MSA Ragiel "Mr. Versatility" entered the ring for the first time as a 3 yr old with only a little over two months of training under saddle. He beat his first finished English horse after only three months under saddle! By the end of his third year, his show season was covered in Championships. They include the Egyptian Event Championships with Top 5's in Country English, Hunter Pleasure and dressage, along with Futurity wins in Country English and Hunter Pleasure. In addition, he earned multiple class A wins in Dressage and Country English as well as qualifying for nationals in Country English, and finally his World Class Country English Championship at the Egyptian Event.
His charming, easy going personality wins him fans from ages 2 to 102! Beginning with performance trainers as diverse as reining specialists showing an intense interest in his athletic ability. He is loved by all, he has a very magnetic enery surrounding him, causing little children to run to him and pet this calm, charming boy. His stall always has admirer's waiting to get up close with him. His approachability and friendly eyes invite even those who have never had the experience of sitting astride a horse before! A seventy year young lady at the Marshfield Horse Expo will attest to his gentle demeanor while she sat upon the great grey stallion, fondly known as "Bielly." He walked with pride while carrying his newly found friend. This boy shows not only the love for human contact, but also the Arabian intelligence it takes to continually show diversity in the ring. His owner, Nancy Kronstedt of Manestage Arabians, continues to find new project's for this young colt as he continues to show his eagerness and willingness in every discipline he is exposed to. He is now quickly becoming a master at Western Pleasure and will most likely show off his talanted new skills in the show ring for 2009, only adding to his long list of accomplishments and knowledge under saddle.
To highlight on his fun loving temperament, he has been called a "jokester" in liberty demonstrations at many horse expos. He will "ham it up" for the audience every time! Just as if he knows how to get that punch line, he plays and interacts with the handlers almost manipulating them in a game of roll reversal, "the chasee, becomes the chaser!" Bielly is a great pleasure to be around and exemplifies only the best of what an Arabian Horse's personality should be. His owner, Nancy Kronstedt, beams with pride when she says "... it is truly a pleasure to have been blessed with the care of this special creation."
