BrIDoN Beale street: reserve - Dressage level 2.
owned by connie arthur.
Bridon Beale street is a delightful Irish Draught stallion who had
competed in eventing through Intermediate and is currently com-
peting in Dressage at Prix st. georges. his offspring are doing
both disciplines as well as trail, foxhunting, hunters and jumpers.
We love “liam” as he is a super easy horse to be around - he is
good at shows, at home and on the trail. he did get to participate
in the 2010 World equestrian games as an “Irish ambassador”
and had a great time meeting people! his list of awards is far too
long to list here, but his most important attribute is his fantastic
temperament.
