A LIGHTER BURDEN
_________________________


Psalm 127 (NRSV)


Unless the LORD builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the LORD guards the city,
the guard keeps watch in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives sleep to his beloved.
Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons of one's youth.
Happy is the man who has
his quiver full of them.
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

- Psalm 127:1 (NRSV)

The Cleveland Bay..


Uses..


Today, the Cleveland Bay is experiencing a rise in popularity. Driven almost to the brink of extinction following World War II, it was essentially saved by HM Queen Elizabeth II. In 1962 there were only four purebred Cleveland Bay stallions in the UK and Her Majesty purchased the stallion Mulgrave Supreme who was to have been exported to the United States. Her Majesty instigated a breeding program using purebred mares, as well as mares of other breeds and within 15 years there were 36 purebred stallions in the UK.

The Cleveland Bay is still extremely rare, with estimated numbers worldwide ranging from 500 to 800.
Cleveland Bays are now an integral part of the Royal Mews in London and can be seen drawing Royal coaches for State occasions, visits of foreign dignitaries and other events. HRH Prince Philip used to drive a team of Cleveland Bays in international driving events.

The Cleveland Bay is a good choice to cross with Thoroughbreds to produce quality horses suited to show jumping and hunting. It is to be hoped that this ancient and attractive breed of horse will continue to increase in numbers and so be assured a healthy future.
