File talk:Bridon Belfrey, RID, Irish Draught Stallion.jpg
Querying is it an Irish Draught[edit]
When trying to track down the provenance of this image, I found BENMAR FARM, LLC (established 1999), changed their name in 2015 to CERULEAN FARM, LLC, and then in 2023 to KENTUCKY EQUINE HERITAGE FOUNDATION, LLC (a nonprofit). Same person; same farm address.
Website: https://www.ceruleanirishdraughts.com/bridon-belfrey-rid has same image for this horse
Found the horse listed at the Irish Draught Horse Society of North America as an RID (Registered Irish Draft), and using the same image. https://www.irishdraught.org/ApprovedIDStallions/Singlebridon-belfrey
And this video of the stallion which includes some footage from stallion inspections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOSQ2FkC3Rc
I'm not sure how one changes from a for-profit breeding farm to a non-profit horse rescue while still advertising and maintaining your breeding stallions. Putting that aside for the moment, my original purpose was to track down the horse to ensure it was a full blooded Irish Draught in the photo (seems it is) and not a crossbreed (which it looks like).
Leaving my notes here in case anyone else has similar concerns about this image.
