The Horse

Artie is one of the sweetest and kindest equines that has ever set hoof upon Watermark Farm. He is demonstrative and super friendly! Oh and did we mentioned super talented for the highest levels in dressage? It would extremely lax to leave out his lovely form over fences as well.

Artie was the first of the foals we bred from Aly Alice (Aly North/Bold Lad/Vilmorin) and just a delight from the first day. He has shown through Intermediare I and schooled through Grand Prix proving the amazing talent Again and Again passes along to his get consistently for the highest levels in dressage while not detracting from the jumping ability.

In 2011, Artesian WF was loaned to Madeira School in McLean, VA. In April 2011, Artie won an Equitation Division at HITS in Virgina!!! Congratulations to his Junior Rider and also to their coach - Dianna Rankin!! We will be adding photos shortly of their great partnership!

In June 2012, Artie returned home to Watermark Farm after having a very successful show career at Madeira! He enjoyed good success in the hunters, equitation and dressage arenas.

Artie is one of our current schoolmasters for both lessons and on-farm lease. Please contact Anne for more information!
