horse, again with major English Pleasure Championships
across the Southwestern States and the North East. Her broodmare career
has been equally successful. She is also the dam of Simply The Best (sired by Amurath Baikal), Region 16 and East Coast Champion Mare, Silent Wings
(by Amurath Baikal), Region 16 Top Five Sweepstakes Filly and Hearts
Afire (by Afire Bey V), Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Yearling
Filly.
Masira’s dam, Shantu+, was one of the top winning
English Pleasure and Halter Horses in California, Oregon and Washington
in the mid-70's, winning many classes of 20 to 25 horses in both
divisions at the same show. The highlight of her show years was the 1974
US Top Ten English Pleasure award. Masira’s sire, Bey Shah+ (US Reserve
National Champion Stallion), is legendary in his accomplishments as both
an individual and a sire.
Amurath Baikal, the 1980 United States Reserve
National Futurity Champion Stallion, brings together two of the most
successful horses ever in the Arabian breed, *Bask and *Sanacht. *Sanacht,
a German-bred horse, is the second All Time Leading Dam of Champions and
consistently imparted quality of structure and refinement of bone to her
offspring - as well as her beautiful soft eyes and wonderful
disposition. Her offspring are still influential in some of the most
important breeding programmes around the world! Baikal‘s sire, *Bask,
will always be unforgettable in his contribution to the Arabian breed -
the mind, attitude and physical attributes to be an athlete - something
we seem to be losing in our breed today. *Bask was a National Champion
Halter and Park Horse - proving form to function is feasible.
In Earl Grey, we feel
we are blessed to have a combination of all this wonderful blood. He is
bred to be, and is, a horse who is both beautiful and athletic. He is
bred to be, and is, a horse who is kind and intelligent, thoughtful and
people loving. Earl Grey has already proven himself as a top
halter horse - in 2001 as US National Top Ten Futurity Colt and Eastern
Canadian Breeders Champion Stallion and again in 2004 as Region 18
Champion Stallion. But most importantly, Earl Grey is bred to be,
and is, a top breeding stallion....

Earl Grey's prowess as a breeding stallion is underscored by the
success of his first youngsters to show: |

Pomerol (*Padron x *Poviest
(x *Salon))
|
 |
1983 Chestnut
Purebred Arabian Stallion Fees: $2,000 - AHA Sweepstakes Nominated
Sire, SCID clear.
See Pomerol's
pedigree...
|
 |
This grand *Padron son is
wonderfully like his sire - tall, beautiful, extremely long
necked and possessing just the most wonderful disposition.
As a young horse he was Grand Champion Stallion every time out - including
the prestigious Santa Barbara Fall Show, shown by Mr. Michael Byatt.
He was just beginning his performance career when an unfortunate work injury
ended his days in the show ring. Probably one of the only *Padron sons
out of a *Salon daughter, this beautiful elegant horse has much to offer the
Arabian breed. In spite of his early setback he has been quietly
breeding quality foals that have excelled in a broad range of disciplines
including halter, english pleasure, country english pleasure, western
pleasure, native costume and dressage. Our decision to purchase this horse
became much easier when we saw three-year-old Colton Boggs call the horse to
him. Pomerol quietly walked over, dropped his muzzle and allowed
himself to be led around the arena at the end of a six-foot lead shank!!
(see photo on Special Moments page) |

The continued response to Pomerol has been remarkable. He
has garnered interest from across North America ...from people who
remember having seen him in the show ring as a younger horse ...as well as
those who were elated that a horse with such a pedigree was still
available. Pomerol stood to a full book of mares in 2007, partially in response
to his beauty, charisma, temperament and pedigree as well as his obvious
ability to unmistakably stamp his babies with qualtiy, size, athleticism,
personality and that very distinctive *Padron look.
N.B. - it is worth the visit to Rideaufield just to see this grand
old gentleman - he is magnificent, truly one of the elderly greats of the
Arabian breed....

a little more about Xceptshahn...
...Xceptshahn is a very interesting horse. He has the snort, blow and size that is the
trademark of the Bey Shah+ sons; however, he is a beautifully tight coupled horse with a long croup and strong
loin. His tail female line traces to Nabiel and
Gamaar which gives him his exotic, typey look. He is an extremely
leggy individual. Xceptshahn has a very short, typey head and beautifully tipped ears. He is extremely athletic
and agile - traits he consistently passes on to his get!
His oldest to show under saddle,
Sir Royal Bey Montana++++//,
who is owned by Michelle Harbridge, is one of the few Legion of
Masters/Excellence horses in North America. Montana has
amassed numerous regional wins in halter in both open and amateur
divisions as well as numerous National Top Ten Hunter Pleasure
awards both Open and Amateur. 2005 was a very successful
year for Sir Royal Bey Montana++++// - Canadian Reserve National
Champion, Ladies Side Saddle (shown by Corky Sutton) and Top Ten
Halter. In 2006 - Canadian Reserve National Champion Purebred
Side Saddle. And again, numerous Regional Championships in Halter
and Performance, both Open and AOTR.
2006 heralded the Legion of Honor awards
to two Xceptshahn daughters: Pretty Woman+ (at halter) and
The Xceptshahnelle Rose RF+ (under saddle) - owned by Lise Clark.
Xceptshahn was named one of the Top 30 Sweepstakes Sires in North
America in 2006.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008 - amongst his winning get
in 2006 were two
two-year-old Regional Champion Halter horses
-
2006 Region 9 Champion
Mare, WC Ciao Belle, owned by Western Cross Ranch in Texas;
in 2008 she was US National Top Ten Junior Mare (tied for Reserve
Champion)
-
2006 Region 16 Champion Stallion and Champion Two-Year-Old Sweepstakes
Colt Colorado RF; 2007 Region 18
Champion Gelding (owned by Rideaufield Farms
Xceptshahn has
one of the highest ratios of Champion get to number of get in North
America.... quite an accomplishment!
We are also thrilled with the beautiful Xceptshahn daughters
bred by Rideaufield, Pretty Woman+,
Liz Taylor RF and Xceptshahnelle Woman RF, all out of the *Ibn Safinaz daughter,
Alia Nazada.
Pretty Woman+ ("Julia") has a phenomenal show
record to date - three years in a row being named Eastern Canadian
Champion Mare and, also in 2004, Region 16 Champion Mare both Open
and Amateur . Two of her junior siblings show great promise in the
show ring: Liz Taylor RF (owned by Faye Sampson ), who has started off well in halter
(Region 18 Top Five Mare AOTH and Eastern Canadian Breeders
Reserve Champion Mare) and winning her first Hunter class with
Debbie Reid in 2005; Xceptshahnelle Woman RF, 2005
Region 16 Unanimous Champion Two-year-old Sweepstakes Filly and Top
Five in the Open Mare class; and the next, and possibly the
best, young Champion of this extremely successful cross,
Colorado RF,
2005 Region 12, 15 and 16 Top Five Yearling Sweepstakes Colt and the
talk of the East Coast!
And then the beautiful Xceptshahn daughter,
Atiah Zafar - her
first time shown in 2005 as a seven-year-old... undefeated Class A
Halter, Canada and the United States and Region 16 and 18 Reserve
Champion Mare. She is equally beautiful under saddle, and, in
2006 was Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Hunter Pleasure and
Region 18 Top Five Mare...
WHAT WE SEE IN THE
BABIES - lots of size, beautiful shaped high set on necks, lots of
leg, strong loined, short coupled, pretty face and ears, extremely agile,
intelligent and athletic.
