About his name: Bedwyr (Welsh for Bedivere) was trusted friend & companion of King Arthur. Bedwyr was one of the first knights to join the Knights of the Round Table. Bedwyr was born the day after OldDominion Artorius, thus the name seemed fitting.

The following video clips are B free lunging.  He has been trained to free lunge on point.  A point of the hand and he is off in the direction you have directed.  Unfortunately, my ring is a little too big for this so he did some 1/2 circles in the ring.   This came in handy to do these video clips when I am solo and without an additional set of hands.      B Canter 10-2-08 2,566KB     B canter to trot 10-2-08 2,756KB     B at trot (1) 3,982 KB     B at trot (2) 14,759KB       Big B canter to trot 10-2-08 15,854KB

Bedwyr is stunning, handsome, kind and gentle with the most amazing and endearing temperament. Just like his namesake, B has grown into a trusted friend and companion.  He is smart and a perfect gentleman.  B has recently completed 45 days of natural horsemanship training using the Clinton Anderson method. (His trainer is currently manager at Clinton Anderson's Texas Ranch). He was in training from mid-August to late September and is an even a more phenomenal fellow than he was when he left.  He is currently very green under saddle with only a handful of rides at w/t/c.  He is now enjoying some time off,  but now has an incredible foundation from which to build.  He is ready to mold and go in the disciple of your choosing.  He has extremely huge potential to be an exceptional event horse, hunter, or dressage mount.  While we are hugely content to keep Big B here as a member of our family, we realize his full potential would never be realized and he would do far greater things for the breed to be out in the public eye.   Therefore, he is offered for sale to the right home.  He is excellent for the farrier, up to date on everything and has had his wolf teeth removed. $10,000.     Big B's  Pedigree     Please inquire.
