Calling All BUDWEISER Fans... NOW WITH PICTURES

[SilverBalls]

I have to say my Budweiser yearling ... Belcort has turned into such a nice horse. He was a late foal in 2008, so he has just been hanging around growing up. Needless to say he has grown into his beautiful long neck!
"Buddy" made his debut today in the PA Hunter Breeders Futurity and not only did he win the colts and geldings class, but he was the overall Yearling Futurity Champion. That's 3 years in a row for my horses! :cool:

Anyway, Budweiser sure seems to produce some really nice horses that jump the moon. I would love to know who has some of his offspring.

Here's the stallion link http://www.kitaralodge.com/index.htm

Both extremely nice, gorgeous looking youngsters ... :)

[VirginiaBred]

Knowing when to hold 'em is such an art. So many people show their babies when they should keep them in the barn. Sounds like you knew exactly when he would be ready. Great job!

[graystonefarm]

Congrats!

They are both really lovely.

Nice to be hearing about Budweiser… we’d wondered what had become of him. Seems that one minute we were watching his progression on Heike’s videos (both jumping and a short clip with Stephen Peters) and the next minute he was completely gone. Did he go to Australia, or was that Rhythm and Blues?

[avadog]

How many horses participated?

[GAF]

How well attended was the show overall?

We've been seeing some really soft numbers overall at most of the shows, with the only decent numbers at the usual shows like Devon and Warrenton and Upperville

Was there a good weanling and yearling turnout?

[Fred]

Congratulations Bill, and good luck with him in the future!!!

I was not there for the weanling show the week before, but I heard the numbers were not bad.
As far as the yearlings there were a total of 7 horses, amd more ponies I believe. HB turnout has been very light all year around here. It was a good show to debut my yearling... 1. because he is finally growing into himself. 2. the futurity was held at the farm where my young horses are stabled.
BUT... I mainly did it for the photo opportunity. :D

"BUT... I mainly did it for the photo opportunity."

WHICH we have yet to see...

The photographer said they will be up mid week... :winkgrin:

[GAF]

Was that 7 yearlings in total (colt, geldings and fillies) or 7 yearling colts and geldings?

7 yearling colts would be a decent turnout in anyone's books and a good win as well

7 in total.

[okggo]

Can't wait to see more recent pictures of him, I remember seeing his foal video and thinking he was quite lovely!

While 7 yearling colts/gelding would be a decent turnout, as I'm sure everyone knows, most are finished showing by this time of the year. I think it's more about Bill waiting until his yearling was ready and (finally had an opportunity to get some pictures which we STILL are waiting for........;)) and letting the baby grow into himself than caring how many are in his class.

[3Dogs]

YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Late to the party but HUZZAH for the handsome Bud boy!! Congrats Bill and to others with lovely Bud babies!!!!

[Tangerine Farmer]

I have an 8 year old who is a darling. 16.2h gelding. I'll show him 3rd level soon, but am getting his mediums better. His medium trot tends to be like a jack hammer, though it is improving!

I am impaired computerwise, so don't have a link to a photo site. Thus I put him on my USER PROFILE PHOTO.

[SilverBalls]

Here are pictures... he had no clue what was going on....

[SilverBalls]

WOW - !!!!

Thanks everyone. He took some time to come into himself... BUT I have to thank 3Dogs who found this awesome colt last year and sent the info my way. Good eye Debby!

[savvy9]

Gorgeous! I wish my yearlings looked like that too - LOL!

[Oakstable]

Lovely colt.

A friend had a Bud filly in his first foal crop. She ended up with wobblers syndrome -- she was REALLY big and had a long neck.

Fortunately she survived and has a home as a pet.

Very sweet.

How tragic...:( I am so sorry for your friend. Not sure where you are going with this...

[3Dogs]

I imagine there are many horse who get wobblers that we never hear about - too bad, Oakstable, about your friend's Budweiser :no: - but since "wobblers" is such a generic term for any cervical spine issue that causes "wobbling" behind, unless there are a whole lot more cases reported from Bud offspring (and gad, what about the mare?), I don't think there is a case here about Budweiser as a sire, if that was your point??

Unfortunate for her. And your point is?

Not really sure why you felt the need to rain on this lovely colt's parade and the owner's pride in this very good colt....? The thread title is calling all FANS.

I have had many young ones that were big and had corresponding long necks (which I happen to love and look for, and so obviously do judges). NONE of them got wobblers. I have seen small horses get wobblers.

[avadog]

Jeez talk about over reacting.

[M. O'Connor]

Jeez talk about over reacting.

Who?

The one who posted the non-sequitor about the "friend" with the wobbler foal or all those who (quite rightly) asked whether she mentioned that to put a damper on the positive comments, or just as a random comment?

Can't be too careful, what with every inuendo habitually magnified beyond reason around here.

I think it's been pretty well established in recent years that "wobbling" is a symptom of a wide range of neuro issues caused by an equally wide range of factors, from injury to disease vectors.

When there was no method or research upon which to base a diagnosis, a neuro horse was called a "wobbler." Now we know the symptoms can arise from Lymes, EPM, several varieties of encephalitis, WNV, kissing spine, sacroiliac abnormality, OCD (a question of management during growth stages) etc...etc...

So...yeah, what WAS the point?

[fish]

Hope nobody minds if I butt in with more congratulations to Bill (and Debbie) for finding this beautiful colt and giving him such a marvelous photo session :D

[Sand Creek Farm]

They are both really lovely.

Budweiser did go to Austraila... Last I knew he was standing at the Kitara Lodge. Here is a link to their site:

I have a 6 year old Budweiser mare. She is my shining star! Budweiser is really a wonderful stallion. Here is a link to my mare with lots of pictures.

Congratualtions !!! What a nice colt ! "Buddy" is quite handsome.

[YankeeLawyer]

Wow, gorgeous colt!

[vandenbrink]

congratulations Bill, he's fabulous.

I like Budweiser. I don't own one, but have a grandson. He's by Agmemnon, out of the mare Brauhaus, previously mentioned on this thread.

http://www.vandenbrink.ca/newhorsefiles/blondeboy1.JPG This boy jumps REALLY well and has a fabulous disposition.

This is a link to photos of his dam the Budweiser mare. She was high scoring mare at her inspection. http://www.redrockfarms.net/daminfo.html

[Iron Horse Farm]

Have to add that we have had many many successful Buds over the years...........

here is a link to several...........wish that I had kept at least two of the fillies! The woman who bought Best Kept Secret recently told me "I'd take a bullet for that mare"! LOL, it sure speaks of their temperment! :yes::lol:

I'm fortunate to have two Budweiser daughters since he landed in Australia. A 16.2hh rising 3yo chestnut and a 16.1hh rising 2yo grey filly. Both are super movers though the 2yo has international class dressage movement. Both are out of Holsteiner mares and are very elegant, tall but not quite as heavy as Buddy.

[savvy9]

Is there any frozen Budweiser semen available for purchase in the US? He is really nice!

[HSGF]

Pretty Boy Congrats SB!

[rideagoldenpony]

I missed this thread the first time around Bill, but have to say -- what a lovely youngster!!! Love that long, gorgeous neck!

[belambi]

is this the same Budwesier who threw the lovely max sabino (pure white) foal in Victoria in 2007?

[farmgirl88]
