INTRODUCING BISMARK ...and his doting family! |
|
Bismark could not have been a better choice for reminding us all that it is time to celebrate. We do not know the specific event for which Bismark is wearing his finery, but we do have a great story regarding his life and his owners in the J--6/Mescal area. Bismark was born April ll, 1990. He is a black, Percheron stallion, 17.2 hands registered with the American Percheron assoc.and the American warm blood Registery. He is out of a line of Percherons raised in the Amish country of Ohio. Bismark grew up in Atlanta, Ga., but moved to Benson with his owner, Linda, in 2004, as she looked to leave the messy Atlanta weather behind. Linda purchased Bismark as a project - a baby and still a stallion. "I wanted something big and impressive. I knew he was going to be big since both parents were over 17.2 hands." .... and now the story is told best by Bismark's proud owner:
He has proven to be a great ambassador
of the Percheron breed. He has a list of accomplishments.

. He has been a Police horse, a show horse, trail horse, he has done western pleasure, jumping, dressage, eventing and has fathered many fabulous off spring. |
He is happy at this time in his life, to not have a job. He is a big black pasture ornament, back by the mountain north of Mescal AZ. He happily accepts treats and visitors if you want to come by and tell him how awesome he is. |

Linda and her husband, Israel Martin, live on a small ranch with a pet steer, Carlton, 4 dogs, and 3 other horses besides Bismark. They like to two-step, love to take small trips with their travel trailer, and to visit with lots of friends. You can meet both Linda and Israel at horse events in the area. We just wish she had the time to set and chat about her years of service as a mounted police officer. |
