The Blue Raven Farm foals have a high price tag.
Why?
BRF imported their breeding stock from Europe (Germany) 1999.
The immense costs to import a European herd, along with significant bureaucratic work and costly quarantine requirements is only justifiable when the horses are outstanding. BRF imported only top of the line mares and an extraordinary stallion when they immigrated to Nova Scotia.
Pedigrees of BRF horses show that they descend in male or female lines from the most important bloodlines of the Modern Fjord Horse (spring issue Fjord Herald 2000). The herd includes offspring of: Torbjorn 1417, Gloppang 894, Ola Gik 1703, Valebu 1569, Rei Halsneas D462 NJ833, Grabb 1651, Dyre 1059, Safir 1717 and Jarmann 1788.
The stallion Njal 166 the “Founding Father” of the modern Fjord Horse shows his “Njal Mark” –a brown spot- on the faces of the most of the BRF horses.
What else?
BRF foals are born in a herd and remain together with the mares and the stallion –and with their buddies. With all the freedom we provide, they get handled well (calm, friendly but firm) from the very beginning. The coming yearlings stand tied, pick up their feet politely, lead and go on the trailer. They are very confident, don´t kick or bite and do all that you can expect from such youngsters.
Some North American Breeders go over to Europe to buy and import one or more foals or a stallion. Why not have a look domestically? BRF has already done the import work for you.
Feel free to contact Inge Burr at BRF for any further information regarding their foals.
Orion II
DOB May 17.2006 Orka/Lilli US$ 7500
Orion is a 3 yr. old gelding bred by Blue Raven Farm, sired by BR's imported German stallion, Orka. Orion is owned by Beaver Dam Farm. He's a very appealing young horse. There's something about him that gets to people. -- It's not a mystery. He's a friendly and very nice fellow. -- Beaver Dam Farm bought Orion when he was a yearling, and he's been with us, in BDF's Young Horse Program, ever since. Orion is turned out in a large pasture with 6 other horses, two his own age. He has the opportunity to run up and down the many hills, and his nice development shows this ideally natural upbringing.
Although Orion lives outside 24/7, that doesn't mean he's not handled and trained on a daily basis. Orion, like every horse on Beaver Dam Farm is brought into the stable daily for individual feeding, handling, and age-appropriate training. -- Orion has been long-lined in harness and with a saddle. He's had a child rider on his back several times. In May, we'll start his riding training, and know it will go easily and well due to all the preparation we've done over the last two years. The slow, easy, and steady system of training we use in our Young Horse Program is the best way to train a horse. It develops a mannerly, confident, and willing horse that will prove to be a delight to his eventual owner.

BRF Octane
DOB May 22.2007 Orka/Maite US$ 9000
Fabulous 2 yr. old gelding, sired by the imported German stallion, Orka, out of a great mare imported from Germany. This cross has produced dressage horses (and jumpers), and Octane is certainly no exception. In our opinion, Octane has every quality needed in a dressage horse. He's tall, and he's spectacularly good looking with a beautiful head, great movement, and wonderfully dark zebra leg stripes. He's also a real friendly and nice horse. He has absolutely not the slightest of bad habits. He's a delight to have in the stable. His temperament rates a "10".
Octane has also been in our Young Horse Program since he was a yearling. If you want a family pet who'se also a performance and show horse, then you couldn't do better than to put Octane in your barn. -- In all the time Beaver Dam Farm has owned this young horse, honestly, Octane has never ever put a foot wrong. Now you can't say that about many horses. -- He's in a large pasture with another 2 yr. gelding, and a 2 yr. stud colt. They run and play and enjoy their growing up time. -- Every day, they all are led into the stable, and put in straight stalls where they're individually fed. After breakfast, each one gets groomed on the cross-ties, then has his age-appropriate training period. -- Octane has had harness on, and a saddle on his back. He, along with the other youngsters, are routinely tried and tested with various "scary" objects and situations. This is the way we train the youngsters in the Young Horse Program. It's slow and steady, and it works. The result is a horse who is thoroughly used to handling and learning. Each one becomes friendly, confident, and willing. -- The end result is a pleasant and safe horse you'll enjoy as long as you own him.
Octane is especially attractive, unusally athletic, and has the best temperament to be found anywhere. His quality is so high that he should have been left a stallion, and would have been if the right buyer had come along at the right time.
